The exhibition will be held at Hall 1C, Yashobhoomi (India International Convention and Expo Centre), Dwarka Sector 25, New Delhi.

Organised by KINTEX and Messe Esang, KoINDEX 2026 will feature 106 booths across three specialised sectors: beauty, food and construction. The 2026 edition has narrowed its focus from the broader multi-sector format of the inaugural 2024 exhibition to the three sectors that recorded the strongest commercial results during the first edition.
BeautySUM India will showcase skincare and functional cosmetics, beauty devices, hair and personal care products, cosmetic ingredients and packaging. FoodIndx will feature processed foods, health functional foods, beverages, fermented products, as well as food processing and packaging equipment. KOREA BUILD in India will cover construction and building materials, construction technology and equipment, building services, and fire and disaster safety.
The inaugural ceremony will be held on August 27 from 10:40, followed by the Indo-Korea Economic and Trade Cooperation Forum at 11:05. The forum is being organised with the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA) and the Korea International Trade Association (KITA), with senior representatives of the Korean and Indian governments, industry associations and participating companies expected to attend.
Across the three-day exhibition, participating Korean companies will hold one-to-one export consultations with Indian and South Asian buyers. The buyer pool includes local project owners, EPC contractors, distributors and wholesalers, e-commerce platforms and food distribution companies. Buyer recruitment is being conducted in cooperation with KOTRA New Delhi and Indian industry bodies.
A separate seminar on Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification will be conducted by Korea Testing Laboratory (KTL), focusing on certification and market-entry requirements for Korean products entering the Indian market.
KoINDEX 2026 is backed by several Korean public institutions. Gyeonggi Province is providing direct participation support to companies based in the province, while the Association of Korea Exhibition Industry (AKEI) is supporting the exhibition under its national programme for Korean-organised trade exhibitions. A dedicated Export Consortium pavilion is being operated in partnership with the Korea Federation of SMEs (KBIZ) under the Export Consortium programme of the Ministry of SMEs and Startups.
The 2026 edition builds on the commercial results of KoINDEX's first edition in November 2024, which attracted 233 exhibiting companies and approximately 14,000 visitors. The event generated 5,993 business meetings and approximately USD 417 million in recorded consultation value.
Across the three sectors continuing into the 2026 edition, the 2024 exhibition generated USD 170.5 million in consultation value in construction, USD 60.3 million in beauty and USD 32.2 million in food.
