Pune city centreUSD 150–205 / night
Full-service option for visitors who want to be close to restaurants and city meetings; add transfer time to Moshi on all three show days.
Local transport
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
Pune Metro
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forPurple and Aqua lines for cross-city legs, with a bus or auto-rickshaw connection for the final approach to Moshi
Pune Metro is useful for moving between the airport side, the city centre and PCMC, but no metro line runs directly onto the PIECC grounds; plan the last leg by PMPML bus or auto-rickshaw.
City bus (PMPML)
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forPMPML routes towards Moshi, Bhosari and the Nashik-Alandi road corridor
The cheapest way to reach the Moshi area. Check the current PMPML route and stop list for the fairground, and allow extra time at peak hours.
Auto-rickshaw (short hop)
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forLast-mile from a metro station or bus stop to the venue gate or hotel
Agree the fare before boarding or insist on the meter. Auto-rickshaws are the fastest option for short stretches when traffic is heavy.
App cab (Ola / Uber)
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forPoint-to-point trips between hotels, the exhibition district and dinner venues inside Pune
The most practical door-to-door option for PIECC, especially if you carry catalogues or PPE. Expect surge pricing at hall closing time.
Airport taxi, PNQ to PIECC
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forPune Airport (Lohegaon) to Pune International Exhibition and Convention Centre, Moshi
Use the prepaid taxi counter inside the arrivals hall or book an app cab from the designated pickup zone. Give the driver the venue name and the Moshi pin.
Intercity rail, Mumbai to Pune
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forMumbai CSMT, Dadar or Panvel to Pune Junction, then a local transfer to Moshi
Useful when you land at Mumbai and want to avoid a long road transfer. Book reserved seats in advance and allow time for the Pune station to hotel leg.
Road transfer, BOM to Pune
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forMumbai airport to Pune by AC coach or private taxi via the Mumbai-Pune Expressway
Coach services are frequent but add a city transfer at each end. A private taxi suits groups carrying exhibition material.
Venue parking (private vehicle)
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forPIECC on-site and adjacent parking for self-drive visitors and exhibitors
Parking capacity tightens around opening hour on day one. Arrive early, keep the parking token with you and note the gate number for the return walk.
Weather
April in Pune is the tail end of the dry season: expect hot, sunny afternoons around 35-38 C, warm nights near 22-25 C and dusty air ahead of the monsoon. Keep movement between halls and parking to early morning or after dusk where possible, use the indoor concourse corridors and carry water. Rain is uncommon but a short pre-monsoon shower is not impossible, so a compact umbrella is a reasonable backup. Air quality can sit in the moderate band during this period; a free-source snapshot of the seed location recorded a US AQI of roughly 96 with PM2.5 near 27.5 micrograms per cubic metre, which is a sample rather than a forecast for the show days. Visitors with respiratory sensitivity should check local air quality advisories before travel and carry any prescribed medication.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Pune has wide 4G and 5G mobile coverage across the city and the Moshi industrial belt. International visitors can buy a local prepaid SIM from Airtel, Jio or Vi at official stores or the airport with a passport and visa, or use an eSIM if their handset and home operator support India roaming. Airport and hotel Wi-Fi is common; do not assume free Wi-Fi inside the exhibition halls, so keep a data pack for badge apps, cab bookings and email. India uses 230 V at 50 Hz with type C, D and M plugs, so bring a universal adapter. Save offline maps of the PIECC Moshi area and the hotel pin before leaving, and keep a screenshot of your visitor badge in case the on-site network is congested at opening.

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Language at the show
Marathi is the local language of Pune, with Hindi and English widely used in business and on exhibition stands. Most welding equipment and consumables suppliers will have English-speaking technical staff, but confirm critical specification numbers in writing to avoid miscommunication.
Business etiquette on the stand
Exchange business cards at the start of a meeting, address counterparts by title and surname until invited otherwise, and expect technical discussions to move quickly once credentials are established. Follow up stand conversations with a written summary of the equipment, consumables and lead times discussed.
Dress and floor practicalities
Smart business casual works for meetings, with closed safety shoes if you plan to enter live welding demonstration areas. April is hot, so light cotton shirts and a light layer for air-conditioned conference rooms are more useful than a heavy suit.
Food and dietary expectations
Pune has strong vegetarian, Maharashtrian and international dining options, and many business lunches are vegetarian by default. Confirm dietary needs in advance for hosted dinners, and note that alcohol is served in most hotels but not in all standalone restaurants.
Money, tax and payments
The currency is the Indian rupee (INR). Cards and UPI mobile payments are widely accepted in hotels and restaurants, but keep cash for auto-rickshaws and small vendors. Ask exhibitors for a GST-compliant quotation if you are buying equipment for an Indian entity.
Punctuality and scheduling
Meeting times are generally respected in industrial settings, but road traffic around Moshi and the airport corridor can add 20-30 minutes at peak hours. Leave buffer time between stand appointments and confirm the meeting point on the floor plan in advance.

Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Destination: PNQ
Book flights to Pune (PNQ) with at least one buffer day, arriving on 15 April 2027 for the 16 April opening. Long-haul itineraries into PNQ usually involve one or two connections through a Gulf hub, or a Mumbai (BOM) arrival followed by a short domestic hop or the Mumbai-Pune Expressway road transfer of 3.5-4.5 hours. The 2027-04-16 JFK-PNQ capture showed fares still loading, but Google flagged the price level as typical for the route, and every itinerary shown was a 24-hour-plus connecting service; compare two-stop Gulf routings against one-stop Europe plus Bengaluru connections and check the minimum connection time before booking. Confirm the Indian visa timeline before paying for non-refundable tickets, and book the PNQ airport transfer or hotel pickup at the same time so a delayed arrival does not leave you without a ride.
