This landmark edition is expected to attract over 600,000 business visitors from across India and the world, transforming New Delhi into the global capital of plastics innovation, collaboration, and trade
What sets PLASTINDIA 2026 apart is its determined commitment to be a Zero-Waste exhibition, a bold first for India’s plastics industry. This mission is directly inspired by our Hon Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Swachh Bharat Mission, and will see the event implement circular economy practices, large-scale recycling initiatives, and sustainability-driven operations across its 75,000+ sq. meters of exhibition space. By doing so, PlastIndia Foundation aims to set a new global benchmark for responsible large-scale exhibitions, proving that mega-events can be both grand and green.
A defining highlight of PLASTINDIA 2026 will be the unprecedented participation of India’s MSMEs. Long celebrated as the backbone of the Indian economy, MSMEs will have a central stage at this edition, showcasing innovations across packaging, consumer goods, automotive, healthcare, and sustainable plastics. Their presence underlines the event’s role as a launch pad for entrepreneurial growth, new investments, and global partnerships. By giving MSMEs a powerful platform, PLASTINDIA 2026 reinforces its commitment to Atmanirbhar Bharat and the vision of making India a global manufacturing hub.
