India, June 6, 2025 : In a landmark move toward positioning India as the Responsible Fashion Business Capital of the World by 2030, the International Fashion Business Exchange Council (IFBEC) officially launched its National Mission Committee (NMC) today at the World Trade Center, Mumbai, commemorating World Environment Day with a renewed commitment to sustainable fashion and circular economy leadership.
The event highlighted the urgent need for cross-sector collaboration in the face of climate change, environmental degradation, and the fast-paced dynamics of global fashion commerce.
Mr. Harshavardhan Chauhan, founding visionary of Bharat YEF, a key advocate of ethical fashion, remarked, “This isn’t just about fabric — it’s about the future. Circularity is our return to dharma, where waste becomes wisdom and progress respects the planet. India must not remain the factory of the world, but become its future. This policy is not a document — it’s a declaration that Bharat will no longer be stitched into someone else’s value chain.”
As the world watches for sustainable leadership, the NMC’s launch marks the beginning of a national journey that will redefine India’s industrial narrative — from volume to value, from waste to wealth, from tradition to innovation. On this World Environment Day, we have drawn the line — for action, for accountability and for a sustainable future.
