We are pleased to notify you that, in order to promote Indian textile, handloom, and handicraft products in the Middle East market, the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI) plans to host the 2nd edition of HATHKARGHA 2024 and a visit to Dubai, an exclusive Textile, Handloom & Handicraft Products Showcase & Buyer-Seller Meet in Dubai from December 11–13, 2024, in collaboration with the Embassy of India, Abu Dhabi, UAE, and the Consulate General of India, Dubai.
India is one of the biggest manufacturers of clothing and textiles worldwide.

India accounts for 4% of the world’s textile and clothing trade. India exports handloom goods to over 20 nations worldwide. The United States, United Arab Emirates, Spain, the United Kingdom, Italy, Australia, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Greece are among the leading importers.

US$12.72 million was exported to the United Arab Emirates, which at the time was the second-largest importer of Indian handlooms.
