NIFT initiates new sizing project with Size Stream

26 August 2022, Mumbai

The National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) has initiated a research project titled “National Sizing Survey of India” to develop a comprehensive size chart for ready to wear garments based on body measurements of the Indian population. Sanctioned in May 2017 by the Ministry of Textiles, within its Research and Development scheme, this project aims to measure 25,000 male and female persons aged 18 to 65 years old in six different regions of India using contactless 3D whole body scanners by Size Stream.

Size Stream’s scanners meet NIFT’s prescribed technical requirements at the lowest price. The company supplied three 3D whole-body scanners to NIFT for this very purpose. It provided technical support for scanner movements to the six locations throughout India. As of June 2022, NIFT has completed body measurements of over 21,000 people across five regions. All three scanners are working to their full potential and to the utmost satisfaction of the client.
