Key B2B platform drives Indian textile growth

The Indian government’s National Technical Textiles Mission (NTTM) aims to elevate this market to USD $40 billion in the next 4-5 years. The NTTM supports R&D, market development, the start-up ecosystem, quality control systems, and education in technical textiles.

He highlighted the Indian government’s initiatives, including PM MITRA Parks, PLI Schemes, and quality standards, as significant drivers of growth for the textile industry.

Techtextil India offers more than just exhibitions; it features curated seminars and panel discussions led by industry experts and government representatives. The event includes the Techtextil India Symposium, featuring discussions on geotextiles, India’s infrastructure, and medical textiles. The Meditex conference, in association with South India Textile Research Association (SITRA), will explore the world of medical textiles.

A dedicated pavilion will spotlight medical textiles, showcasing prominent brands committed to shaping the sector’s future. Associations like the Ministry of Textiles, Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSME), and Indian Technical Textile Association (ITTA) support Techtextil India, emphasizing its significance in advancing the technical textile industry.
