The leading show for cotton textiles and its blends, Ind-Texpo 2022 organised by The Cotton Textiles Export Promotion Council (Texprocil) came to a close on 26th August 2022 in Mumbai. The three day Reverse Buyer Seller Meet which was held at the World Trade Centre, Mumbai from 24 to 26 August 2022, provided international audience with an optimum setting and platform for exchanging information and strengthening business relationships.
The Show had over fifty stalls of Indian suppliers displaying yarns, fabrics and home textiles while international buyers from over twenty countries invited by Texprocil visited the Show. Over 90% of all visitors and exhibitors were very happy and satisfied with their participation in the trade show expressing an interest to repeat their representation at the next edition of Ind-Texpo.
Manoj Patodia, Chairman, said that feedback from both the exhibitors and visitors showed that orders booked on-site at the three day event were about $ 6.4 million (approx Rs 51 crore) while future estimated orders which are in negotiation phase were about $ 58.7 million (approx Rs 470 crore). Given the current global market dynamics for cotton textiles, the order booking position at Ind-Texpo was a reflection of encouraging business prospects in the coming months, he added.

Prior to the inauguration, the Secretary held a closed room interaction with 15 international buyers from 12 countries to understand global market conditions in their respective countries.
