Hosted by the Clothing Manufacturers Association of India (CMAI), the 3rd North India Garment Fair (NIGF 2025) concluded on a highly successful note at the Yashobhoomi New Delhi Exhibition Centre from November 25-27, 2025. The event surpassed expectations, bringing together more than 125 exhibitors showcasing a wide range of menswear, womenswear, and kidswear.
NIGF 2025 proved to be a critical platform for boosting market access for MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises), helping them launch new collections ahead of the important festive season and forge new business collaborations. The fair successfully attracted leading garment manufacturers and brands from major apparel hubs nationwide, including Mumbai, Surat, Tirupur, and the Delhi/NCR region.
A significant highlight was the attendance of over 2,800 trade buyers during the three-day event. For the first time, a dedicated pavilion featured select manufacturers from Tirupur, whose participation received an outstanding response. This inclusion underscored the increasing collaboration between North and South Indian garment centers, reflecting current shifts in domestic sourcing and distribution patterns.
Santosh Katariya, President, CMAI, stated, the successful conclusion of the 3rd NIGF highlights the association’s objective to increase the footprint of domestic garment manufacturers in the Northern region and strengthen retail supply networks. By addressing market demand through such focused events, the association remains committed to supporting MSME businesses with growth opportunities in unexplored markets.
