The cloth is generally made on either power looms or handlooms whatever is the method of production, the cost of yarn and chemicals is the same.
Power looms use Electricity and less man power whereas handlooms use more man power and no electricity.
The end result is the handlooms are costlier than the power looms because of higher wages.
The topic of interest for consumer is the sales of power loom cloth as Handloom cloth.
Most of the unscrupulous persons are passing power looms as handlooms and making unreasonable profits and cheating consumers.
