Cotton Textiles Export Promotion Council

Nine key trade bodies in India have collaboratively come up with a code of conduct that prohibits and prevents child labour in the textile sector, stressing on ethical sourcing, transparency, and accountability, enhancing brand reputation and contributing to the elimination of exploitative labour practices.

India’s indigenous Kasturi cotton is set for a push to establish it as a global brand and compete with global cotton names such as Supima and Giza.

The Indian government will hold Bharat Tex 2024 from 26–29 February 2024 in New Delhi as a consolidated and unique platform to position and showcase the country’s textile value chain and also highlight strengths in fashion, traditional crafts and sustainability initiatives.
