Gartex Texprocess India 2025 opens on a high with over 200 exhibitors, 600+ brands

The 13th edition of Gartex Texprocess India opened on a high note on Wednesday at the Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan in New Delhi. The landmark event is being held between August 21 and 23, 2025.

Organised by Messe Frankfurt Trade Fairs India Pvt. Ltd and MEX Exhibitions Pvt. Ltd, the exhibition is bound to set a new benchmark in the garment, textile manufacturing and denim industry. This 13th edition of the Gartex Texprocess India features two new additions - the LeatherX Pavilion and the Textile Care Forum which makes the event more holistic and all-encompassing.

The Gartex Texprocess India 2025 has a record participation from over 200 exhibitors and 600+ brands from India and with international brands like Durst, Morimota Singapore (Kansai), Epson, Morgan, Jinjen, Groz Beckert, Brothers International, Jack Franc, Veolia, Amazon and more recording international participation from China, Japan, Italy, Germany and Singapore.

What also makes it more exciting is that there has been a whopping 35% entry from first-time exhibitors. The first day of the exhibition saw a high-level of engagement and was marked with vigorous activities across all stalls.  Spread across 1,50,000+ sq. ft show area, the Gartex Texprocess India has become a formidable global platform for the textile industry with stakeholders exchanging meaningful conversations and sharing innovative ideas.

Inaugurating the show, Chief Guest, Manohar Lal Khattar expressed: “The textile industry is one of the largest sources of employment generation in the country with over 45 million people employed directly, including a large number of women and rural population. The government has taken a number of measures/ incentives to boost the textile sector and generate employment in the country. I give due credit to the two joint organisers for doing a great job of amalgamating the complete value chain from yarn to finished products here in Delhi.”

Speaking on energy, Khattar added, “Coming to power, we have extended several schemes including subsidies up to 75%. Today, we are looking at the transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy. I urge you all to kindly upgrade your plants to renewable energy as India is moving towards its Mission 2047 to reduce emissions. India had set a target to replace 50% of the energy by 2030 with renewable and clean sources but has managed to achieve the same this year.”
