Since its inception in 2017, Indusfood has become a significant platform showcasing India’s dynamic food economy while connecting global businesses with the nation’s expanding food and beverage sector. The 8th edition of Indusfood, Asia’s premier Food and Beverage (F&B) Trade Show, was inaugurated by Chirag Paswan, Union Minister of Food Processing Industries, on January 8, 2025 at the India Exposition Mart Ltd., in Greater Noida, Gautam Budh Nagar. The event is scheduled to continue until January 10.
Organised by the Trade Promotion Council of India (TPCI) with support from the Department of Commerce, the event has consistently evolved, reflecting the growth of India’s F&B industry. In 2024, it welcomed international exhibitors for the first time, signalling its growing stature as a truly global trade fair. This year, Indusfood 2025 marks another milestone, transitioning into an integrated farm-to-fork trade show that underscores India’s commitment to sustainable and comprehensive food systems.
This evolution reflects India's growing prominence in the global food landscape, positioning Indusfood as a key platform for showcasing the nation's potential. With 15 agroclimatic zones, India is capable of producing a diverse range of agricultural crops. Supported by progressive government policies, a robust agricultural resource base, a rapidly developing processed food sector, and a booming consumer market, India is emerging as a hub of opportunity. As the driving force behind the future of the global food industry, the country continues to offer immense potential for international trade and investment. Indusfood plays a vital role in bridging global markets and fostering partnerships in India’s thriving food economy.
Key Highlights of Indusfood 2025
Indusfood 2025 will feature 1,800 exhibitors from over 20 countries, with an expansive exhibition space of more than 80,000 square metres. The event is expected to attract over 5,000 international buyers from 180+ countries and over 100 supermarket chains and e-retailers, making it a key platform for global business connections. This edition will mark a significant milestone as Indusfood debuts as an integrated farm-to-fork trade show.
The 2025 edition will also witness participation from 35 international chefs and 100 Indian delegates, alongside professionals from Delhi NCR. With a diverse international audience, the show offers Indian food companies a unique opportunity to expand their reach beyond just the Indian diaspora and tap into native populations in global markets.
Growth of Indusfood
Since its inception, Indusfood has witnessed remarkable growth in both scale and impact, underscoring its immense value proposition for exhibitors and buyers alike. The event began in 2017 as a focused platform to connect Indian food and beverage producers with international markets. In 2018, the second edition of Indusfood featured just 320 exhibitors. Fast forward to 2025, the event has grown exponentially, hosting over 1,800 exhibitors, showcasing an impressive expansion that reflects the dynamic evolution of India’s food and beverage industry.
This growth trajectory is a testament to Indusfood’s dedication to fostering meaningful business connections and facilitating on-the-spot business deals. Such efforts have played a catalytic role in bolstering India’s food and beverage exports, with a particular focus on the processed food sector. By providing a robust platform for networking, collaboration, and trade, Indusfood has significantly enhanced India’s visibility in global markets.

In addition to the 8th edition of Indusfood, TPCI is organizing two key concurrent events from January 8 to 10, 2025, at India Expo Mart, Greater Noida. These include the fourth edition of Indusfood Manufacturing and the inaugural edition of Indusfood Agritech, both set to take place from January 9 to 11, 2025, at Yashobhoomi Dwarka, New Delhi.

Indusfood 2025 marks a significant milestone in the growth of India’s food and beverage industry, showcasing the nation's expanding potential in the global market. As an integrated farm-to-fork trade show, it not only highlights India’s diverse agricultural capabilities but also underscores its commitment to sustainable food systems. The event’s impressive scale, with participation from exhibitors, international buyers, chefs, and industry professionals, demonstrates the growing influence of India’s food economy. With concurrent shows like Indusfood Manufacturing and Indusfood Agritech, the event further cements its role as a comprehensive platform for fostering global business partnerships and driving innovation across the food and agricultural sectors.