Transport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Pune Airport (Lohegaon) (PNQ): Approximately 45-75 minutes outside peak traffic; allow longer during morning show opening; Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, Mumbai (BOM): Approximately 3.5-4.5 hours by road, longer in peak traffic or monsoon conditions; Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMI): Approximately 3.5-4.5 hours by road, subject to the airport's operating status. Allow road or rail time to Pune International Exhibition and Convention Centre; on-site pa
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Pune International Exhibition and Convention Centre: Viman Nagar: Lemon Tree Hotel, Viman Nagar; Mundhwa: The Fern Habitat Pune, Mundhwa, Series by Marriott; Woodland: The Fern Residency Pune, Woodland, Series by Marriott.
Ride-hail: Ola, Uber and inDrive operate across Pune, and app cabs are the most practical way to reach PIECC Moshi from airport-side and central hotels. Expect 5-15 minute pickup waits outside peak hours and surge pricing around hall opening and closing. Auto-rickshaws are also bookable through the same apps and are cheaper for short hops. Give drivers the venue name plus the Moshi locality, since the PIECC abbreviation is not always recognised. At PNQ, use the designated app-cab pickup zone rather than the private car lane, and keep a prepaid taxi counter option as a backup if the app shows no cars during a late arrival.
Public transit: Pune's public transport combines the metro (Purple and Aqua lines), PMPML city buses and suburban rail. Neither metro line runs directly onto the PIECC grounds in Moshi, so a typical trip is metro or bus to the Bhosari, Alandi or Nashik road corridor followed by a PMPML bus or auto-rickshaw for the last few kilometres. Metro fares are distance based and cheap, roughly INR 20-60 per journey, and PMPML bus stages run lower still. Build in extra time: cross-city legs in the morning peak can take twice as long as off-peak. Check current PMPML routes, stop names and metro timings on the operator sites before you travel, and keep a cab app installed as a fallback for the return trip after the halls close.
Parking: PIECC has parking areas serving the exhibition halls, with additional paid lots in the surrounding Moshi area. Capacity tightens sharply around the first morning of the show, so arrive 45-60 minutes before your first meeting if you are self-driving. Keep the parking token with you, note the gate and block number for the return walk, and use the marked pedestrian routes rather than crossing service roads. Daily parking rates are set by the venue rather than the organiser, and the show organiser does not publish an official parking tariff, so confirm the current charge with the venue or your hotel before relying on it. Visitors with limited mobility should ask the organiser in advance about drop-off points closest to the entrance.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: April 2027 (show days 16-18 April)
Temperature: Daytime highs typically 35-38 C (95-100 F), with cooler mornings near 22-25 C (72-77 F) and warm nights. Halls and cabs are air-conditioned, but the walk between parking and the entrance is fully exposed.
Seasonality: April falls at the end of Pune's dry season, before the June-September monsoon. Rain on the show days is unlikely but a brief pre-monsoon shower is possible, and the bigger seasonal factors are heat, dust and strong midday sun rather than downpours.
Packing: Pack light cotton or moisture-wicking business wear in light colours, closed safety shoes for live welding demonstration areas, safety glasses if you plan to stand close to arcs, a refillable water bottle, sunglasses and sun protection, and a light layer for air-conditioned meeting rooms. A compact umbrella is useful for sun shade as much as for a stray shower, and a small bag for catalogues and PPE saves handling loose items on the floor.
Plan your trip
Planning
Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)
Mid-show days at India Welding Technology Show usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.
Day 1
Collect the base materials, plate thicknesses, joint preparations and duty cycles you need vendors to quote against — Bring drawings and weld maps; a folder of PDFs is easier than photographs of prints
Day 2
Build a shortlist of exhibitors from the online exhibitor list and request stand meetings for automation, consumables and safety suppliers — Ask each supplier for their preferred meeting slot on 16 or 17 April
Day 3
Prepare the quality framework you will discuss: WPS and PQR requirements, welding inspection and NDT standards used at your plant — Stand teams respond faster when you name the standard and acceptance criteria up front
Day 4
Book flights to Pune, aiming to land on 15 April so you have a buffer day before the opening — Most long-haul itineraries into PNQ include one or two connections; check the minimum connection time
Day 5
Book a hotel in Viman Nagar, Mundhwa or central Pune and confirm airport pickup and late check-in; If you are travelling from abroad, lodge your Indian business or e-Business visa application and gather the supporting documents — Keep the invitation letter from your company or an exhibitor, hotel confirmation and return ticket ready
Day 6
Plan the PNQ airport transfer and daily hotel-to-venue movement, including an app cab or prepaid taxi backup; Review the floor plan and group the stands you want to visit by hall to cut walking time in the heat — Leave 20-30 minutes between booked meetings for hall changes
Day 7
Pack PPE for the demonstration areas: closed safety shoes and safety glasses, plus business cards and a printed spec pack — Some welding cells run live demonstrations, so dress for a working exhibition floor
Day 8
Prepare capex or budget comparison sheets so you can discuss pricing and lead times on the stand — Note which decisions need a second approval before you commit to any equipment
Day 9
Finalise a heat plan for April in Pune and download offline maps, cab apps and the show badge — Carry a refillable water bottle and a light layer for air-conditioned halls
Day 10
Confirm show dates and hall hours on indiaweldingtechnologyshow.com and register your visitor badge online; Travel day: arrive in Pune, confirm your transfer time for the opening day and re-check hall hours and registration desk location — Confirm with the hotel whether breakfast is served before your transfer on 16 April
Day 11
Write down the welding processes you are reviewing: SMAW, MIG/MAG, TIG, automated cells, cutting or fume extraction — Match each process to a project or production line so stand engineers can size equipment properly
