CPHI & PMEC India is South Asia's biggest pharmaceutical sourcing week — and from 2026 it runs as two specialised shows. CPHI India covers ingredients and finished products at IICC Yashobhoomi in New Delhi, , while PMEC India covers machinery and equipment at IEML in Greater Noida, 24-26 November.

Dates and venues

  • CPHI India: 23-25 November 2026, IICC Yashobhoomi, Dwarka, New Delhi

Who should attend

India's position in the global supply chain makes this week consequential far beyond South Asia: a large share of the world's APIs and generic medicines trace back to suppliers who exhibit here. Sourcing and procurement teams anchor the visit; the regulatory and quality professionals alongside them are the ones auditing GMP status, DMF readiness and nitrosamine controls before a supplier ever reaches a dossier.

The series' global flagship, CPHI Milan 2026, runs the month before — and the events directory lists every option we have verified.

Frequently asked questions

When is CPHI India 2026?

CPHI India runs 23-25 November 2026 at IICC Yashobhoomi in Dwarka, New Delhi. Its machinery counterpart, PMEC India, runs 24-26 November at IEML in Greater Noida, with shuttle services between the two venues on the overlap days.

What is the difference between CPHI India and PMEC India?

From 2026 the event splits into two specialised shows: CPHI India covers APIs, excipients, fine chemicals and finished dosage products, while PMEC India covers pharmaceutical machinery, packaging, lab-analytical equipment and clean-room technology.

Is CPHI India relevant to regulatory professionals?

Yes. India supplies a large share of the world's APIs and generics, and supplier qualification there carries direct regulatory consequences — GMP status, DMFs, impurity control. This is the week the whole Indian supply chain is in one region.
