NEW DELHI – India’s largest global textile event will showcase the entirety of the country’s resources when it makes its second annual outing next month.
Bharat Tex is scheduled to take place from Feb 14-17 in two prominent venues: Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi and the India Expo Centre and Mart in Greater Noida. This event is organized by a consortium of Textile Export Promotion Councils (EPCs) and supported by the country’s Ministry of Textiles. It covers the entire value chain from fibers and yarns to fabrics, apparel, home textiles, handlooms, technical textiles and more.
Show organizers are expecting participation from over 5,000 exhibitors and 6,000 international buyers across 110 countries, with total visitors anticipated to come in at over 120,000.
Exhibitors will include major global and national brands such as Aditya Birla, Reliance Industries, Trident Group, and Welspun. Additional key participants include Mafatlal Industries Ltd, EM Crafts, and Supreme Nonwoven Industries Private Limited, highlighting the diverse industry involvement.
The event will also feature over 60 educational sessions, providing insights into the latest trends and advancements in the textile sector.
As the second largest sector in India (after agriculture), the country’s textile industry contributes 2.3% to the GDP and employs over 45 million people directly, with an additional 55 million indirectly involved across the value chain.
“India’s ability to produce various textiles at competitive prices continues to attract global brands and retailers,” the fair organizers stated in the latest update on the event.
They also noted that to balance its fiber portfolio, India is reducing its over-dependence on cotton and scaling up synthetic fiber production in order to better compete with China. In addition, India is moving into high-value technical textiles to service industries such as healthcare, automotive and agriculture.
“Significant technological investments have boosted India’s manufacturing capabilities, establishing it as a formidable competitor against key regional players like Bangladesh and Vietnam,” the organizers stated. “These improvements not only enhance operational efficiencies but also elevate the quality of outputs, reinforcing India’s reputation as a reliable partner in the international textile arena.”
