Event overview
ChemProTech India 2027 is the 16th edition of India's specialist exhibition for chemical processing technology, plant and equipment. For two business-only days, 28 and 29 April 2027, Halls 2, 3, 4 and 6 of the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Goregaon East, Mumbai host equipment builders, process licensors, automation firms and engineering consultancies alongside the co-located ChemExpo India and ChemLogistics India.
Buyers from speciality chemicals, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, dyes and pigments walk the floor to compare reactors, dryers, filtration, heat transfer, instrumentation and turnkey plant packages. Entry is free for trade visitors.
TL;DR
Compare equipment from more than 500 suppliers in two days instead of six months of plant visits; sit with process licensors and automation vendors who can quote a full line; and use the co-located ChemExpo and ChemLogistics halls to line up raw material and logistics contracts in the same trip.
Mumbai concentrates the decision makers of India's chemical belt: 69% of visitors come from Maharashtra and 21% from Gujarat. A booth here puts reactors, dryers, valves or control systems in front of project heads and procurement teams who are sanctioning capacity now, with ChemExpo India adding chemical producers as walk-on buyers.

Impact
ChemProTech India matters because it puts process equipment vendors inside the buying cycle of India's fastest-growing chemical clusters. A visitor can qualify a shortlist of reactor, dryer, filtration and automation suppliers in two days, while an exhibitor meets project heads who are already sanctioning capacity rather than collecting brochures.
Audience quality
The audience is narrow and technical: managing directors, procurement, production, R&D and supply chain executives from chemical and allied manufacturers, with Maharashtra and Gujarat dominating the domestic mix. That makes conversations specific - duty, material of construction, throughput - rather than general enquiry.
Exhibitor outcomes
Return comes from a small number of high-value capital equipment conversations rather than footfall. Vendors who pre-book meetings and staff the booth with process engineers, not only sales staff, convert best; a two-day show rewards a tight target list of 40-60 qualified projects over volume lead capture.
Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
India's chemical industry is the sixth largest in the world and still growing at double digits, with capital spend on new projects, expansions and modernisation. Equipment and process technology suppliers get direct access to the project teams sanctioning that capacity in Mumbai, the commercial capital next to the country's largest chemical clusters.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Capacity addition shifts to integrated chemical parks
New speciality chemical and agrochemical capacity is clustering in Gujarat and Maharashtra industrial estates, and buyers want vendors who can deliver a full line rather than single machines.
What it changes: Suppliers quoting complete process packages, not just equipment, win the larger orders.
Flow chemistry and continuous processing go mainstream
Indian fine chemical and pharmaceutical producers are converting batch reactions to continuous flow for better yield, safer handling and smaller footprints.
What it changes: Skid-mounted continuous systems and microreactors are now a distinct product category on the floor.
Energy, water and effluent targets reshape equipment choice
Rising power costs and stricter effluent norms push buyers towards high-efficiency heat exchangers, mechanical vapour recompression, solvent recovery and zero liquid discharge systems.
What it changes: Efficiency retrofits are as large a budget line as new capacity.
ChemProTech India sits in a dense April calendar of chemical and process industry shows; buyers often pair it with a larger European or Gulf event in the same year.
