The exhibition is held at the Chennai Trade Centre, one of South India's leading exhibition and convention venues, and is primarily geared towards the region's rapidly expanding industrial and infrastructure markets. As one of India's foremost industrial, automotive and manufacturing hubs, Chennai offers an excellent setting for an event of this kind, supported by its strong chemicals, manufacturing and export sectors.
