During the first six months of 2026, the Babadayhan Textile Complex manufactured products totaling more than 140 million 858 thousand manats. This performance reflects a growth rate of over 130.1 percent compared to the corresponding period of the previous year, as reported by the Turkmenistan newspaper.

The state-of-the-art facility maintains a substantial annual processing capacity, capable of yielding 3,300 metric tons of high-grade yarn, 20 million square meters of diverse fabrics—including dyeing capabilities for 18 million square meters—and 3.5 million finished garments. Products from this enterprise continue to experience high market demand.

Specific grades of cotton yarn, including counts 31/1, 51/1, and 68/1, as well as fine combed yarn count 85/1, remain in strong demand. Manufactured through the processing of domestic cotton, these products meet global standards and represent key export-oriented commodities for the nation.

Since the beginning of the year, finished garments under the "Mäne" brand, designed to meet rigorous ecological requirements, have been distributed to consumers in scheduled batches. A significant volume of these items is made available through specialized retail outlets managed by the Ministry of Textile Industry.
