Union Minister of Textiles, Commerce & Industry, Consumer Affairs and Food & Public Distribution, Piyush Goyal, has commended industry bodies in the textile sector for their significant role in organizing the forthcoming Bharat Tex 2024 event, the largest-ever textiles expo. 

Goyal expressed his enthusiasm during the curtain-raiser event held at Vanijya Bhavan, New Delhi, highlighting that this event is not merely a showcase but a testament to India's dedication to becoming a global textile powerhouse.

He emphasized the 5F vision - Farm to Fibre to Factory to Fashion to Foreign - which encompasses innovation, collaboration, and the 'Make in India' spirit. Goyal's hope is that Bharat Tex 2024 Expo will propel industry growth and underscore India's potential as a mature, competitive global sourcing destination in the textile industry.

The marquee event is scheduled for February 26-29, 2024, at iconic locations in New Delhi, with over 2,00,000 sqm of exhibition space. With exhibitors and buyers from more than 40 countries, Bharat Tex 2024 will showcase the entire textile industry value chain, from India's rich cultural heritage to the latest technological innovations. This mega event will include knowledge sessions, seminars, CEO roundtables, and more, redefining the global textile industry.

Bharat Tex 2024 will serve as a unique platform for both Indian and global textile players to explore investment opportunities, infrastructure, and incentives in India, highlighting its potential as a manufacturing and consumer market. 

This industry-led initiative is supported by various textile-related Export Promotion Councils and other industry bodies. Naren Goenka and Bhadresh Dodhia presented detailed plans for the fair during the curtain-raiser event, attended by industry leaders and senior government officers.
