CPHI & PMEC India 2026

CPHI & PMEC India is the South Asian edition of Informa's global CPHI franchise, pairing the ingredients and finished-dosage show (CPHI) with the pharma machinery, equipment and packaging show (PMEC). The 2026 edition splits across two venues for the first time: CPHI India at IICC Yashobhoomi, Dwarka (23-25 Nov) and PMEC India at India Expo Mart / IEML, Greater Noida (24-26 Nov), with a two-day overlap and shuttle service linking them. It is among the largest pharma manufacturing gatherings in the region.

For cold chain professionals the relevance is upstream: this is where API and finished-dosage manufacturers, packaging suppliers and machinery vendors set the sourcing and equipment decisions that shape downstream temperature-controlled handling. Cold chain packaging, data-logger/monitoring and pharma-logistics providers exhibit here to reach Indian manufacturers and exporters. Attending maps the supply base feeding India's pharma export cold chain.

The floor is dominated by API and intermediate manufacturers, CDMO/CMO contract manufacturers, formulation and packaging companies, and machinery/equipment OEMs, alongside procurement and business-development staff from global buyers. Seniority skews to sourcing heads, plant and quality leads, and export managers. Cold chain and logistics firms attend as exhibitors and solution providers rather than as a formally segmented audience.
