Several exhibitors presented technologies, systems, software and machines integrating advanced Artificial Intelligence features.

Live product demonstrations, solution-based consultations and buyer meetings enabled businesses to evaluate new machinery, compare manufacturing technologies and explore partnerships aligned with evolving market demands.
With over 190 exhibitors, including 40+ first-time participants, and a strong presence from India and international brands from China, Japan, Singapore, Italy, Germany, Taiwan, Turkey and Hong Kong, participating either directly or through their distributors, the exhibition reflected the breadth of innovation across today’s textile and denim manufacturing ecosystem.

The show floor featured technologies ranging from garment and apparel machinery, textile processing and automation solutions to digital printing, knitting, denim fabrics, finishing technologies, dyes and chemicals and much more. The comprehensive product showcase allowed manufacturers and buyers to assess new technologies, understand evolving production capabilities and identify solutions aligned with changing market and customer demands. Exhibitors shared their experience at the show, saying they found the right buyers for their products and solutions. Mukund Agarwal, Director, Baba Textile Machinery India, “Thank you, Gartex. It was an amazing three days of experience. We had a lot of footfalls despite the rains; many leads got converted, and we received new clientele. We showcased some new technologies as well in the embroidery and printing segment, and overall it was a very good response, and we will be participating again next year.”
Abhinav Arya, Managing Director, Fabcare (India) shared, “Right from day one, we have been associated with Gartex Texprocess India, and we participate here, which is especially designed for textiles and garmenting. We are now also seeing a customer base coming from the laundry and dry-cleaning value chains. Serious buyers are coming, and we are expecting a good turnaround on the last day of the show. This is the only exhibition where we conduct live demonstrations for all the new equipment, launch new products, and conduct presentations for our customers. So, we are quite happy with this trade fair.”
Based out of Surat and participating for the first time in the show, Janak Sutaria, Managing Director, Silver Samurai Textile Machineries, stated, “We received a huge response from the exhibition, had new clients and engaged in new interactions where we discussed about how they can grow their business with the machines. We have launched three machines over here, which produce high-end elastic, and these are very new to the Indian industry.”
Exhibitors in Denim Show also expressed similar sentiments. Minesh Juneja, Head-Sales & Marketing (Domestic), Raymond UCO Denim shared, “Gartex Texprocess India Delhi till date has been a show that people wait for. The footfall has been good. All relevant brands and all relevant customers are coming here, and they get an opportunity to see the new collections and launches from the mills. We have also displayed our fashion range and our new product launch, for which the responses have been good, and people have liked our range. They have been coming, and I hope that next year also people will come and enjoy the show. Every time we have been receiving positive feedback from the customers, which has encouraged us to participate in the show regularly.”
Sudeep Mittal, Director, PSK Denim, “We have participated in Gartex Texprocess India in Mumbai and here in Delhi it is our second edition. We are feeling very good due to the exposure we have received. In terms of buyers, people are coming in and understanding what we offer, so I believe this is a really good platform and the reason why we are exhibiting is so that we can filter our market and we can gain the right buyers.”
Business conversations on the show floor extended into Gartex Texprocess Talks and Denim Talks, where industry experts, technology innovators and thought leaders explored the ideas, technologies and market shifts shaping the future of textile and denim manufacturing. The sessions led to meaningful dialogues on AI, sustainability, digital transformation, evolving consumer expectations and global competitiveness, offering practical insights for businesses navigating an increasingly dynamic manufacturing landscape.
