Business orders and enquiries worth $50 million have been generated at textiles and apparel fair Vastra, which was held from September 21-24 at Jaipur, said Rajasthan Industries Minister Rajpal Singh Shekhawat at the valedictory session of the event.
Shekhawat said, the business-to-consumers segment of the event, gave an opportunity to consumers to buy the products and have a look at the new trends. Exhibitors participating in the fair said that buyers’ interest in the event this year is much better than last year.
â€ÂAs many as 2,000 buyer-seller meetings have been held. The large participation of overseas buyers and exhibitors has indeed been a gratifying experience,†said Mugdha Sinha, managing director of RIICO. She said that the event, organised jointly by RIICO and FICCI, has been a huge success not only in terms of generating business queries but also in terms of networking among the designers, garment manufactures, apparel exporters, and buyers.
