Khadi products lure visitors at Trade Fair in Delhi
New
Delhi: Khadi stall at the ongoing 'India International
Trade Fair 'in New Delhi is making brisk business by selling
products made from fabrics produced in villages. Exhibitors
from various parts of the country have put up stalls to
display various khadi items like shirts, sarees, bags
and soaps. The exhibitors are happy being a part of the
fair as they are earning good revenue. "I have come here
for the first time. Cotton Khadi shirts are selling well.
We have designed new patterns in Khadi shirts, ladies
suits, ladies tops and kurta-pajama. We have good designs.
I feel good about coming here. The sale is very good,"
said Anuman Prasad, an exhibitor, Dausa, Rajasthan. According
to Anumeha Gupta, an exhibitor from Mumbai, the khadi
products already have a market for themselves, which makes
it easier for the sellers to sell their products everywhere.
"Customers' response is good. People are convinced about
the quality and customers are quite educated in Delhi.
I can say they are quite discerning, they ask about the
actual use of the product and a lot of things. They are
no longer too price conscious," she added. variety of
khadi products displayed on stalls have caught the fancy
of visitors with their uniqueness and eco-friendly nature.
"Khadi products are always good. I buy khadi products
otherwise also and it's really very good," said Savita,
a visitor. The fair provides a platform for trade promotion
and facilitates interaction between close to 7,500 national
and international business persons and organisations.
