Latest technologies to mark ITMACH India 2019

This edition of ITMACH India will be vital for the textile industry, especially in the Asian region, being the first large scale show in India, just about six months after ITMA 2019, in Barcelona, said K AND D ITMACH Expositions, organiser of ITMACH India.

"This edition is expected to be a bigger show, with more than 500 exhibitors, compared to 350 exhibitors in the last edition in 2017. This time too, a lot of the latest technologies will be on display. A number of important players in the textile engineering industry have already signed up as exhibitors," added the organiser.

The Indian textile industry is going through a restructuring phase. Investments in spinning are expected to slow down for the next couple of years. The decentralised weaving sector, which manufactures around 65-70 per cent of the fabric in the country, is upgrading its obsolete technologies. Processing continues to remain a challenge for the industry, and zero liquid discharge is a solution for this polluting segment. Garmenting too needs to pick up, to cater to the growing domestic and global demand. Labour availability and costs are another obstacle to growth and profits of the industry, explained K AND D ITMACH Expositions.

Given this background, the industry will continue to invest in technologies that offer better quality, productivity, automation, sustainability. Moreover, with many states offering a number of incentives to the textile and apparel industry, investments in the right products and technologies will go up.

ITMACH India, as always, will attract genuine buyers and visitors from across the country, keeping exhibitors busy through the four days of the show, said the organiser. (RR)
