The 35th The Gujarat Garment Manufacturers Trade Show will boost business
Gujarat Garment Industries has emerged as a global hub at national-international level. In the fashion industries in the country, Ahmedabad comes after Delhi, Mumbai, so the manufactures of Gujarat are getting good orders. The Trade Fair is organized by The Gujarat Garment Manufacturers Association to boost the trade which has been stalled for a long time. Buyers from other cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Calcutta, Ludhiana, Kerala and Chennai are likely to attend this trade fair in large numbers and book orders for the next five to six months. By organizing this trade fair, the industry, which has been in a recession for a long time, will be able to get relief.
