Indplas Kolkata

Indplas, short for "International Exhibition for Plastics", is a major plastics trade fair in East India and serves as a central platform for innovation, technology, and business development in the industry. The fair is organized by the Indian Plastics Federation and takes place every three years at the prestigious Biswa Bangla Mela Prangan in Kolkata. It attracts professionals, companies, and decision-makers from across the plastics industry.

This trade fair provides insights into the entire value chain of plastic production—from machinery and equipment to raw materials and chemicals, through to finished products and sustainable recycling solutions. Indplas focuses on extrusion and injection molding machines, blow molding equipment, precision tools, and hot runner systems, as well as the latest developments in polymer technologies, additives, and dyes. Packaging materials, films, profiles, and innovative semi-finished products are also featured, offering visitors a comprehensive market overview.

A highlight of the fair is the Theme Pavilion, which showcases forward-looking developments in the plastics industry. High-quality seminars and scientific presentations from renowned universities and research institutions enhance knowledge transfer and interdisciplinary exchange. The Recycling Pavilion presents innovative processes and solutions for sustainable plastic processing and offers interactive presentations that raise awareness of environmentally friendly alternatives.

Indplas is not only a platform for innovation but also a central meeting point for industry professionals from sectors such as automotive, packaging, construction, medical technology, and consumer goods. Manufacturers, suppliers, engineers, and entrepreneurs use the fair to stay informed about the latest trends, forge strategic partnerships, and expand their networks.

As one of the few major plastics fairs in India with a regional focus, Indplas reflects the growing significance of the plastics industry in West Bengal and underscores Kolkata's role as an economic hub. The central location of Biswa Bangla Mela Prangan in the city center ensures optimal accessibility and good connectivity to the international airport Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. Visitors also have the opportunity to explore Kolkata's cultural diversity and industrial heritage, making the city a significant location for business and trade. Thus, Indplas is a significant industry event that drives innovations and sustainable developments, strengthening the plastics industry in India and beyond.

The Indplas takes place every three years, and therefore for the eleventh time previsibly in March 2028 in Kolkata.
