GTL, is the only Indian company supplying Camouflage Radar Fabric and had exported 30,000 meters to United Kingdom last year, he told newsmen after announcing the Company's launch of MerinoCot range of Fashion suiting and Trouser fabric for the Indian market.
He said though there was stiff competition from New Zealand and other countries, GTL was sure of getting 70 per cent order.

Mr
Bhaskar
said
'' Camouflage
Radar
Fabric''
can
be
used
to
cover
tanks,
bombs
and
other
defence
equipment.
Once
it
was
covered
with
this
fabric
made
of
carbon
filaments
and
cotton,
no
Radar
can
detect
the
equipment.
This
would
be
very
useful
in
the
border
areas.''
