Four co-located events, each playing a crucial role in the global textile supply chain, will be showcased under the banner of Bharat Tex 2025 at the India Expo Centre & Mart, Greater Noida. The Garment Technology Expo (GTE) 2025, South East Asia’s leading apparel production technology event, will showcase cutting-edge machinery, processes, and solutions, bringing together manufacturers, designers, and industry professionals to explore the latest advancements.
 

DyeChem World Bharat Tex 2025 will focus on sustainable dyes, chemicals, and innovative raw materials that support the textile industry's shift towards eco-friendly manufacturing. With sustainability taking centre stage, this segment will highlight how raw material suppliers are adopting advanced technology to reduce environmental impact while maintaining product quality.
 

Another significant highlight will be the Indian Handicrafts Pavilion, featuring over 450 exhibitors from across the country. This segment will showcase a diverse range of handcrafted products, including home décor, furnishings, fashion accessories, and Geographical Indication (GI) products.
