A garment fair will be held in Secunderabad from July 23 to 25, 2017. This is the consecutive 19th edition of the fair being organized by the Garments Manufacturers and Wholesalers Association (GMWA).
This edition will witness a much wider participation in terms of visitors and exhibitors, who are not only from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh but also from Mumbai, Indore, Ahmedabad, Bangalore and Ludhiana.
