What kind of trade show it is

The Indian government is backing domestic toy production, and policies that shift the weight from imports to domestic manufacturing continue. The companies on the floor are mainly Indian manufacturers, and importers and retail buyers come there to buy. The organizer also runs an invitation program for overseas buyers.

The Bharat Mandapam venue is in central New Delhi, the same facility used for large government-linked shows such as AAHAR.

What Japanese companies can do here

For companies handling character merchandise, cards, or figures, it is a place to meet both the side that would make the product in India and the side that would sell it. Producing locally holds down customs duty and international freight, but unless you also count the cost of molds and certification, the minimum lot, and domestic logistics, it does not necessarily come out cheaper.

If you are in the position of granting a license, it is a place to check the production capacity and quality control of Indian toy manufacturers. Comic Con India is for seeing consumer reactions, while this show is for finding manufacturing and distribution partners.

What to check before exhibiting or visiting

Toys in India fall under the Quality Control Order (QCO). Whether produced domestically or imported, in principle each manufacturing site needs a BIS license and the Standard Mark. For imports, it is the overseas factory that obtains it, so in buyer meetings check whether the counterpart's factory already has it.

July in Delhi falls in the monsoon season. Build a schedule with extra time for travel.
