Baramulla (Jammu and Kashmir), Bankura (West Bengal), and Kolar (Karnataka) are all known centres for silk production and/or silk textile industry in India, each specializing in different types or traditions of silk. Jamnagar, while a significant industrial city in Gujarat, is primarily known for petrochemicals, oil refining, and also has a history in cotton and wool textiles, including bandhani work. It is not considered a major centre for the *silk textile industry* in the same vein as the others listed.

– Karnataka, West Bengal, and Jammu and Kashmir are major silk-producing states.
– Jamnagar is more associated with other industries and textile types.

India is one of the largest producers of silk globally, producing various types including mulberry, eri, tasar, and muga silk. Important silk centres are spread across different states, reflecting regional specializations in sericulture and weaving.
