The three-day event included an all-encompassing array of solutions in garment machinery, digital printing, embroidery, trims, accessories, automation, and sustainable practices. In serving as a meeting point for industry conversation, it also allowed stakeholders to not only source the newest technologies but also share knowledge on changing market needs and best practices.

The show saw interesting innovations in fabric manufacturing, embroidery, textile care (laundry), chemicals, inks, textile printing, denim, sewing, software, leather machinery, AI and automation and many more.

Bringing together 200 exhibitors from the vast textile segment, they expressed how this industry platform of Gartex Texprocess India served beneficial to them and shared positive experience about the footfall the show received and visitors about the vibrancy of the product displays and the new launches during the show. Mr Nirmit Dalmia, Director, R&B Denims Ltd, who has a fabric manufacturing and garmenting unit and has been an exporter for the past few years, expressed, "We have been participating for the last five years. I feel like its been an excellent experience to understand the denim trends, learn about new creations and meet our own buyers. We also get to know what people want from the denim market. We have displayed our new garment line for the first time. We have also displayed some fabric selections that we usually do for our exports, as we have been exporting for the last few years."

Mr Amir Akhtar, Group President & CEO, Jindal Worldwide Limited, speaking about current trends in denim and the current tariff situation explained, "We have clearly seen a trend towards fabrics becoming lighter in weight. Consumers want a softer handle, more drapes and more fluid fabrics. If you see all the directional brands, they are launching garments which use lightweight drapey fabrics. In the denim world, which means the whole casual world, people are looking at the colors which are inspired by the shades of the forest and earth are liked by the customers. The US tariff situation is a serious one for any company, where 25% excess tariffs are going to impact the whole industry. This issue should be resolved as quickly as possible. This impacts both the importer and the exporter."

Fynd, a multiplatform tech company specialising in retail-tech solutions, represented by Mr Deepak Teotia, Director & Sales Head - India, Fynd shared, "We are happy to have exhibited our offerings here. This is our first time that we have exhibited at Gartex Texprocess India in New Delhi. So far, it has been a great experience, and we have had conversations with more than 120 people on the first day and have been busy today as well."

Another exhibitor, Mr Kiran Patil, Regional Manager, Morgan Tecnica, a company that helps to save around 60-70% of the manpower requirement through its automation solution expressed, "We feel that Gartex Texprocess India is a well-organised and systematic show compared to others. Even before the show, a lot of advertising and promotional campaigns make the industry buyers and visitors aware of the upcoming expo, which helps us during the show with footfalls."

An exhibitor from the laundry segment, Mr Rakesh Dash, Sales Head, Orgaearth Cleansol Pvt Ltd reviewed, "It has been a very good platform for us. Our association with Gartex Texprocess India has been an amazing journey as we have met many prospects and our clients. Being a laundry player, this is a wonderful platform that helps us build our local reach as well. We are looking forward to joining Gartex in the upcoming editions as well."

Functioning as the B2B platform for the buyers and sellers, the visitors to the expo commended the relevance of the product showcase. Visitor Mr Sanjay Vala, Director, Kanchan Fabrics shared, "We are manufacturer of uniforms. We visit every year to find out new developments in machinery. For example, we never used care system that is displayed here. We had it installed at our facility after learning from Gartex that helped us achieve better patterns."

Mr Sarfaraj Patel, MD, Pan Gujarat, stated, "I came here looking for innovative and new fabrics. I saw a variety of fabrics this year, more profound than in the previous editions. I loved the new patterns displayed and will continue to visit the Mumbai and New Delhi Editions in future as well."
