About 250 companies participated in India’s flagship textile event Bharat Tex 2025 through Man made Fibre and Technical Textiles Export Promotion Council (MATEXIL), and about 370 foreign buyers from different countries had visited the event on the invitations and arrangements made by the council.

“While India has got its strength in cotton, it is making rapid progress in the Manmade Fibre Textiles,” said Bhadresh Dodhia, Chairman of MATEXIL, adding that the industry is ready to invest to meet the growing demand for man made fibres.
However, he said that textile recycling will need investments.


India’s technical textile sector is growing and the size of the domestic market has increased to about $22 billion. Dodhia said
that MATEXIL has put in place a vision and an Action Plan to increase exports of technical textiles and is engaging closely with the manufacturers and exporters.
