CMAI Announces First Virtual NGF

The 71st NGF which will be held Online from September 10 to September 20, 2020, will be Launched by Hon'ble Textile Minister Smt Smriti Zubin Irani

The National Garment Fairs conducted by CMAI (Clothing Manufacturers Association of India) have, over the last several decades, become one of the most important events in the calendar of the Domestic Garment Industry. Innumerable brands have been launched during the NGFs (as they are popularly called), and Manufacturers plan their production around the dates of the NGFs, as do Retailers their Buying for the Season.

The current Covid-19 crisis makes the holding of events of the size and scale of NGFs impossible. With travel between cities, the interaction between Manufacturers and Retailers, and distribution of Samples across various centers becoming an extremely difficult if not viable option, CMAI has come up with the unique concept of a Virtual Fair, where Buyers and Sellers would meet digitally to showcase the samples from their Offices, Showrooms, and Homes.

In what should be the first Digital Fair in the Domestic Garment Industry, CMAI’s 71st National Garment Fair – ONLINE, will be held from September 10 to September 20, 2020. The 71st NGF will have over 250 participants, and about 20,000 Retailers are expected to visit the Fair Digitally.
