The president of the Clothing Manufacturers Association of India (CMAI), Rajesh Masand, stated of the domestic garment market, “The apparel industry is optimistic about the upcoming festive season.” The National Garment Fair not only displays the colorful and varied products of clothing businesses, but it also demonstrates the industry’s resiliency in the wake of two years of weak demand. Brands and manufacturers have an unmatched platform to present their newest collections and developments thanks to this NGF. NGF acts as a vital hub for merchants and buyers to source the best clothing as the nation gets ready for a festive season, guaranteeing that end users have access to a broad selection of fashionable products.”
Seerna Rajamouli, R S Brothers, remarked during the launch that the fashion industry is at the intriguing nexus of form and function. While it is true that customers require clothing, there is also a strong psychological component to what they wear and the methods the apparel industry persuades people to choose their brand over others. The fair has a pleasant spirit that astounds us, and the wide array of collections on display at both sites is impressive. Yes, for our in-person buying teams, this is the ideal sourcing tool.
“The 79th National Garment Fair is a testament to our commitment to present innovation, fashion, and trends which foster connections in the apparel industry,” stated Rohit Munjal, Vice President and Chairman of the NGF of the Clothing Manufacturers Association of India (CMAI), regarding the business prospects at the event.

We anticipate a great occasion that keeps creating opportunities and progress.
