Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel inaugurated the Fabexa Fabric Sourcing Expo 2024 in Gandhinagar. The event aims to bolster Ahmedabad's status as a key manufacturer of cotton and natural fabrics for both national and international markets.
Sanjeev Chaturvedi, Vice President of Domestic Marketing at Reliance Industries Ltd's textiles division, highlighted Gujarat's strong foundation in the textile industry. He emphasized the need to increase the organized sector's share in India's textile industry, noting that while Bangladesh excels in garment manufacturing, India leads in fashion, offering substantial opportunities for Indian manufacturers globally.
Gaurang Bhagat, President of Maskati Cloth Market Mahajan, the organizer of Fabexa, stated that the ninth edition of the four-day expo features over 100 exhibitors and expects to attract 10,000 buyers nationwide. All national textile associations have been invited.
Naresh Sharma, Secretary of Maskati Mahajan, mentioned that Ahmedabad has solidified its position in shirtings, dress materials, and bedsheets. He anticipates that the expo will generate significant fabric orders for the upcoming festival season. The city's adoption of digital printing machines is expected to further boost local industry orders across the country.
