Extending strong support to the platform and highlighting the Ministry’s approach to incentivise local innovation, Vijoy Kumar Singh, additional secretary, ministry of textiles, said, “I am glad to know that Messe Frankfurt India and MEX Exhibition are organising the first edition of Gartex Texprocess India 2022 in the financial capital of India after successfully hosting the show in Delhi last year. I had an opportunity to inaugurate the Delhi edition and visited the exhibition in person after such a long time of pandemic which stalled all the activities globally. We need to be careful but at the same time push economic activity in light of employment creation and development. It has been our experience that the textiles industry is majorly dependent on imported machines. There is a need to make most of the machines manufactured in India particularly in light of current disruption of world logistics services. We in the ministry of textiles are currently formulating a scheme for incentivising manufacturing of textiles machinery in India. The approach is to incentivise local innovation and at the same time invite eminent manufacturers to set up ventures locally.”
Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC), Retailers Association of India (RAI), Denim Manufacturers’ Association (DMA) and the Gujarat Garment Manufacturers’ Association (GGMA) are among the other top industry bodies extending support to the three-day exhibition.
India’s leading B2B exhibition for denim, Denim Show 2022 will be held in Mumbai for the very first time and aims to showcase innovative, fashionable and sustainable trends in the world of denim.

The Denim Show and the Indigo World have also collaborated with artisans from Adiv Pure under the expert guidance of Rupa Trivedi.

Through this workshop, Neelpath aims at bringing a change in the lifestyle of the people and help them go natural and ethical for a more sustainable future through this precious dye.
They have carefully curated an experience where one can dye a piece of fabric by dipping it into a vat of natural indigo dye with their own hands. This shall not just educate one about the extraction of natural indigo, the preparation of indigo vats and the process of dying the fabric, but also witness and the surreal transformation the fabric undergoes once taken out of the vat.
For the very first time in India, topics like flash dyeing of indigo, Digital manufacturing and bio dyeing and Sustainability initiative by Levi Strauss will be discussed at ‘Denim Talks’ that is scheduled on May 13. The one-day conference will play an incredible role in highlighting technical innovations & ‘green’ initiatives in the denim manufacturing sector by uniting denim industry stakeholders and thought leaders under a common platform.
Evolving fashion trends demand variety in every aspect of garmenting.
