CMAI to Host 3rd North India Garment Fair in New Delhi

Leading brands and retailers unite for NIGF 2025 to drive apparel business growth.

The Clothing Manufacturers Association of India is set to stage NIGF 2025 with 125+ exhibitors and thousands of buyers, strengthening North India’s apparel sourcing and retail ecosystem.

CMAI is preparing to host the 3rd North India Garment Fair (NIGF 2025) from 25th to 27th November 2025 in New Delhi, marking another major event for the region’s apparel industry. With more than 125 exhibitors and an expected footfall of over 5,000 trade visitors from Delhi/NCR, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, and several other states, the fair is set to deliver strong business momentum.

Scheduled at the modern Yashobhoomi Convention Centre in Dwarka, New Delhi, the fair’s third edition solidifies its growing significance for North India’s garment market. NIGF has become a key platform helping brands understand buyer preferences, assess demand trends, strengthen partnerships, expand distribution networks, and enhance the visibility of Indian apparel labels in one of the country’s most competitive retail landscapes.

This year’s edition will be inaugurated by some of North India’s most prominent retailers, including Ashutosh Gupta (Bindal Apparels, New Delhi); Naman Narang (Narang Garments, New Delhi); Ravindra Arora (Ravi Exclusif, Amritsar); Alok & Heramb Aggarwal (A to Z Kids House, Hisar); and Laxmikant Biyani (Sagar, Sikar).

Sharing insights about the event’s potential, Santosh Katariya, President, CMAI, stated, “The main aim of NIGF is to tap into the high-potential Northern market. It presents an unparallel opportunity for exhibitors to engage with buyers, discover brands, forge new partnerships and understand regional preferences. The introduction of a dedicated pavilion from Tirupur featuring more than 20 manufacturers will be a special attraction this year.”

A wide roster of well-known brands such as Watcher Shirts, Denis Parkar, Stil-O-Stitch, Scakhi, Juniper, Little Kangaroo, Kittens, along with many others from major apparel hubs including Mumbai, Surat, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Tirupur, Ludhiana, Kolkata, and Delhi/NCR, will showcase their newest collections.

For the first time, a dedicated pavilion featuring leading manufacturers from Tirupur, India’s renowned knitwear hub, will be introduced. Additionally, several key regional retailers who consistently attend the fair—such as Aristocrat Garments (Ludhiana), Suvidha Stores (Haryana), Stanmax (Delhi), and Yougal Sons (Jammu & Punjab)—are expected again this year.

Drawing the strongest retail network in North India, the fair serves as a vital hub for agents, distributors, and major retail formats. The upcoming edition will present an extensive mix of menswear, womenswear, and kidswear, offering unmatched sourcing, brand discovery, and networking opportunities for the region’s apparel ecosystem.
