The 12th edition of PLASTINDIA took place from 5–10 February 2026 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, bringing together the global plastics industry on one of the world’s largest sector-focused exhibition platforms. The event was organised by the Plastindia Foundation with support from key government bodies and industry stakeholders.
Held under the theme “Bharat Next,” the exhibition reflected India’s vision for advanced manufacturing, self-reliance, and sustainable industrial growth. The show highlighted the five strategic pillars of trade, technology, talent, tradition, and tourism, positioning the plastics industry as a critical contributor to the country’s economic development.
PLASTINDIA 2026 stood out for its impressive scale and international participation. The event hosted over 2,000 exhibitors from more than 80 countries, making it one of the largest standalone plastics exhibitions globally. Spread across 20+ exhibition halls, the show was expected to attract over 600,000 visitors over six days, underlining its significance as a major sourcing and networking platform for the plastics value chain.
