Autumn Fair 2025 to return with a dedicated Indian Pavilion

12 August 2025, Mumbai 

A leading UK event for Home, Gift, and Fashion, Autumn Fair will return to the NEC Birmingham from September 7–10, 2025 with a dedicated Indian Pavilion to celebrate the vibrant craftsmanship and innovation of Indian design and manufacturing.

In collaboration with India’s primary trade promotion body, Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO), the fair will host 20 carefully selected Indian exhibitors. These businesses will showcase a curated collection of homeware, lifestyle products, textiles, gifts, and fashion accessories. A strategic part of India’s internationalization strategy, this initiative aims to connect these companies with UK and European buyers and promote global trade.

The introduction of the Indian Pavilion is particularly timely, following the signing of a landmark UK and India Free Trade Agreement (FTA). This agreement is expected to significantly reduce trade barriers and has the potential to double bilateral trade to $120 billion by 2030. The pavilion will give buyers exclusive access to new-to-market products, ethical production methods, and innovative design from India, a country that is rapidly becoming a key sourcing hub.

Vineet Arora, Deputy Director. FIEO, highlights, participation, under the ‘Brands from India’ banner, will showcase India’s diverse export capabilities and global competitiveness. Nihat Berktas, Head - International Development for Retail & Fashion, Hyve Group, notes, this is the first official participation from India since the FTA was announced and that they anticipate even more Indian brands will join both the Spring and Autumn Fairs in the future.

The pavilion will feature a diverse array of companies, including Agnes Bags and Gloster Limited with eco-friendly products, Neela Home & Prakash Cotton Mills with home furnishings, and Arnika Fashion with luxurious handloom sarees. Other exhibitors include Priniv with sustainable wooden toys, Chopra Musicals with nautical décor, and Haida Tribal Ayurvedic and Handicrafts offering authentic Ayurvedic products. The lineup also includes fashion, jewelry, and lifestyle products from a variety of other businesses, further strengthening India’s presence at the fair.
