The 19th edition of CPHI India and PMEC India is set to take place in November 2026 across two separate venues in Delhi-NCR, reflecting the rapid growth and evolving needs of the pharmaceutical industry. Organised by Informa Markets India, the shows will adopt a dual-venue format for the first time, aimed at enhancing scale, specialisation, and visitor experience.
CPHI India, focused on pharmaceutical ingredients, formulations, and finished dosage, will be held from November 23-25, 2026 at Yashobhoomi in Dwarka, New Delhi. Meanwhile, PMEC India, dedicated to pharmaceutical machinery, equipment, and technology, will take place from November 24-26, 2026 at India Expo Mart.
This strategic separation is designed to accommodate increasing exhibitor demand and provide more focused industry engagement. While both events will run in parallel during overlapping dates, they will remain integrated through a unified platform, with a single registration badge granting access to both venues. Regular shuttle services will also ensure seamless connectivity between the two locations, enabling participants to experience the full pharmaceutical value chain.
The move comes as the pharma sector continues to expand rapidly, requiring larger exhibition spaces and more specialised environments. CPHI India will showcase APIs, excipients, and formulations, while PMEC India will highlight machinery, packaging, lab equipment, and clean technologies.
By splitting the events, organisers aim to improve navigation, enhance business interactions, and create more targeted networking opportunities for exhibitors and visitors alike. The new format is expected to deliver a more efficient and productive experience, reinforcing India’s position as a global hub for pharmaceutical manufacturing, innovation, and sourcing.
