IICC, Yashobhoomi, New Delhi, India
PaintIndia is a professional trade exhibition for paints, coatings and related manufacturing sectors, organised by ExpoNova Exhibitions & Conferences Pvt. Ltd. The official site lists opening hours of 10:00–18:00 on 12 March and 10:00–17:00 on 13 March.
Why PaintIndia matters
Compare materials and equipment
The organiser covers paints, coatings, printing inks, construction chemicals and adhesives-sealants from a sourcing and manufacturing perspective. Visitors can review related product groups alongside manufacturing, testing and measurement equipment.
Connect technical and commercial priorities
Formulators, technical managers, purchasing managers, process engineers and quality managers are among the roles named by the organiser. Prepare questions about formulations, performance, measurement and process requirements.
Who should visit PaintIndia?
Paint and coatings formulators
Compare raw materials such as pigments and resins, and ask suppliers for information relevant to your applications and performance requirements.
Purchasing managers and distributors
Shortlist suppliers by product category and compare their offerings against your purchasing, portfolio and service needs.
Process, testing and quality professionals
Review production equipment, analytical instruments, testing systems, colour matching and dispensing solutions. Bring the specifications that matter to your process.
Professionals in allied industries
People working in printing inks, construction chemicals, adhesives and sealants, composites and plastics can explore sourcing categories shared with the coatings supply chain.

How to prepare for PaintIndia
- Set an objective. Decide whether you are comparing raw materials, evaluating equipment, researching suppliers or following a technical topic.
- Review exhibitor information. Use the organiser's directory when available and shortlist companies relevant to your needs.
- Prepare specific questions. For materials, ask about specifications, application fit and technical documentation. For equipment, compare capacity, measurement range, integration and service requirements relevant to your operation.
- Prioritise conversations. Mark essential suppliers, useful alternatives and stands to visit if time permits. Record each product's relevance and your next action.
Make the most of the exhibition
Compare products against consistent requirements. Note the company, product, fit, missing information and follow-up step. Request the technical evidence needed for your own evaluation; a conversation is not a substitute for product testing or qualification.
Conference and short-course programme
PaintIndia includes a Coatings Congress, satellite conferences and panel discussions. The official site says the 2027 congress and short-course agenda will be announced later. Check the current programme before planning around a particular session; earlier programme material is not the 2027 schedule.
Who should consider exhibiting at PaintIndia?
The stated exhibitor sectors include paints and coatings, raw materials, manufacturing equipment, testing equipment, colour-matching and dispensing systems, printing inks, construction chemicals, adhesives-sealants and technical services. Suppliers can set a clear objective, prepare relevant product specifications and decide what evidence or follow-up they want from visitor conversations.
PaintIndia visitor checklist
Before
- ☐ Set a sourcing or technical objective.

Is PaintIndia worth visiting?
PaintIndia is most relevant to professionals sourcing or supplying coatings, formulation inputs, production and testing equipment, and allied materials. A focused supplier list and clear technical questions can make the visit more useful than an unplanned walk through the exhibition.

Paints and coatings opportunities in India
Market size and demand
IBEF reported that India's paints and coatings industry was valued at Rs. 93,094 crore (US?.46 billion) in 2025 and projected it to reach Rs. 1,45,782 crore (US?.38 billion) by 2030. The latter is a forecast, not a reported outcome. These broad figures do not quantify demand for a particular coating type or supplier.
Market drivers and areas to investigate
IBEF identifies housing, urbanisation, infrastructure and automotive activity among demand drivers. It also describes innovation in water-based and functional coatings, including waterproofing, heat-reflective and antimicrobial paints. Participants may investigate whether their materials, equipment or testing solutions fit these segments; the available data do not prove product-level demand or commercial success.
- For suppliers: raw-material and equipment companies may assess fit with formulators' requirements. Validate demand, customer specifications and distribution conditions independently.
- For visitors: manufacturers, formulators and procurement teams may compare products, request technical evidence and evaluate suppliers against their own requirements.
No current paint- and coatings-specific market-entry rule was verified for this guide. Companies should check applicable product standards, chemical requirements and import conditions for each product before making a market decision.
