    South Asia — India (Delhi NCR), New Delhi

    Why it matters

    India is one of the fastest-growing packaged-FMCG markets, and Delhi NCR sits at the centre of retail, quick-commerce and food-processing decision-making. An FMCG contract-manufacturing and private-label show at YashoBhoomi puts brand owners and retailers in the same halls as co-packers, ingredient and packaging suppliers — compressing what is normally a months-long supplier search into two show days, with strong relevance for Gulf, African and South-East Asian buyers sourcing from India.

    Visa & entry documents

    Check the latest visa requirements and entry guidelines before travelling.

    Visa required
    ATA Carnet: accepted

    Nepal and Bhutan nationals do not require a visa to enter India; certain Maldives nationals can enter without a visa for short visits. Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) cardholders do not need a visa — carry the OCI card.

    India is a member of the ATA Carnet system and carnets are commonly used to bring exhibition/sample goods and professional equipment for trade fairs. Confirm current acceptance, HS-code coverage and the issuing chamber with Indian Customs and the carnet-issuing body before shipping stand material.

    Weather

    Late October in New Delhi is post-monsoon: warm, fairly humid days around 30–33°C easing to roughly 18–21°C at night, with low rainfall (typically under ~20 mm for the month). Air quality often deteriorates toward late October, so sensitive travellers should plan for haze and carry a mask.

    Plan for the climate

    Check temperatures and pack accordingly

    Venue connectivity

    Confirm mobile roaming or local SIM options for business visitors to India.

    Ride-hailing

    Cultural notes

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Greetings and business etiquette

    A 'namaste' with palms together is common, though handshakes are standard in business settings. Exchange business cards with the right hand, use titles (Mr/Ms/Dr) and keep small talk light before commercial discussions.

    Tipping and payments

    Restaurants often add a 5–10% service charge; adding a further 5–10% tip is appreciated. Cards are accepted at hotels and Aerocity restaurants, but carry cash for taxis, auto-rickshaws and small vendors; note that some dates are declared 'dry days'.

    Dress and venue norms

    Business formal or smart business casual is expected on the show floor and in conference sessions; modest dress is respectful at religious sites. Evenings in late October are pleasant, so pack a light layer for outdoor networking.

    Planning

    Best day to visit: Day 1 — Friday 23 October 2026

    Opening day concentrates the inauguration, the highest exhibitor staffing, buyer delegations and first-day announcements across both halls of the two-day show, so you can cover the widest supplier base and secure meetings before appointment slots fill. Day 2 (Sat 24 October) is better reserved for follow-ups, quotations and plant-visit scheduling.

    1

    Check passport validity and apply for the India business or e-visa through the official Government of India portal — CMPL Expo 2026 runs 23-24 October 2026 in New Delhi; allow several weeks for visa processing before travel.

    2

    Shortlist conference sessions and matchmaking slots relevant to your sourcing categories — Focus on food, beverage, health and wellness, beauty and personal care, and nutraceutical tracks.

    8

    Arrange airport-to-hotel transfer and plan local transport to YashoBhoomi Convention Centre — Pre-book a taxi or ride-hail for both show days to avoid peak-hour delays.

    QUESTION 1 OF 6

    What is your primary role?

    Decision matrix

    Compare participation options side by side to choose the best fit for your objectives.

    visit

    You need to shortlist co-manufacturers, compare MOQs/certifications and meet several suppliers in one trip — the two-day format is efficient for a first sourcing pass.

    Best for

    Retailers, D2C/quick-commerce brands, ingredient and packaging suppliers and consultants scouting contract-manufacturing partners in India

    Min. budget

    $450.00

    Timeline

    4–8 weeks (accommodation near YashoBhoomi and visa/e-Visa lead time)

    Risks

    Budget estimate from listing cost signals — confirm live rates.

    Early bookings needed: late-October Delhi hotel rates and availability tighten around event weeks.

    Haze/poor air quality possible in late October; plan outdoor time accordingly.

    exhibit

    You have a defined category offer, ready samples and a sales team that can work inbound buyer traffic across both show days.

    Best for

    Contract manufacturers, private-label co-packers, ingredient/packaging suppliers and testing/certification services targeting FMCG buyers

    Min. budget

    $2,200.00

    Timeline

    3–6 months (stand booking, artwork, samples, logistics and travel)

    Risks

    Budget estimate from listing cost signals — confirm live rates.

    Minimum budget covers a basic presence only; add stand build, samples, freight/carnet and staffing costs.

    Confirm booth pricing, shell-scheme inclusions and ATA Carnet/import rules with the organiser and Indian Customs.

    skip

    Your category is not represented at a contract-manufacturing/private-label show, or you can already serve the market through existing distributors — revisit for the next edition.

    Best for

    Buyers with no India sourcing mandate, or suppliers whose target market and certifications are not ready for Indian FMCG compliance

    Min. budget

    Not yet confirmed

    Timeline
