CPHI & PMEC India 2026 have announced a significant expansion that mirrors the growing scale, ambition, and transformation of India’s pharmaceutical ecosystem.

Entering its 19th edition, the platform will now be hosted across two premier venues in Delhi NCR, enabling more focused engagement at scale.

CPHI India will be held from 23–25 November 2026 at Yashobhoomi (India International Convention and Expo Centre), while PMEC India will take place from 24–26 November 2026 at India Expo Mart.

This expanded format represents the next phase of that journey, aligned with an industry that is becoming increasingly specialised, technology-enabled, and outcome-driven.

Speaking on the expansion, Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director, Informa Markets in India, said: “The decision to expand CPHI & PMEC India into a two-venue format was driven by research and clear industry feedback. After an 18-month international, consultant-led study and extensive stakeholder consultations, it was evident that the platform had outgrown a single venue. Visitors needed more time, exhibitors needed more space, and both were seeking deeper, more effective engagement. The overlapping schedule effectively adds a fourth day, improving time efficiency, enabling cross-show synergy, and delivering stronger ROI.

At Yashobhoomi, New Delhi, CPHI India 2026 will continue to serve as India’s most internationally connected platform for pharmaceutical ingredients, APIs, formulations, and related services. It will bring together API and excipient manufacturers, generic and finished dosage producers, CROs, CDMOs, biotech organisations, and service providers, supporting global sourcing, export-led growth, innovation exchange, and strategic partnerships. 

Meanwhile, at India Expo Mart, Greater Noida, PMEC India 2026 will evolve into a fully dedicated platform for pharmaceutical machinery, equipment, and manufacturing technologies. With a strong focus on processing, packaging, cleanroom, laboratory, automation, and digitally enabled manufacturing solutions, PMEC India aims to create a highly immersive environment for engineering, manufacturing, and operations decision-makers. 

Rahul Deshpande, Senior Group Director, Informa Markets in India, said: “This expansion strengthens the pharmaceutical ecosystem by giving both CPHI India and PMEC India the focus and scale they need to grow, while remaining part of one integrated value-chain platform. CPHI continues as the global hub for APIs, formulations, and services, while PMEC now has a fully dedicated venue to showcase machinery and manufacturing technologies at a much larger and more impactful scale.
