Event overview
Zak Doors & Windows Expo 2026 is India's longest-running trade fair for doors, windows, façades and fenestration, returning to Yashobhoomi (IICC) in New Delhi from 10 to 12 December 2026. The 22nd edition puts more than 300 exhibiting brands from 25 countries on one floor alongside the co-located Zak Glass Technology Expo and Zak Aluminium Extrusions Expo.
Buyers meet profile extruders, hardware makers, machinery suppliers and façade specialists while live processing equipment runs on the show floor. Attendees are architects, fabricators, contractors, developers, dealers and distributors.
Advance visitor registration is free and one pass covers all three shows.
TL;DR
One trip covers profile systems, hardware, seals, glass, cladding and processing machinery. You can compare live equipment, question technical teams and shortlist suppliers for projects in India and neighbouring markets. The co-located glass and aluminium shows add complementary suppliers, and advance registration is free.
The show concentrates Indian and regional buyers who specify, fabricate and distribute doors, windows and façades. Exhibiting puts a product in front of contractors, developers, dealers and consultants on a trade-only floor, with glass and aluminium buyers next door. A focused 9 sqm stand or a raw-space machinery demo both fit the format.

Impact
India's fenestration market is expanding with housing, commercial glazing and retrofit demand, and this show concentrates the specification chain in one hall. A visitor gets profile extruders, hardware makers, machinery and façade specialists in a single trip, with the co-located glass and aluminium shows widening the supplier pool. For a buyer, the value is comparison shopping across materials and systems rather than a single-category display.
Audience quality
The floor is trade-only and skewed to people who specify, fabricate or distribute: architects and façade consultants, door and window contractors, fabricators, developers, dealers and distributors. The 2025 edition drew 30,000+ trade visitors, and the 2026 edition advertises 25 represented countries. Expect a working crowd in the first two days and a shorter Saturday; decision-makers are easiest to reach before lunch.
Exhibitor outcomes
Best fit for brands selling aluminium and uPVC profiles, hardware, seals, glass, cladding and processing machinery into India. A 9 sqm shell is enough for a focused product display; machinery needs raw space and a live-demo plan. Lead quality is highest from contractors, fabricators and developers with live projects, so staff the stand with technical sellers rather than generalists. Budget for three days plus setup and follow up within a week.
Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
India is adding housing, offices and transport projects that need energy-efficient windows, doors and façades. Buyers are moving from standalone products to tested systems, and the show gathers the profiles, glass, hardware and machinery behind those systems in New Delhi, close to the National Capital Region's developer and contractor base.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
System selling replaces component selling
Buyers increasingly ask for tested window and door systems with matched profiles, hardware, seals and glass rather than loose components.
What it changes: Suppliers who can document performance and compatibility win specification slots earlier.
Energy codes push thermal performance
Indian commercial and residential projects are specifying lower U-values, double glazing, thermal breaks and solar-control glass.
What it changes: Insulation and glazing upgrades move from premium option to tender requirement.
Automation and fabrication quality
Window and door fabricators are investing in CNC cutting, welding and automated lines to raise output and consistency.
What it changes: Machinery suppliers can sell a full production upgrade, not a single machine.
The New Delhi show sits inside a cluster of Zak trade fairs and international fenestration events. The two co-located shows share the same floor and pass; the wider circuit helps a buyer plan a year of sourcing.
