The week-long programmes will be inaugurated virtually by India’s Minister of State for Textiles, Darshana V Jardosh.

She noted that the textile week presents an immense opportunity for global investors and buyers. “Indian textile is world-renowned as it not only represents country’s glittering past but also matches up to the demands of modern times.”

The textile industry is India’s largest employer. It employs 45 million workers. India’s foreign direct investment allows 100 percent investment under the automatic route in the entire textile value chain.

A high-level delegation led by India’s Additional Secretary in the Ministry of Textiles, Vijoy Kumar Singh, will be at the India Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai throughout the designated week to meet global business federations, industry chambers and to explore potential business tie-ups through investor connect programmes and roundtable discussions.
