NEW DELHI, JULY 16, 2026: THE second day of Bharat Tex 2026 placed a strong focus on state-led growth, investment opportunities and India's expanding textile trade partnerships with global markets. The programme for the day brought together State Governments, policymakers, industry representatives and trade experts to discuss measures to strengthen manufacturing, attract investment and improve the global competitiveness of India's textile and apparel sector.

A key highlight of the day was the Uttar Pradesh State Session, organised by the Government of Uttar Pradesh.

The discussion showcased the State's potential in technical textiles and its position as an important destination for technology-led manufacturing and investment. It also underlined the growing importance of high-performance and specialised textile products in supporting India's industrial development.

Global trade and Free Trade Agreements formed another important part of the Day 2 programme. The session titled "Scaling Through Synergy: Building Local Capability to Power Global Textile Value Chains" by ITMF & ASSOCHAM focused on strengthening domestic capabilities and connecting Indian enterprises more effectively with international textile value chains. The roundtable titled "India's FTA Moment: Gateway for Textile Value Chains, Market Access and Sourcing Decisions" by Deloitte examined how India's Free Trade Agreements could create new opportunities for textile and apparel manufacturers, exporters and sourcing organisations.

The session titled "Beyond China: Building Tariff-Safe, Compliant & Traceable Hemp Supply Chains for Global Markets" by Heartland Industries addressed the need for diversified and dependable supply chains. It highlighted the importance of tariff preparedness, compliance and traceability in enabling Indian businesses to serve global markets with greater confidence.  Also, CITI Textile Sustainability Awards 2026, takes place, recognising responsible business practices across seven focus areas: Resource Efficiency, Energy & Emissions, Circular Economy, Sustainable Materials, Social Responsibility, Responsible Business and Industry Collaboration.
