The present review article deals with the information on the dye‐yielding plants of India. Dyes are intensively coloured compounds that are applied to a substrate such as fibre, paper, cosmetics, hair, etc. to give colours and can be extracted from the roots, fruits/berries, bark, leaves, flowers, and stem/wood, fungi, and lichens by various processes of extractions. In addition to their dye‐yielding characteristics, many of these plants possess medicinal values and can be used for multiple other purposes. Plant derived‐colours have an important role in human life because of their safe and eco‐friendly nature. But due to the availability of economically cheaper synthetic dyes, the indigenous knowledge of extraction, processing, and proper utilisation has been diminished. Nowadays, the demand for natural dyes has been increased worldwide due to awareness about their beneficial properties. It has been essential that proper documentation and measure of conservation should be undertaken to preserve these natural dye‐yielding plants. This review article is an aid to a collective inquiry into Indian dye plants.

印度染料生产厂：努力与机遇

本篇评论文章讨论了有关印度染发植物的信息。染料是一种深色染料，可加到纤维，纸张，化妆品，头发等基质上，赋予颜色，并可以从根，水果/浆果，树皮，树叶，花朵以及茎/木，真菌中提取。和地衣通过各种提取过程。除了具有增色作用外，这些植物中的许多植物还具有药用价值，可用于多种其他用途。植物衍生的颜色由于其安全和生态友好的性质在人类生活中起着重要作用。但是由于可获得经济上便宜的合成染料，本地化的提取，加工和适当利用的知识已经减少。如今，由于对天然染料有益特性的认识，全球对天然染料的需求已经增加。至关重要的是，应采取适当的文献记录和保护措施来保存这些天然染料生产植物。这篇评论文章有助于对印度染料厂的集体调查。
