India Rubber Expo New Delhi

The India Rubber Expo (IRE) is one of Asia’s leading trade fairs for the rubber industry. It serves as a central business and innovation platform for the Indian subcontinent. The event is organised by the All India Rubber Industries Association (AIRIA), the principal industry body representing India’s rubber sector. For decades, AIRIA has championed the interests of manufacturers, exporters and suppliers, strengthening India’s global standing as a manufacturing and innovation hub.

Held biennially, the IRE rotates between major commercial centres such as Mumbai, Chennai and New Delhi. This rotating format engages key industrial clusters across the country – from tyre manufacturing and automotive supply chains in the west to specialised elastomer and component producers in the south. The exhibition takes place in modern, internationally compliant exhibition venues with excellent access via airports, motorways and rail networks, ensuring convenient travel for international delegates.

The India Rubber Expo spans the entire value chain of the rubber industry. Exhibits range from raw materials – including natural and synthetic rubber, speciality chemicals, additives and compounds – to finished products such as tyre components, technical rubber goods, seals, profiles, hoses, moulded parts, conveyor belts and latex products. The portfolio is complemented by machinery and plant for mixing, extrusion, vulcanisation, testing and automation, alongside solutions focused on digitalisation, energy efficiency and sustainable manufacturing. As such, the IRE is not merely a product showcase but a platform for informed investment and procurement decisions.

A strong emphasis is placed on innovation and emerging technologies. Technical conferences, seminars and workshops address current industry topics including sustainable materials, recycling strategies, advanced elastomer formulations and global market trends. Structured matchmaking initiatives – including buyer–seller programmes and reverse buyer formats – facilitate targeted business development between manufacturers, suppliers, OEMs and procurement professionals. National pavilions further promote international collaboration and reinforce the show’s global outlook.

Exhibitors represent a broad cross-section of industries, including tyre manufacturers, automotive suppliers, chemical companies, machinery producers, testing and laboratory equipment providers, and manufacturers of technical elastomer components. Companies from the medical technology, construction and general industrial sectors are also in attendance. The visitor profile primarily comprises senior executives, technical directors, procurement managers, product developers and investors from the automotive, mechanical engineering, aerospace, construction, medical technology, trade and export sectors.

Overall, the India Rubber Expo is far more than a conventional trade fair. It is a strategic meeting point for the industry, a catalyst for innovation and a gateway to the Indian and wider Asian markets. Its host cities offer robust infrastructure and strong international connectivity, providing a reliable framework for productive participation and long-term business development.

For the twelfth time there is the India Rubber Expo on 4 days from Tue., 07.04.2026 to Fri., 10.04.2026 in New Delhi.
