However, in preparation for the upcoming vaccination drives, mega facilities such as NESCO (Bombay Exhibition Centre, in Goregaon) is expected to be restructured as a state-run vaccination centre. This makes the venue inaccessible for large-scale trade shows in the month of March. In view of the recent developments, the organisers, Messe Frankfurt Trade Fairs India and MEX Exhibitions, have had to act swiftly to reschedule the launch of its upcoming fair Gartex Texprocess India which was scheduled to open its doors in Mumbai, this March, Messe Frankfurt said.On account of the developments around the COVID-19 vaccine roll out plan which has seen COVID care centres doubling up as vaccination centres, the Mumbai editions of Gartex Texprocess India and Screen Print India scheduled at the Bombay Exhibition Centre in March have been pushed ahead.
