This event will help in realising the dream of the Prime Minister to make India a manufacturing hub.” Noida is the show window of Uttar Pradesh and the government is always ready to provide a very conducive environment for business growth in this city of Apparels, he added.
 
Addressing the gathering Shri Mithileshwar Thakur said, “The Bharat Tex Expo 2024 will be the biggest textiles show on the globe with 3500 plus exhibitors cutting across the entire textiles value chain, 3000 plus reputed international buyers and 40000 plus domestic buyers.  It will truly be the best possible platform to showcase the true potential of textiles trade.” Shri Thakur appealed to the exporters to take advantage of this remarkable opportunity to connect with all major stakeholders of textiles from across the world.
 
Further Shri Thakur remarked, “India presents a unique strength in the Textiles and Garment sector having abundance of raw material being one of the top producers of cotton, silk, jute, polyester, viscose, nylon and acrylic and a complete value chain in each fibre.  Despite these inherent advantages, India for a variety of reasons missed the opportunity to occupy the place of prominence in the Apparel export domain.  We somehow did not capitalize upon our strength adequately and market our strength well to the rest of the world. Bharat Tex Expo 2024 will plug this gap by showcasing our strength and by projecting India as the preferred sourcing destination. It will ensure India its due place in terms of branding and positioning which has been waiting for a long time.”

The UP government has made Noida the city of apparel and has provided several matching facilities which has led to this business growth. Factories were allowed to work even during the Covid time.” He appealed to the Noida cluster exports to participate in huge numbers as many reputed international buyers have already registered to attend this grand show.
