The Indian government meanwhile, is taking special initiatives such as setting up of special integrated textile parks, textile clusters, SEZs for textiles, apparel and other products. By allowing 100% foreign direct investment in the textile sector, it has opened up opportunities not only for Indian entrepreneurs but also for investors from abroad. Further rationalisation of the duty structure has given the much-desired boost to investments in the textile sector.
Amidst these spectacular developments, Heimtextil India is widely recognised as the main catalyst for many an Indian manufacturer's international business. The fair itself, is acknowledged as the region's most important textile event, emerging as a platform in great demand by all top-end manufacturers participating year after year.
It is a greater sourcing point not only in terms of premium quality & branding but also for competitive pricing. As the global trend setter providing impulses for the industry, Heimtextil India gives an early start to Indian manufacturers with its international trend show and seminars.
The fair in 2006 was an interesting mix of home textiles and innovative yarns & fibres and saw stable visitor numbers at 12,246 from Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East.
Heimtextil India 2007 will see new designs with improved levels of creativity in a trend oriented atmosphere that is perfect for business. The highlights of the fair are the International Trend Forum, seminars and innovative presentations.
Commenting on the future of the industry, Ms Shammi Nagpal, Managing Director of Messe Frankfurt India said “The future is bright and positive for anyone with a creative and innovative product of high quality. The global requirement of home textiles continues growing and India is strong enough to reach higher sales figures”.
