Plumbex India 2026 is supported by two key Ministries of the Government of India — the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) and the Ministry of Jal Shakti (MoJS) — reinforcing its alignment with national priorities on water security, sanitation, and sustainable urban development.
The Plumbex India continues its legacy as a leading industry platform that brings together manufacturers, developers, architects, consultants, policymakers, contractors, and innovators under one roof to shape the future of India’s building services ecosystem.
As the largest and most influential platform for the plumbing, water, sanitation and building industry, Plumbex India has spent decades catalysing sectoral growth, contributing to standardization, and introducing global technologies to the Indian market. Over the years, it has played a pivotal role in advancing the plumbing and sanitation sector by creating a unified platform for knowledge exchange, innovation showcases, and business collaboration. Previous editions have attracted thousands of visitors and hundreds of exhibitors, reinforcing its role in driving industry growth, innovation adoption, and sustainable practices across the construction and infrastructure value chain.
Why Bengaluru?
Plumbex India has evolved beyond an exhibition — it is a catalyst for industry transformation. By connecting manufacturers, start-ups, and solution providers with architects, real estate developers, and MEP consultants, the platform enables meaningful partnerships that translate into real-world projects and scalable impact.
With Bengaluru expanding rapidly and facing unique urban water management challenges, Plumbex India 2026 serves as a critical convergence point for brands to showcase solutions in a market actively seeking Net-Zero Water buildings, smart water systems, and advanced MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) technologies.
