Textile World Asia Special Report
T
he 8th India International Textile Machinery Exhibition (India ITME 2008) will take place
November 15-22 at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC). Organized by the India ITME
Society, the exhibition has been held every four years since 1980 and is the largest textile
machinery exhibition in India.
Supporting the India ITME Society in its efforts to put on the exhibition are the Textile Machinery Manufacturers' Association (India) (TMMA), the Indian Textile Accessories and Machinery Manufacturers' Association (ITAMMA), the Confederation of Indian Textile Industry, The Textile Association (India) and the Bureau of Indian Standards.
As noted by India ITME Society Chairman Sanjay Jayavarthanavelu, the textile industry has demonstrated resilience over the years since India ITME 2004, with substantial growth in global capacity related to spindles, open-end rotors, shuttle and shuttleless looms, and finishing. A geographic shift within the global industry has benefited textile manufacturers in India, China, Pakistan, Indonesia, Thailand, Bangladesh, Turkey and other developing countries the society has targeted in its promotional efforts.
Organizers expect some 900 exhibitors, including 500 from India and 400 from more than 30 countries abroad, will show their products and services to more than 125,000 visitors during India ITME 2008. These totals would eclipse the previous show's 748 exhibitors and 120,000 visitors and continue the steady growth in participation since the inaugural India ITME, which featured offerings from 124 exhibitors and attracted 25,000 visitors. According to the India ITME Society, registered exhibitors include all the major textile machinery, parts and accessory manufacturers in India as well as all the major textile technology suppliers from abroad.

The exhibition will offer newly manufactured textile machinery and accessories in addition to related products and services including:
• spinning preparation, man-made fiber production, spinning, winding, texturing, twisting, and auxiliary machinery and accessories;
• nonwovens and felting web formation, bonding and finishing, and technical textiles-related machinery and accessories;
• weaving preparatory, weaving, tufting and auxiliary machinery and accessories;
• knitting and hosiery and auxiliary machinery and accessories;
• washing, bleaching, dyeing, printing, drying, finishing, make-up and auxiliary machinery and accessories;
• embroidery and braiding machinery and accessories;
• machinery and accessories for the making-up industry;
• testing and measuring equipment;
• transport, handling, storing and packing equipment;
• recycling, waste-reduction and pollution-prevention equipment and accessories;
• design, data-monitoring, processing and integrated production software;
• textile industry-related goods and services; and
• technical information sources.
India ITME 2008 will provide visitors with opportunities to learn about the latest technological developments in textile machinery. In addition to seminars and conferences organized by TMMA, ITAMMA and The Textile Association, certain exhibitors will make special presentations of their newest technologies; and live machinery demonstrations will be scheduled during the course of the exhibition.
India ITME 2004, held at the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Mumbai, featured 748 exhibitors.
BIEC: A New Location
BIEC is a new venue for India ITME, which was held in Mumbai at the Bombay Exhibition Centre for the four previous editions. The new Bangalore center offers state-of-the-art facilities including 40,000 square meters of exhibition space in three halls in addition to other facilities located on a 40-acre campus near Bangalore's Peenya industrial township. It is the first "green project" of such a size in India, featuring building design that takes advantage of natural lighting for most daytime lighting needs, a vast rainwater-harvesting system, water-based adiabatic cooling and a chlorofluorocarbon-free air-conditioning system, and inclusion of 50-percent waste material in the form of fly ash in the concrete mix used in the center's construction, among other eco-friendly features. It also features the latest high-tech equipment and support services for conferences and business-to-business events.
The city of Bangalore, capital of the state of Karnataka in southern India, is the most prosperous and third-largest city in the country, with a population of more than 7 million, and a major center of high-tech activity - particularly information technology, on account of which it is known as the Silicon Valley of India. But in addition, it is important as a center of garment manufacturing and, thus, also has been dubbed the garment capital of India and the fashion capital of the East. Just this summer, the government of Karnataka proposed the building of 11 textile parks throughout the state - including a 50-acre high-tech weaving park in Bangalore - in order to further the growth of the textile industry in the state.

印度ITME2004在慕迪拜的孟买展览中心举行，有748个参展商。
BIEC: 新的选址
India ITME之前四届均于孟买展览中心 (Bombay Exhibition Centre) 举行，今年首度移师 BIEC。这座全新的班加罗尔展览中心拥有尖端设备，三 个展馆共提供4万平方米展出面积；另又于班加罗尔Peenya 工业区附近设有40英亩的校园设施。展馆也是印度最大规模的"绿色项目"，具有多项环保功能，例如建筑物充分运用天然光，作为日间主要的光源；大 型的雨水收集系统；水冷与不含CFC的空调系统；以及采用含有50%飞尘废料合成的混凝土作为建造原材料等。此外，中心内又设有最先进的高科技设备，以为各项研讨会及商业活动提供服务。
班加罗尔是南印度省分卡纳塔克邦的首府，是印度第三大城市。班加罗尔发展蓬勃，人口超逾7百万，为国内的高科技活动中心，其中尤以信息科技为要，因此亦称为[印度的硅谷]。同时，该 市亦是国内的成衣制造中心，故又称为印度成衣中心及东方时装中心。 卡纳塔克邦省更于这个夏天，建议于省内兴建11个纺织园，其中包括于班加罗尔建造广达50亩的高科技织造园地，以进一步促进省内纺织业的发展。
