Bharat Tex 2026, touted as the world’s largest integrated event for the textile value chain, has drawn flak from some exporters. They argued that the event does not give adequate focus to exporters.
This year, the government merged the summer edition of the India International Garment Fair (IIGF) with Bharat Tex, which is running from July 14-17 at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi. Exporters said that the standalone IIGF, dedicated to connecting them with international buyers, was more effective in generating business and export orders. This year’s event placed exporters with retailers together under one roof, which some exporters claim is taking focus away from them.
