The textiles and apparel industry in India is thriving across its entire value chain, from fibre to apparel. With a diverse range of products, including traditional handloom, handicrafts, wool, silk, and organized textile industry segments, the industry is highly segmented. As a capital-intensive industry, the organized textile sector is characterized by mass production, spinning, weaving, processing, and apparel manufacturing. 

The textile industry is the largest employment generator in India, creating jobs and opportunities for ancillary sectors. It accounts for nearly three-quarters of the country’s total fibre consumption, with cotton being the dominant fibre. India is renowned for its significant production capacity in cotton and jute garments globally. However, the industry faces stiff competition from China, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Vietnam in the global market.

Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Indian textile industry has demonstrated resilience and recovery. The industry encompasses not only large textile mills and high-end garment boutiques but also self-employed artisans from rural areas, who are supported through government schemes like MGNREGA and NGOs.

Building on the success of Bharat Tex’s first edition, Bharat Tex-2025 aims to establish itself as a premier international industry platform. The event will feature exhibitions, knowledge sessions, thematic discussions, G2G meetings, B2B networks, MoUs, product launches, and interactive pavilions. It will attract top policymakers, global CEOs, international exhibitors, and buyers.

Bharat Tex-2025 will focus on transforming the textile industry into a futuristic domain of growth and development, with pavilions dedicated to sustainability, circularity, and digitization. The event will also feature interactive fabric testing zones, product demonstrations, and master classes by experienced craft persons.

India takes pride in its rich textile heritage, and Bharat Tex-2025 will showcase the country’s solid foundation of tradition, innovation, and sustainability. The event will reinforce India’s position as a pioneer in sustainable textile manufacturing, leading the world across the entire value chain.
