The 37th edition of the Garment Technology Expo (GTE) 2024 will take place from February 12–15, 2025, at the India Expo Centre and Mart, Greater Noida.
As South Asia’s most comprehensive garment technology exhibition, GTE showcases everything related to garment manufacturing. It serves as the premier platform for introducing innovations, technology upgrades, new materials, processes, and services in the garment and knitting industries across India. This year, GTE will be co-located with Bharat Tex.
Bharat Tex 2025 is a global textile event organized by the Textile Export Promotion Councils (EPCS) and supported by the Ministry of Textiles. The mega event will run from February 14–17, 2025, at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, and the India Expo Centre and Mart, Greater Noida. Bharat Tex is positioned as a global textile trade fair that highlights India’s capabilities as a leading textile manufacturing hub, covering the entire value chain—from raw materials to finished products.
During the curtain-raising event, Inderjit S. Sahni, Chairman of the Garment Technology Expo, said,
“As we celebrate our 25th anniversary with the GTE Delhi edition, I want to thank our valued partners for their unwavering faith and support, which have propelled us to new heights. We deeply appreciate your trust, and our team is committed to exceeding your expectations in the years to come.”

This enables Indian manufacturers to produce world-class, high-quality products and compete with countries like China, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.”
