India's textile and apparel trade fair, Bharat Tex 2025, is set to host a promotional roadshow in London from Nov 27-28, 2024. The event aims to showcase India’s strengths in textile manufacturing and explore opportunities for international partnerships. It will be held in anticipation of the main fair scheduled from Feb 14 -17, 2025 in New Delhi.
The two-day roadshow will include a symposium, exclusive one-on-one meetings, and round table discussions on the first day, while the second day will be dedicated to additional meetings with Indian delegates. This format will offer ample opportunities for direct engagement and in-depth discussions about the future of the textile trade.
Bharat Tex 2025 seeks to enhance India's reputation as a global textile hub and to foster new business connections with international markets. Although many UK-based brands and retailers already have strong ties with Indian manufacturers, the London roadshow will provide a platform to explore new trends, partnerships, and opportunities in India's thriving textile and apparel industry. Attendees will participate in B2B and B2G meetings, sign memorandums of understanding (MoUs), and engage in other networking activities.
Organised by the Textile Export Promotion Councils (EPCs) with the support of India’s Ministry of Textiles, Bharat Tex 2025 will emphasise the advancements in India’s textile sector, focusing on innovation, sustainability, and investment potential. The fair is designed to attract global interest in India’s growing capabilities in textile production and design.
At the Bharat Tex 2025 Curtain Raiser event in New Delhi, Giriraj Singh, Union Textiles Minister, highlighted the sector's significant potential, projecting that India's textile industry will grow to $350 billion by 2030, creating an estimated 35 million jobs. The roadshow in London will pave the way for deeper international collaborations and investments that will contribute to this ambitious growth trajectory.
