The Show had over fifty stalls of Indian suppliers displaying yarns, fabrics and home textiles while international buyers from over twenty countries invited by Texprocil visited the Show. Over 90 percent of all visitors and exhibitors were very happy and satisfied with their participation in the trade show expressing an interest to repeat their representation at the next edition of Ind-Texpo.
