CPHI & PMEC India 2026 expands to dualvenues in Delhi-NCR for 19th edition
The 19th edition of CPHI India 2026 and PMEC India 2026 will be hosted across two separate venues in Delhi-NCR next year, marking a major expansion of one of India’s leading pharmaceutical industry events.
Organisers announced that the expanded format aims to accommodate the growing scale of India’s pharmaceutical and manufacturing ecosystem while providing greater engagement opportunities for exhibitors and visitors.
Under the new arrangement, CPHI India - focused on pharmaceutical ingredients, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), and formulations — will be held from November 23 to 25 at IICC Yashobhoomi in New Delhi.
PMEC India, which focuses on pharmaceutical machinery, engineering, and manufacturing technologies, will take place from November 24 to 26 at India Expo Mart.
The overlapping schedules are expected to create a continuous four-day industry engagement platform for stakeholders across the pharmaceutical value chain.
According to the organisers, CPHI India will continue to serve as a global platform for international sourcing, partnerships, and pharmaceutical trade, while PMEC India will provide expanded exhibition space for showcasing advancements in automation, cleanroom technologies, packaging systems, and manufacturing solutions.
Yogesh Mudras said the decision to expand the event into dual venues was driven by increasing industry demand for more space and deeper business interactions.
“Visitors needed more time, exhibitors needed more space, and both were seeking deeper, more effective engagement. This expansion is about building a future-ready platform that supports India’s growing leadership as the pharmacy of the world,” he said.
The expansion comes amid continued growth in India’s pharmaceutical sector, which has seen increasing investments in manufacturing, exports, and technology-led production capabilities in recent years.
