INS & OUTS Chandigarh

INS & OUTS is an annual trade fair dedicated to architecture, construction and interior design. It is specifically aimed at industry professionals who are actively shaping the built environment of the future. The name “INS & OUTS” symbolises the interplay between interior and exterior spaces, reflecting a holistic approach in which architecture, construction and interior design are treated as interconnected disciplines. This integrated perspective positions the event as a practical platform that showcases not only products but, more importantly, tangible solutions to current challenges in the construction and design sectors.

The event takes place at Parade Ground in Sector 17, Chandigarh—one of India’s most modern and architecturally significant cities, widely regarded as an icon of urban planning. The fair is organised annually by the PHDCCI Chamber of Commerce and Industry, a leading Indian business organisation that promotes innovation, industrial collaboration and sustainable growth, lending the event considerable economic relevance.

In terms of content, INS & OUTS covers a broad yet clearly structured range of topics. Its core focus is on forward-looking architecture, including urban development, infrastructure and innovative building concepts. This is complemented by modern building materials and advanced construction technologies, ranging from sustainable materials to high-tech lightweight solutions. Alongside this, the fair offers insights into current trends in interior architecture and interior design, where furniture, surfaces and lighting are presented as key elements of functional and aesthetic spatial concepts. Home décor and lifestyle trends also feature prominently, particularly in the context of smart living and the integration of design with everyday usability.

Another key focus is on safety solutions, fire protection systems and intelligent building technologies, all of which are becoming increasingly important in response to growing urban demands. This is further enhanced by the Smart Building segment, where digitalisation, energy efficiency and connected technologies are translated into practical applications—from automated building systems to data-driven and sustainable construction processes. Visitors gain a comprehensive overview of market-ready systems and services that can be directly integrated into projects.

Exhibitors include companies from the construction industry, architectural and planning practices, manufacturers of building materials and interior solutions, providers of building services engineering, and technology firms specialising in smart building. The event is primarily aimed at architects, interior designers, contractors, property developers, engineers and decision-makers in the real estate and infrastructure sectors, all of whom attend to source innovations, establish partnerships and identify proven solutions. At the same time, it serves as a valuable platform for networking and knowledge exchange, fostering collaboration and discussion of emerging market trends.

Finally, INS & OUTS stands out not only for its content but also for its location. Chandigarh, renowned for its modern and carefully planned urban design, offers an easily accessible venue at the centrally located Parade Ground in Sector 17, with excellent connections by road, rail and via the region’s international airport. This makes the fair an ideal meeting point for professionals committed to shaping the future of architecture and design.

For the twelfth time there is the INS & OUTS on 4 days from Fri., 25.09.2026 to Mon., 28.09.2026 in Chandigarh.
