Indore garment makers partner with CMAI for growth

In a bid to bolster their capabilities and penetrate new markets, garment manufacturers in Indore have forged a strategic alliance with the Clothing Manufacturers Association of India (CMAI). With a burgeoning market valued at over Rs 1000 crore, Indore's ready-made garment sector, boasting of over 1000 manufacturers, is primed to elevate its brand presence both domestically and internationally.

Underlining this collaboration, the Readymade Textile Dealers Association recently inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with CMAI in the presence of 200 industry stakeholders. Rahul Mehta, Chief Mentor of CMAI, emphasized Indore's prominence as a manufacturing hub, particularly in children's wear, highlighting its rapid growth potential within the broader industry landscape.

Mehta underscored CMAI's commitment to nurturing regional industries, facilitating their evolution in line with contemporary trends and market demands. The partnership aims to empower Indore's garment manufacturers by providing avenues for enhancement, skill development, and access to untapped markets.

Ashish Nigam, President of the Readymade Textile Dealers Association, hailed the collaboration as a transformative milestone for Indore's garment sector. With a membership base of 2,200 manufacturers, Nigam anticipates that the partnership will facilitate their exposure to national and international buyers through prominent platforms and events.

While Indore's participation in exports currently remains modest, industry insiders foresee a significant uptick propelled by advancements in quality and skill development. The collaboration sets the stage for Indore's garment manufacturers to carve a niche in the global market, heralding a new era of growth and opportunity.
