CMAI Postpones NIGF Delhi Amid Border Conflict
The Clothing Manufacturers Association of India (CMAI) has postponed the 3rd North India Garment Fair (NIGF), which was originally scheduled for May 27–29, 2025, at Yashobhoomi Convention Centre (IICC), Dwarka, New Delhi.
The decision follows the recent border tensions with Pakistan, particularly affecting Northern India, leading to concerns among exhibitors and buyers. CMAI President Santosh Katariya stated that while this was a difficult decision, it was made after thorough consultation with stakeholders, considering both market sentiment and safety concerns.
'This is a postponement—not a cancellation,' Katariya clarified, emphasizing that the fair will be rescheduled and CMAI remains committed to hosting it at a more appropriate time.
The association reaffirmed its dedication to supporting garment industry stakeholders and will announce revised dates soon.
