Jharkhand Reverse Buyer Seller Meet 2026
JHARKHAND REVERSE BUYER SELLER MEET 2026
Meet leading manufacturers and artisan enterprises from Jharkhand in pre-scheduled, one-to-one business meetings. The Meet is organised by the Jharkhand Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation (JIIDCO), Government of Jharkhand, under the RAMP Programme.
Two Focus Sectors
1. Automobile and Auto Components
2. Handicrafts, Handloom, Textiles and Apparel
Automobile and Auto Components
Eastern India's auto components hub
The Jamshedpur–Adityapur belt is eastern India's largest auto cluster. More than 600 auto ancillary units operate in the Adityapur region, directly employing over 25,000 people, and they have supplied commercial vehicle manufacturers for decades. Global engineering names such as Tata Motors, Cummins and Timken manufacture in and around Jamshedpur.
Why source auto components from Jharkhand
- Raw material at the doorstep. Steel, iron ore and coal are produced within the state, and auto-grade steel is made a few kilometres from the cluster. This keeps input costs and lead times low for metal components.
- A century of manufacturing. Tata Steel has made steel in Jamshedpur since the early 1900s, and Tata Motors has built commercial vehicles there since the 1950s. Suppliers are used to the quality demands of large manufacturers.
- Shared technical facilities. The Adityapur Auto Cluster gives its units a testing centre, design lab, tool rooms and calibration facilities that smaller manufacturers could not afford alone.
- Access to ports. The cluster is within roughly 300 km of the ports of Kolkata and Haldia, and the Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor passes through the state.
- Ready for new customers. Many suppliers are now looking beyond their traditional domestic customers and building export business. An electric vehicle cluster is also being planned.

Handicrafts, Handloom, Textiles and Apparel
The home of tasar silk and tribal craft
Jharkhand is India's leading producer of tasar (tussar) silk, a wild silk with a natural gold sheen and a textured feel. The silkworms are reared on forest trees, and the cocoons are reeled, spun and woven largely by women in village centres. The state's raw silk output has grown from about 90 tonnes in 2001 to about 1,363 tonnes in 2024–25, supported by 100 cocoon preservation centres.
The state's crafts draw directly on nature and on tribal tradition. In June 2026, eleven Jharkhand products received Geographical Indication (GI) tags, among them Tussar Silk and Sarees, Kuchai Silk Saree, Dokra Craft, Jharkhand Bamboo Craft and Munda Jewellery. Sohrai painting already holds a GI tag.
Why source textiles and craft from Jharkhand
- Products found nowhere else. Twelve Jharkhand products are protected by GI tags, which certify their origin.
- Natural and handmade. Tasar is a forest silk, and most products are made by hand from natural materials.
- Orders that support livelihoods. Much of this sector is run by women artisans and self-help groups, so every order supports rural families directly.
- Institutional support. Jharcraft, the state's silk, handloom and handicraft development corporation, works with artisans and weavers on design, quality and marketing.
Signature products
What you can source
- Tasar silk: fabric, sarees, stoles and made-ups in natural and dyed shades.

About Jharkhand
Eastern India's auto components hub and the home of tasar silk
Jharkhand lies in eastern India and became India's 28th state on 15 November 2000. The name means 'land of forests', and close to 30% of the state is still under forest cover.
Beneath those forests lies about 40% of India's mineral wealth. That resource base built India's first steel city, Jamshedpur, more than a century ago, and it has since given the state one of the country's deepest engineering and metalworking supplier bases. Alongside this industrial strength, Jharkhand's tribal communities have kept alive craft and weaving traditions found nowhere else.
