THE British Textile Machinery Association (BTMA), in collaboration with India ITME Society on Thursday formally launched the UK-India Textile Machinery Coalition (UKITMC) at the India ITME Centre in Mumbai, establishing a structured bilateral trade corridor between the United Kingdom and India’s textile machinery sectors. The initiative marks the first dedicated coalition of its kind focused exclusively on textile machinery collaboration between the two countries.

The launch was inaugurated by Vrunda Desai, Textile Commissioner of India, in the presence of Sujith Thomas from the Department for Business and Trade (DBT), British Deputy High Commission. Key attendees for the launch included UK DBT Trade Counsellor Mark Birrell, BTMA CEO Jason Kent, and India ITME Society Chairman Ketan Sanghvi.

The UKITMC is designed as a long-term platform to connect Indian textile manufacturers with advanced UK machinery and technology providers. It aims to facilitate technology transfer, encourage joint partnerships, and accelerate the adoption of automation, digitalization, and sustainable manufacturing practices across India’s textile value chain.
