Major Trade Shows at HITEX and HICC
Hyderabad is rapidly becoming the preferred hub for pharmaceutical, biotech, and engineering trade shows in South India. For 2026, the calendar is packed with major international events hosted primarily at the HITEX Exhibition Centre and the adjacent HICC (Hyderabad International Convention Centre).
If you are planning to exhibit in Hyderabad, be aware that the city’s events are highly specialized. Unlike Delhi’s general trade fairs, Hyderabad focuses on high-value sectors like Life Sciences and Defense, where stall quality directly impacts your brand perception.

Venue Logistics: HITEX Hyderabad
HITEX is located in the IT corridor (Madhapur/Hitech City). Unlike venues in Mumbai or Delhi, it has excellent parking and relatively easier access for freight trucks.
- Connectivity: It is well-connected to the Outer Ring Road (ORR), making it easy for logistics partners to bring in materials from industrial fabrication zones.
- Accommodations: There are plenty of hotels in Hitech City and Gachibowli, but prices spike during BioAsia and HIMTEX. Book your team’s stay early.
