CPHI India 2026 is the pharmaceutical ingredients and finished-dosage trade show taking place from 23 to 25 November 2026 at Yashobhoomi (IICC), Dwarka, New Delhi, alongside PMEC India, the pharma machinery show at India Expo Mart, Greater Noida on 24–26 November, for pharma manufacturers, buyers and suppliers.
Organised by Informa Markets in India, this is the 19th edition of CPHI India. Organisers describe the platform as one of India’s most internationally connected pharma events, and this year it expands across two venues in Delhi NCR for the first time after the show outgrew a single venue. Shuttle services are planned between the two venues on overlapping days.
What to Expect at CPHI India 2026
CPHI India covers APIs, excipients, finished dosage and formulations, natural extracts, fine chemicals and intermediates. Participants include API and excipient makers, generic and finished-dosage producers, CROs, CDMOs, biotech firms and service providers.
PMEC India becomes a dedicated machinery and manufacturing technology show with its own venue. It focuses on processing, packaging, cleanroom technology, laboratory and analytical equipment, automation and digitally enabled manufacturing. Cross-event themes include AI and technology, a start-up market and sustainability, alongside a Connections Programme for meetings. The overlapping schedule effectively gives visitors four days, 23–26 November.
Who Should Attend CPHI India?
Procurement and sourcing heads at formulation companies, API and intermediates buyers, contract manufacturers, packaging and machinery buyers, regulatory and quality teams, and start-ups looking for partners will find relevant exhibitors. Fine-chemical and specialty-chemical suppliers also use the show to reach pharma customers. Typical outcomes are supplier qualification, new sourcing relationships, technology partnerships and market intelligence on regulation and pricing.
Dates, Venue and How to Register
CPHI India runs 23–25 November 2026 at the India International Convention and Expo Centre (IICC), Yashobhoomi, Dwarka, Delhi, from 10:00 to 18:00. PMEC India runs 24–26 November at India Expo Mart (IEML), Greater Noida, 10:00–18:00 on 24–25 November and until 17:00 on 26 November. Visitor passes are available through the official CPHI India website; fees and deadlines are published there. Hotel booking links are provided for each venue.
Why Pharma and Chemical Professionals Shouldn’t Miss This Expo
India’s pharma supply chain is working to broaden API sourcing and strengthen domestic intermediates, which keeps sourcing meetings and supplier audits high on the agenda. For chemical manufacturers, the show is a route into pharma-grade demand; for formulators, it is a chance to compare suppliers and technology in one trip. The two-venue format signals strong participation but means visitors should plan their days carefully to reach both halls.
