Major Trade Shows at NESCO and Jio World Centre
If you are looking for the schedule of upcoming exhibitions in Mumbai, 2026 brings a clear divide in venues. While heavy industrial shows continue to dominate the Bombay Exhibition Centre (NESCO) in Goregaon, luxury and lifestyle events are increasingly shifting to the Jio World Convention Centre in BKC.
This year also sees major shifts in the calendar, with some flagship events moving cities entirely. For exhibitors, understanding the specific “Traffic Restrictions” of Goregaon vs. BKC is critical for avoiding penalties during stall fabrication.

Logistics for Upcoming Exhibitions in Mumbai
Choosing the right venue in Mumbai affects your budget significantly:
Bombay Exhibition Centre (NESCO)
Located in Goregaon, right off the Western Express Highway. It is the oldest and largest venue.
Tip: The “Hub” area gets extremely congested during move-in. Ensure your fabrication team schedules material drops for late night (post 11 PM) to avoid waiting charges.
Jio World Convention Centre (BKC)
A premium venue with stricter finish guidelines. Fabrication here often requires “pre-fab” modular systems as on-site woodworking is heavily restricted to maintain cleanliness.
