India's Trade Show Calendar, January–March 2027: Dates and Your Booking Deadlines

The first quarter of 2027 is one of the densest stretches India's exhibition calendar has seen — flagship engineering, auto, plastics, food and energy shows stacked from the second week of January to the last week of March, with India Expo Mart in Greater Noida alone hosting four of them.

This page is the planning view: every major show we could verify against official organizer sources, and — because a date without a deadline is trivia — the booking math for each. The rule is the one we apply everywhere: a custom stall wants your builder booked six to eight weeks before opening; a double-decker, ten to twelve (why the deadlines fall where they do).

The verified Q1 2027 calendar

Last checked: 25 October 2026 — dates this far out can move; always confirm on the official show site before booking travel or space.

Three patterns worth planning around

The Greater Noida pile-up. IndusFood (January), IFEX and GTE (February–March) and ELECRAMA (February) all run at India Expo Mart — four builds, one venue, ten weeks. Exhibitors doing more than one should brief a single design language across them; it cuts design cost and compounds recall (our venue guide covers the ground rules).

Two shows, one week, twice. IMTEX and Plastivision open the same day in different cities (21 January, Bengaluru and Mumbai); IFEX and LogiMAT share 8–10 February across Greater Noida and Mumbai. Companies exhibiting at both halves need parallel builds — which is a fabrication-capacity question to ask any builder you're evaluating (what else to ask).

Flagship editions concentrate spend. IMTEX's seven-day run, ELECRAMA's biennial scale and Bharat Mobility's dual-venue format are the quarter's heavyweight commitments — the shows where booking early buys the most and late costs the most.

Work the deadlines backwards

December is the quiet month on this calendar and the loudest month in every fabrication workshop serving it: almost every Q1 booking deadline lands between mid-November and late December 2026. If one of these shows is yours, the cheapest planning decision available is to start the stall conversation this month. Concept and costing in 48 hours, fixed price.

## FAQ

Which are the biggest trade shows in India in early 2027? By scale and spend: IMTEX 2027 (machine tools, Bengaluru), Bharat Mobility Global Expo (auto, dual-venue Delhi), ELECRAMA (electrical, Greater Noida) and Plastivision (plastics, Mumbai) — with IndusFood, IFEX, LogiMAT, India Energy Week, Convergence India and GTE around them.

When should I book my stall builder for a January 2027 show? Six to eight weeks before opening — mid-to-late November 2026 for the January shows. Double-deckers need ten to twelve weeks.

Are these dates final? They were verified against official organizer sources on 25 October 2026, but dates this far out can move — confirm on the official site before committing. AAHAR and ACETECH dates are not yet official.

Can one builder handle shows in two cities in the same week? With parallel fabrication capacity, yes — ask directly about workshop capacity and mock-up process before committing (the full checklist).
