The exhibition will feature a wide spectrum of technologies, including sewing and embroidery machines, cutting, spreading and laying equipment, digital textile printing systems, CAD/CAM software, dyeing, finishing and laundry technologies, testing equipment and quality control solutions. Live demonstrations and technology launches will help manufacturers evaluate innovations that improve efficiency, quality and cost optimisation.

Commenting on the industry outlook, Dr. Rakesh Kumar said that the Indian garment industry is witnessing increasing momentum in technology adoption, driven by infrastructure development, policy support and growing global demand. Platforms such as GTE provide manufacturers with the opportunity to explore advanced solutions and strengthen their competitiveness in international markets. GTE is about empowering Indian factories with the right technologies and insights to enhance productivity, improve quality and remain competitive on a global stage.

Shri Inderjit Singh Sahni, Founder & Managing Director, Garment Technology Expo (GTE), shared his thoughts, saying,“When Garment Technology Expo was conceived in 2001, the vision was clear—to bring world-class garment manufacturing technology within India’s reach. At a time when discovering the latest innovations meant travelling overseas, GTE created a trusted platform where global technology leaders could showcase their solutions live for Indian manufacturers. GTE has steadily evolved over the years. What began as a machinery-focused exhibition has today transformed into a comprehensive industry platform. Our focus now goes beyond showcasing equipment—we aim to enable automation, sustainability, digitalisation and future-ready manufacturing.

Echoing this perspective, Rathi Sahni highlighted that rapid advancements in automation, digitalisation and smart production technologies are redefining garment manufacturing. She noted that GTE 2026 will serve as a crucial meeting point where manufacturers can discover innovations, connect with technology providers and prepare their businesses for the next phase of industry growth. As the industry continues to evolve, GTE remains committed to driving this transformation and supporting the growth of a stronger, smarter and more resilient garment manufacturing ecosystem.

Jointly organised by Garment Technology Expo and India Exposition Mart Ltd., GTE 2026 offers a world-class platform for garment manufacturers, exporters, buying houses and sourcing professionals to connect with global technology leaders.
