Spanning approximately 700,000 sq. ft. at the Bombay Exhibition Centre, the fair was held from January 20 to 22, 2026, bringing together the industry under one expansive platform.
The 82nd Edition of the National Garment Fair (NGF) Spring-Summer Edition, organised by the Clothing Manufacturers Association of India (CMAI), successfully concluded in Mumbai after a dynamic three-day run. The 82nd NGF was held between January 20-22, 2026, at the Bombay Exhibition Centre (NESCO), Goregaon East, Mumbai.
The Guests of Honour at the fair include Shri Ashish Kewalramani of Ashish NX, Nagpur, and Shri Ganesh Narayan Beria of Nagarmal Sheonarain & Sons, Arrah, Bihar. Dignitaries present at the inauguration included Santosh Katariya, President, CMAI; Rahul Mehta, Chief Mentor, CMAI; Rohit Munjal, Vice President and Chairman of the Fair Committee; Naveen Sainani – Hon. Gen. Secretary; Paresh Vora, Hon Treasurer; Mukesh Jain, Hon Jt Gen Secretary; Dinesh Nandu, Hon Jt Treasurer; among others.
The event witnessed over 24,000 trade visitors, including national and regional retailers, distributors, and wholesalers, driving strong business engagements that signal a promising retail season ahead.
The event was inaugurated by Shri Rohit Kansal, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Textiles, Government of India, to encourage the Apparel Industry. He said, “If an event has stayed on for eight decades, it must be adding value to all its participants. That alone is an adequate reason to compliment the CMAI, the participants, and the entire domestic sector, which you all represent. With domestic consumption growing at 7–8 per cent annually, the prospects for the domestic sector remain extremely bright. At the same time, as the global economy undergoes rapid change, competitiveness will increasingly depend on formalisation, technology adoption, productivity, sustainability, and speed to market. The Government and the Ministry of Textiles remain fully aligned with the industry’s needs and committed to supporting MSMEs in scaling up and integrating into global value chains.”
“Strong participation from both brands and retailers has translated into meaningful commercial engagement, reinforcing the fair’s role in driving growth and industry collaboration,” said Santosh Katariya, President of CMAI. “The impressive business traction and healthy order volumes recorded at this edition reflect the sector’s inherent resilience and market confidence. Positive feedback from exhibitors further highlights the industry’s growth, setting a strong foundation for a dynamic and successful season ahead.”
“The National Garment Fair continues to witness exceptional enthusiasm from across the apparel industry, with every edition fully booked well in advance and strong demand from participating members,” shared Rohit Munjal, Vice President and Chairman of the Fair Committee of CMAI. “This sustained and growing engagement from manufacturers, brands, and buyers year after year reinforces NGF’s position as a trusted, high-impact platform. The depth and diversity of participation not only reflect the industry’s confidence in the Fair, but also make each edition stronger, more representative, and more relevant to the evolving needs of the apparel ecosystem.”
Spanning approximately 700,000 sq. ft. at the Bombay Exhibition, the fair hosted over 1085 brands across 1070 stalls. The diverse range of collections included Women's wear, Men's wear, Kids wear, and Accessories, highlighting the latest fashion trends and innovations for the upcoming Spring-Summer season.
