The Principal Commissioner of GST and Central Excise, Coimbatore, Dinesh P. Rao Pangarkar, inaugurated a three-day raw material exhibition in Coimbatore on Tuesday (October 6, 2026).
The exhibition at the CODISSIA Trade Fair Complex is organised by the Coimbatore District Small Industries Association (CODISSIA) for the fifth time and aims to give multiple raw material options for the Micro, Small and Medium-scale Enterprises (MSMEs) at the right prices.
