India’s food processing sector is entering a decisive growth phase, and INDUSFOOD Manufacturing 2026 (5th Edition) stands at the center of this transformation. Scheduled from 6 to 8 January 2026 at Yashobhoomi, IICC, Dwarka, New Delhi, the event is set to become one of the most influential platforms for food manufacturing, processing technology, packaging, automation, and allied industries. As global demand for safe, scalable, and value-added food products rises, INDUSFOOD Manufacturing 2026 arrives at a critical moment—connecting innovation, investment, and industry leadership under one roof.
INDUSFOOD Manufacturing is not just another trade exhibition; it is a focused ecosystem designed specifically for the food manufacturing and processing value chain. From raw material handling to final packaging and logistics, the event brings together solution providers, technology leaders, machinery manufacturers, and decision-makers who are shaping the future of food production.
The 5th edition builds on the success of previous years, expanding its scope and scale to address emerging challenges such as food safety, sustainability, energy efficiency, traceability, and smart manufacturing. With India positioning itself as a global food manufacturing hub, the exhibition plays a strategic role in showcasing domestic capabilities while facilitating international collaborations.
India is one of the world’s largest producers of food, yet a significant portion of its output remains under-processed. The government’s push through initiatives like Make in India, PLI schemes, and infrastructure development has created fertile ground for modern food processing.
