New Delhi, India – February 27, 2024: In a landmark moment for India’s textile industry, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate Bharat Tex – 2024, a colossal global textile event that promises to redefine the nation’s standing in the international textile arena. The event will take place at Delhi’s prestigious Bharat Mandapam, beginning Monday and continuing through Thursday.
Bharat Tex – 2024 draws inspiration from Prime Minister Modi’s 5F Vision, focusing on a unified journey “from farm to foreign via fibre, fabric, and fashion.” The Prime Minister’s Office, in a statement released on Sunday, highlighted the comprehensive coverage of the entire textiles value chain.
Scheduled to commence at 10:30 am on Monday, the grand inauguration by Prime Minister Modi underscores the significance of this event for India’s textile sector. Bharat Tex aims to showcase India’s prowess in textiles, solidifying its position as a global textile powerhouse.
Organized by a consortium of 11 Textile Export Promotion Councils and backed by the Central government, Bharat Tex – 2024 is built on the twin pillars of trade and investment, with a pervasive emphasis on sustainability, according to the statement.
Over the four-day span, Bharat Tex – 2024 is set to host more than 65 knowledge sessions, featuring over 100 global panelists delving into various pertinent issues within the sector. The event will also boast dedicated pavilions focusing on sustainability and circularity, an ‘Indi Haat,’ fashion presentations covering diverse themes such as Indian Textiles Heritage, sustainability, and global designs. Additionally, interactive fabric testing zones and product demonstrations will engage participants.
Anticipating widespread participation, the event expects policymakers and global CEOs, more than 3,500 exhibitors, over 3,000 buyers from 100 countries, and over 40,000 business visitors. Notably, it will also attract textiles students, weavers, artisans, and textile workers.
With over 50 announcements and Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) expected to be signed during the event, Bharat Tex – 2024 is poised to give a substantial boost to both investment and trade in the textiles sector. This surge in activity is seen as a crucial step toward realizing Prime Minister Modi’s vision of ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ (self-reliant India) and ‘Viksit Bharat’ (developed India), as outlined in the statement.
The event underscores India’s commitment to sustainability and innovation, aligning with global efforts to create a more circular and eco-friendly textile industry. The inclusion of fashion presentations focusing on diverse themes reflects the rich tapestry of India’s textile heritage, blending tradition with contemporary global designs.
