The Telangana and Andhra Plastics Manufacturers Association (TAAPMA) has announced the upcoming schedule for the Hyderabad International Plastics Expo, HIPLEX 2026. Positioned as India's third largest plastics trade exhibition, the event will take place from August 7 to August 10, 2026, at the HITEX Exhibition Centre in Hyderabad.
The expo spans 25,000 square metres and acts as a strategic hub for South and Central India's polymer value chain. It brings together raw material manufacturers, machinery suppliers, tech innovators, and government bodies to foster investment and technical collaboration.
Key Exhibition Elements
· Market Shift & Technology: Serves rising demand across packaging, automotive, medical, infrastructure, and consumer goods sectors. Exhibits include automated machinery, raw materials, and processing tools.
· On-Floor Commercial Deals: Unlike footfall-only events, past editions show high conversion rates for B2B contracts, establishing it as a primary platform for transactions.
· Recycling & Sustainability: Features a dedicated recycling pavilion highlighting technology geared toward green regulations and a circular economy.
· Exhibitor Operational Support: To support live machinery demonstrations, organizers provide standard compressed air, water connections, and power supply on-site at no cost, requiring only a basic connection fee.
Infrastructure Initiatives for Exhibitors
To ease operational constraints during the four-day event, organizers are providing complimentary utility infrastructure for live displays. Confirmed exhibitors will have direct access to standard compressed air, water connections, and electrical lines at no operational cost, requiring only basic physical connection fees. "A live machine demonstration is a massive operational commitment for an exhibitor. By eliminating the standard on-floor overhead for power, compressed air, and water lines, we are removing technical friction so manufacturers can focus entirely on proving real-time performance and long-term production value to core institutional buyers."- Anil Reddy Vennam, Senior Vice President, AIPMA & Publicity Chairman, HIPLEX 2026.
Strategic Regional Impact
The choice of Hyderabad leverages Telangana's business-friendly policy framework, infrastructure connectivity, and its synergy with sectors like pharma and food processing. Led by Anil Reddy, Chairman of Publicity and Social Media, the event acts as an engine for cross-industry growth. Organized by TAAPMA (established 1969), the association represents roughly 90 percent of the regional plastics turnover. It serves as a vital bridge between industrial manufacturing units and government departments to streamline policies.
