The facility, established by Arvind Limited, is intended to strengthen India’s textile and apparel manufacturing ecosystem. The PMO says the initiative is predominantly women-led and is expected to create employment opportunities while connecting locally manufactured products with global customers.

At Namo Ghat, the programme is scheduled to commemorate the Indian Air Force’s 94th anniversary under the theme “Wings over Ganges”. The announced lineup includes Tejas, Rafale, Su-30MKI and the Prachand light combat helicopter, along with transport aircraft and display teams from the IAF. Aircraft from the Indian Navy and Army are also expected to participate.
