Bharat Tex 2026 App Launched to Enhance Digital Experience for Global Textile Stakeholders

The Bharat Tex 2026 Mobile App, unveiled by Textiles Secretary Neelam Shami Rao, provides a unified digital platform for buyers, delegates, exhibitors, and visitors. Featuring an AI assistant, networking modules, lead capture, and smart venue navigation, the app aims to streamline participation and foster global textile sourcing at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi.

The Ministry of Textiles has launched the official Bharat Tex 2026 Mobile App, aimed at delivering a seamless and technology-driven experience for participants attending India's largest global textile event, Bharat Tex 2026.

Textiles Secretary Neelam Shami Rao launched the app on Thursday, describing it as a unified digital platform designed for buyers, international delegates, exhibitors, sourcing consultants, speakers, partners and visitors participating in the mega textile expo. Scheduled to be held from July 14 to 17, 2026 at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, Bharat Tex 2026 is expected to witness participation from over 7,000 international buyers and more than 1.3 lakh trade visitors from across the global textile ecosystem.

The Bharat Tex 2026 App has been developed as a comprehensive digital companion to simplify event participation and business networking. The platform will allow registered users to access event information, explore exhibitors, schedule business meetings, navigate the venue, receive real-time updates and participate in knowledge sessions through a single interface.

One of the key highlights of the app is its AI Smart Assistant, a 24x7 conversational support feature designed to help attendees with event-related queries. Users can ask questions in simple language regarding schedules, venue navigation, directions and other event details, making the experience more convenient for both domestic and international participants.

Business networking and lead generation features

The app also focuses on structured business engagement by offering networking and meeting modules. Exhibitors, buyers and delegates will be able to discover relevant business partners, schedule meetings, manage availability and track confirmed interactions. In addition, the app includes a Lead Wallet and QR-based lead capture feature, enabling exhibitors to scan digital badges and store structured contact information for future business follow-ups.

Smart navigation and exhibitor discovery

To improve visitor convenience, the app will provide advanced navigation support across Bharat Mandapam. Participants can access floor plans, search booths, locate companies and receive stall-level directions within the venue.

Global buyers and trade visitors will also benefit from the exhibitor discovery module, which allows users to search and filter exhibitors by company name, product category and exhibitor type. This is expected to facilitate focused sourcing and targeted business interactions throughout the textile value chain.

Live agenda and knowledge sessions

The platform will also provide access to the live event agenda and conference sessions. Users can create personalised schedules and receive alerts about upcoming discussions, policy dialogues and industry sessions planned during the event.

Bharat Tex 2026 to showcase India's integrated textile ecosystem

Bharat Tex 2026 is being organised by the Bharat Tex Trade Federation, a consortium of 11 textile Export Promotion Councils and industry bodies, with support from the Ministry of Textiles.

Inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 5F vision - Farm to Fibre to Factory to Fashion to Foreign - the event aims to position India as a reliable, sustainable and innovation-led global textile sourcing and investment destination.

The event will showcase the complete textile value chain, including fibres, yarns, fabrics, apparel, home textiles, technical textiles, handlooms, handicrafts, sustainable textiles and intelligent manufacturing technologies.
