Textiles, Government of India, stated: “For India to truly become a global player in this vibrant sector, we need to see a huge paradigm shift in the field of R&D and innovation and much less dependency on the imports of high-performance fibers with manufacturing accelerating domestically. I do believe that professional platforms like Techtextil India do contribute significantly towards the growth of the industry, where in one place, trade fair visitors will find global/domestic trends, products, and innovations along textile value chains.
With the much-anticipated growth of the industry, Techtextil India has garnered great impetus to receive much-valued support from the
