The Textile Secretary said the application has been specifically designed to understand the interests of buyers and automatically match them with relevant suppliers. According to her, this intelligent matchmaking system will significantly enhance networking opportunities and facilitate stronger business interactions throughout the Bharat Tex event.

Ms Rao said Bharat Tex 2026 will present a comprehensive picture of India’s growing strength in the textile sector, with a special focus on sustainability initiatives, recycling capabilities and the adoption of cutting-edge technologies, including artificial intelligence. She added that the event will underline India’s commitment to innovation and its emergence as a global leader in responsible and technology-driven textile manufacturing.

Highlighting the scale of international participation, Ms Rao said more than 72 countries have already registered for the exhibition, reflecting strong global interest in India’s textile industry and its expanding role in international supply chains.

A dedicated Artificial Intelligence Zone will also be established at the expo to demonstrate how advanced digital technologies can support manufacturers in improving efficiency, innovation and competitiveness.

With extensive international participation, advanced technology showcases and a strong emphasis on sustainable manufacturing, Bharat Tex 2026 is set to become a landmark event that reinforces India’s position as a global textile powerhouse and a key destination for innovation, investment and international trade.
