In the joint efforts with Ministry of Textiles, the idea of holding Tex Trends is to showcase and leverage our strengths and complements our efforts to create India’s garment & textiles from fiber to fashion. The entire value chain has been brought under the ambit by organizing Tex Trends. Fiber, Fabric, Fashion, accessories, etc will be brought under the single platform for manufacturer, traders & exporters. It will act as an exclusive rostrum for brand promotion, networking and business opportunity for national and international textile industries to show its visibility of the entire textile Industry.

Against a backdrop of worrisome global and domestic macroeconomic developments, Chairman AEPC, pressed for 5% duty credit scrip for the import of specialty fabrics not available in India on actual user basis. And, separate chapter for exports in the banking sector for availability of easy credit to industry. These two demands have tremendous potential to boost exports.

AEPC, the largest Export Promotion Council has been entrusted the task of lead agency to organize this exhibition along with other Textile Export Promotion Councils.
