The Indian government is continuously spinning new initiatives in the form of projects, incentives and goals to push the value chain of the Indian textiles and garments industry. To help brands leverage national, global and individual aspirations, Gartex Texprocess India 2023 opens today at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi.
Inaugurated by Smt. Darshana Jardosh, Hon’ble Minister of State for Railways and Textiles, Government of India, Gartex Texprocess India 2023 – 9th edition, commenced today at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi and will conclude on 5th August 2023.
Sharing her thoughts at the inauguration, Smt. Darshana Jardosh said “India’s textile sector is one of the oldest and largest sectors in the Indian economy accounting for one-fifth of the country’s industrial production. The industry must adopt the concept of circularity to extend the lifespan of textiles by upcycling, recycling, reusing, and reducing the textile waste. The growth of the textile sector is one of the top priorities of the government and our efforts are to attract global industries and investment as well as create facilities and infrastructure for textile industry. Our focus should be to create environmentally and socially equitable sector. There are 185+ exhibitors in the exhibition and I am excited to explore the products and technologies at the show of Gartex Texprocess India 2023.”
