SIAL in India has until now been held separately in New Delhi and Mumbai, but the organizer presents the next one as a flagship edition combining the two. The edition scheduled for Mumbai in April 2026 was postponed and the dates were set again. Since this is a show whose dates have moved, we recommend checking directly with the organizer before you decide to exhibit.
The Jio World Convention Centre venue is in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), a district where financial institutions and the offices of foreign companies are concentrated. It is close to the airport and easy for overseas buyers to move around.
It is run in the format of an international show, with pavilions for overseas exhibitors and business matching. Even at a stage when you have no track record of trade in India, it is a place where contact with importers and with retailers handling premium food is easy to make.
Mumbai is where retailers handling imported food and hotel procurement are concentrated. It is a city where it is easy to find partners to stock high-priced products that need explanation, such as sake, matcha, and seasonings.
Because the dates have moved once, you need to check the exhibitor application, the payment terms for the booth fee, and what happens in the event of a postponement before you sign.
If you are going to pursue business in Mumbai, seeing the actual stores before or after the show speeds up your decisions. High-price food supermarkets, food floors inside malls, and the assortment on quick commerce differ in content from city to city.
