Introduction
Yarn Expo 2026 is a yarn and textile trade show being held in Surat from 21 to 23 August 2026. It’s organised by the Southern Gujarat Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SGCCI), the same body behind other well known Surat trade fairs like SITEX and Global Fabric Expo.
The event brings yarn manufacturers and suppliers together with buyers, traders and textile businesses. If you deal in yarn as a manufacturer, buyer, trader, or someone sourcing for a garment or fabric unit, this is the kind of event where you can meet several suppliers in one place instead of visiting them one by one.
This guide is meant for anyone actually planning to attend: people who want the dates, the venue address, the timings, how registration works, and what to expect once they’re inside.

Yarn Expo 2026 Surat Dates
The expo runs for three days – 21 August to 23 August 2026. This date range shows up consistently across the official SGCCI channel and independent trade fair listings, so it can be treated as reliable.
A couple of practical notes on dates:
- These are the exhibition days. If you’re travelling from outside Surat, it’s worth checking the official site closer to the date in case of any last minute change.
- One government trade portal listed the closing dates slightly differently in a headline, but the detailed text on the same page and every other source agrees on 21-23 August. So stick with that range.
- Given how close these dates are, if you’re reading this and planning to attend, it’s worth registering online right away rather than waiting to register at the gate.
Yarn Expo 2026 Venue
The expo is being held at the Surat International Exhibition & Convention Centre (SIECC).
Address: SIECC, Chamber of Commerce Road, Sarsana, Surat 395007, Gujarat, India.
SIECC is SGCCI’s own exhibition venue and hosts most of its major trade shows, including SITEX and Global Fabric Expo. It’s an air conditioned, column free exhibition space with dedicated seminar halls, a business centre, a VIP lounge, a medical room, and on-site parking.
On reaching there, since it’s a large, purpose-built exhibition campus, signage inside typically directs visitors from the entrance to the registration counters and then into the exhibition halls.
Yarn Expo 2026 Timings
The official timing listed on the SGCCI Yarn Expo website is:
10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, across all three days.
There’s no mention on the official site of different hours on different days, so you can plan around this single time window for the full duration of the event.
A practical tip, not an official rule: exhibition halls tend to be quieter in the first hour after opening and busier in the late afternoon. If you want unhurried conversations with exhibitors, arriving closer to 10:00 AM generally works better than showing up in the evening.
Yarn Expo 2026 Exhibitors
The official site describes the kind of yarn categories manufacturers will be showcasing at the expo:
- Natural and blend yarns – cotton, wool, silk, linen, ramie
- Man-made and blend yarns – regenerated and synthetic
- Fancy and specialty yarns – elastic, metallic, embroidery, textured, slub, mélange, and other value added yarns
At the time of writing, SGCCI has not published a public list of confirmed exhibiting companies.
What you can reasonably expect at exhibitor stalls: physical yarn samples, spec sheets, and direct conversations with company representatives about pricing, minimum order quantities, and product ranges. That’s the standard format for this kind of B2B yarn exhibition.
Who Should Attend the Yarn Expo 2026?
- Textile and fabric manufacturers – to compare yarn quality and pricing from multiple suppliers in one visit.
- Yarn buyers and traders – to build supplier contacts and check current market offerings.
- Garment manufacturers – to explore yarn options that might suit upcoming collections.
- Exporters and importers – to scout Indian yarn suppliers for international sourcing.
- Sourcing professionals at fashion or textile businesses – to shortlist vendors before placing bulk orders.
The event is a trade show aimed at business visitors. If you’re a student or simply curious, note that registration is required for entry, and it’s structured around business networking rather than general public visits so go in with a business purpose in mind.
Yarn Expo 2026 Entry Guide
Based on how the official registration portal works, here’s the entry process:
- Go to the registration portal – expo.sgcci.in/yarnexpo26.
- Verify your phone number using an OTP sent to your mobile.
- Fill in your details – name, company name, designation, state, city, email, and your business segment (Textiles, Buyers, and so on).
- Complete the Rs.100 online payment. Registration is confirmed only after this payment goes through.
- Carry your confirmation (digital or printed) along with a valid ID when you arrive at SIECC.
- Head to the venue between 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM on any of the three expo days.
No separate on the spot registration process has been mentioned officially, so it’s safer to register online in advance rather than assume you can simply walk in.
How to Register for Yarn Expo 2026
Registration is done entirely online through expo.sgcci.in/yarnexpo26.
Here’s what you’ll need on hand:
- A mobile number for OTP verification
- Your name, company name, and designation
- Your state and city
- Your business segment (the form lists options like Textiles, Buyers, Diamond, and several others)
- Rs.100 for the registration fee, paid online
The form clearly states that visitor registration is confirmed only after the online payment is completed, so filling the form alone isn’t enough; the payment step finalises your entry pass.
For exhibitors rather than visitors, SGCCI has published a separate downloadable Application Form and Exhibition Layout on the official Yarn Expo website, alongside a general event brochure.
What Can You Expect at Yarn Expo 2026?
Based on the official description, this is a B2B yarn exhibition, expect exhibitor stalls displaying yarn samples across natural, man made, and specialty categories, along with opportunities to talk directly to manufacturers and suppliers.
It’s designed as a networking and sourcing platform rather than a retail or public exhibition. So the real value is in the conversations you have with exhibitors comparing what they offer, getting a feel for pricing, and building contacts you can follow up with after the event.
Tips for First-Time Visitors
- Register online in advance instead of leaving it for the day of the event.
- Carry a valid ID along with your registration confirmation.
- Wear comfortable shoes, exhibition halls involve a lot of walking.
- Block out enough time; rushing through stalls means missing useful conversations.
- Make a shortlist of the yarn categories or suppliers you specifically want to meet.
- Carry business cards or have your contact details ready to share digitally.
- Know your product requirements – count, blend, quantity before you start conversations.
- Ask every supplier the same core questions: MOQ, quality specs, lead time, and payment terms, so you can compare fairly.
- Note down details right after each meeting; it’s easy to mix up suppliers by the end of the day.
- Verify any supplier’s credentials independently before placing a large order.
How to Prepare Before Visiting Yarn Expo 2026
Before you go, it helps to have:
- A clear idea of the yarn type, count, and blend you’re sourcing
- Your expected order volume and delivery timeline
- A few questions ready on pricing, MOQ, and payment terms
- Your business documents or visiting card, in case a supplier asks
- A shortlist of the yarn categories most relevant to your business, so you don’t try to cover everything in one day
Final Takeaway
Yarn Expo 2026 runs from 21 to 23 August 2026 at SIECC, Sarsana, Surat, with entry open from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM each day. It’s organised by SGCCI, the same body behind several other major Surat trade shows.
If you’re a yarn buyer, manufacturer, or textile trader looking to meet suppliers face-to-face, this is worth planning for. Since the dates are close, the practical next step is simple: register online at expo.sgcci.in/yarnexpo26, complete the Rs.100 payment, and keep your confirmation and ID ready for the day you visit.
