Autumn Fair, the UK’s leading destination for Home, Gift & Fashion, returns to the NEC Birmingham from 7–10 September 2025, and this year welcomes an exciting new chapter in international collaboration with the introduction of a dedicated Indian Pavilion, championing the vibrancy, craftsmanship, and innovation of Indian design and manufacturing.
In partnership with the Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO), India’s apex trade promotion body established by the Ministry of Commerce, Autumn Fair will host 20 handpicked Indian exhibitors showcasing a curated selection of homeware, lifestyle products, textiles, gifting, fashion accessories, and more.
Supported by FIEO as part of India’s broader internationalisation strategy, these businesses are primed to connect with UK and European buyers, offering an unmatched opportunity for global trade and cultural exchange.
The Indian Pavilion arrives at a pivotal time following the signing of a landmark UK and India Free Trade Agreement (FTA), set to reduce barriers and unlock unprecedented potential in bilateral trade. With India emerging as a key sourcing hub for high-quality, design-led and competitively priced goods, Autumn Fair’s spotlight on Indian exhibitors will give buyers exclusive access to new-to-market products, ethical production, and innovative design thinking straight from the subcontinent.
Vineet Arora, Deputy Director at FIEO, commented: “The Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO), under the Ministry of Commerce, is showcasing India’s diverse export capabilities at Autumn Fair 2025, Birmingham. Under the ‘Brands from India’ banner, 20 Indian companies are exhibiting a wide range of products, home décor, textiles, giftware, fashion accessories, handicrafts, ayurvedic and sustainable goods, highlighting India’s design evolution and global competitiveness.
This participation gains strategic importance following the India and UK FTA, which ensures duty-free access for 99% of Indian exports and is expected to double bilateral trade to $120 billion by 2030.”
Nihat Berktas, Head of International Development for Retail & Fashion at Hyve Group, added, “This marks the first official participation from India at Autumn Fair since the announcement of the Free Trade Agreement.
We expect even more Indian brands to join our Home, Gift, and Fashion segments at both the Spring and Autumn Fairs next year. Our aim is to support Indian companies in increasing their exports to the UK and to become their gateway to the UK & Europe.”
