If sourcing or selling apparel connects to your business, there's one event you cannot skip — the India International Garment Fair (IIGF). For more than three decades, this fair has built itself into one of the most trusted platforms giving international buyers direct access to India's manufacturing base.

Two editions in 2026:

74th IIGF: 23–25 January 2026, Yashobhoomi, Dwarka, New Delhi — standalone garment fair, 300+ exhibitors, 70+ buyer nations

75th IIGF (within Bharat Tex 2026): 14–17 July 2026, Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi — merged into the 3rd Bharat Tex, with 1000+ leading exporters and buyer numbers expected to exceed prior editions

What buyers get that most fairs don't:

Complimentary hotel stay (up to 4 nights)

Complimentary breakfast + free Wi-Fi

Airport transfers and hotel-to-venue transport

Dedicated Buyer's Lounge for follow-up meetings

Pavilions covered: Women's Wear, Men's Wear, Kids' Wear, Knitwear, and Fashion Accessories — each organized so buyers can move straight to relevant categories.

The numbers behind the fair. The 75th edition alone lists 1000+ exporters, 1,400+ registered buyers, 500+ sourcing consultants, and 400+ participants. The 73rd edition drew 450+ Indian exhibitors and 1,000+ buyers from 70+ countries.

Why it matters now. Global apparel buyers are actively diversifying away from single-country dependency, and Indian manufacturers offer competitive pricing, a vast raw material base, and manufacturing capacity spanning mass-volume basics to detailed, design-heavy pieces.
