Wedoany.com Report-Dec.25, Techtextil India 2025, a leading trade fair for technical textiles, nonwovens, and composites, opened on 19 November 2025 in Mumbai. Organised by Messe Frankfurt Trade Fairs India, the three-day event served as a key platform for industry stakeholders.

Global brands converged at Techtextil India 2025 to explore sustainable solutions.

The fair attracted 9,144 visitors from 235 Indian cities and 45 countries, with the majority coming from Western India. It featured 216 exhibitors representing over 300 brands across 12 application areas, including mobility, healthcare, construction, filtration, protection, and sportswear.

The exhibition brought together fibre producers, converters, brand owners, end-users, industry associations, and state textile departments. It facilitated business connections and highlighted opportunities to drive investments in India's technical textiles sector.

Sustainability emerged as a central theme. Conference sessions addressed circular supply chains, advanced recycling techniques, bio-based materials, and resource-efficient manufacturing processes. These discussions aligned with efforts to develop environmentally responsible technologies and enhance high-value textile exports.

R Lalitha, IAS, Director of the Directorate of Textiles for the Tamil Nadu government, served as the guest of honour. She said: "Techtextil India 2025 weaves together leading innovators, policymakers and companies to frame appropriate policies for the growing industry. I believe that man-made fibres is the sunrise sector of the future. Concepts like sustainability and circularity will give rise to better technology that could help speed up research and development in India."

The event also provided a stage for strategic announcements. Brawntex Industries revealed its partnership with Japan's Kurabo Industries, a specialist in fire-retardant fabrics. The collaboration focuses on military and industrial workwear, including applications for oil and gas, and iron and steel sectors.

Nitesh Mittal, founder and CEO of Brawntex Industries, said: "We will be representing Kurabo in India for military and industrial workwear such as oil & gas, iron & steel. We have been participating in Techtextil India for the past seven editions. The show has been amazing as the crowd here is targeting the business needs and the footfall has been great. We could meet our partners, customers and some new ones as well. I can summarise it by saying the expo has been incredible.”"

Exhibitors presented India-specific solutions for mobility, infrastructure, medical, hygiene, and protective applications. Products on display included speciality fabrics for firefighting suits, vehicle airbags, crop covers, and more.
