India Trade Promotion Organisation (ITPO), Apex Trade organisation of Government of India, is organising participation of Indian Industry in the 15th Global Indian Festival 2017 from 31st May – June 4th, 2017 at Mid Valley Exhibition Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. 

The Global Indian festival has been rated as the largest exhibition of its kind in the Asia Pacific region and a one stop exhibition showcasing the wide varieties of India’s ethic colour and life. The 15th in its annual series, the display profile would include handicrafts, jewellery, decorative items, leather goods, toys, kitchenware, beauty products, ayurvedic products, office stationery, textiles, home décor, bed sheets, carpets, women’s garments, photo prints, souvenirs, etc., with emphasis on B2C segment. Besides, there will be specific podiums showcasing tourism, arts & culture, fashion & handicrafts. Various fashion shows are also scheduled during the event. Global Indian Festival attracts over 300,000 visitors not only from Malaysia but also international visitors specifically from the Asian region. 

Malaysia has one of the largest communities of persons of Indian origin in the world, numbering close to 2.7 million (about 9 - 10% of Malaysia’s population), which provide immense scope for Indian lifestyle products. The signing of India-Malaysia Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA) in February 2011 was an important milestone in the trade and economic relations between the two countries. This agreement came into effect from July 2011, but even in the short period, the benefits are evident in the increase in bilateral trade from US$ 10.39 billion in 2010-11 to US$ 16.93 billion in 2014-15. The trade ties between the two countries however, declined to US$ 12.79 billion during 2015-16 due to global slowdown of the economy. It is expected that the India-Malaysia CECA will facilitate and encourage further expansion of trade and economic cooperation between the two countries. 

Space charges are Rs 17,500/- per sq.mtr. The minimum bookable area is 9 sq.mtrs. and additional space can be made available in multiple of 3 sq.mtrs.
