Bharat Tex (Global Textiles Expo)
Bharat Tex is India's flagship global textiles trade fair, built on Prime Minister Modi's 5F value-chain idea (Farm, Fibre, Factory, Fashion and Foreign). Its third edition ran 14-17 July 2026 at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, convened by the Bharat Tex Trade Federation with Ministry of Textiles support and opened by Union Textiles Minister Giriraj Singh. Through its first three days the expo turned into a headline business event, drawing 1,647 exhibitors and 11,315 buyers from 138 countries and catalysing roughly Rs 14,300 crore in investment commitments alongside more than 28,500 buyer-seller meetings. In Paris on 2 September 2026 the federation signed a multi-year memorandum of understanding with Première Vision SA, France's premium fashion and sourcing platform.
