IPCA Expo 2027 Set for 7-9 January in New Delhi

14 October 2026: The Indian Printed Circuit Association has scheduled IPCA Expo 2027 for 7-9 January 2027 in Hall 1 at Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi. Its 18th IPCA Electronics Expo aims to connect PCB and electronics manufacturers with equipment and materials suppliers, helping visitors compare production options and discuss business opportunities.

What will IPCA Expo 2027 cover?

The organiser’s exhibitor profile spans printed circuit board manufacturers, PCB assembly equipment, inspection and testing systems, membrane keyboards, and production inputs such as copper foil, inks and chemicals. It also lists electronic components, including connectors, displays, switches and cables.

The equipment categories include cutting, grinding, cleaning, drilling, punching and laminating. The organiser also lists soldering systems and solder alloys, so the stated scope covers several fabrication and assembly steps rather than a single production technology.

The advertised scope therefore extends beyond bare-board manufacturing to assembly and wider electronics supply needs. The visitor profile targets companies working in automotive electronics, telecommunications, industrial electronics, renewable energy and medical electronics, among other sectors.

These categories describe the planned exhibition’s scope. They do not establish which individual machines, materials or component models exhibitors will demonstrate at the January edition.

India’s PCB supply-chain priorities

The manufacturing context extends beyond equipment purchases. ELCINA’s official PCB roadmap identifies dependence on imports and proposes support for domestic production and its supporting supply chain.

Screen Print India’s coverage of ELCINA’s PCB development roadmap explains those local-manufacturing concerns. For buyers preparing for the fair, that context makes supplier capability, material availability and dependable sourcing useful subjects to discuss with prospective partners.

Why should screen printers follow the event?

Membrane keyboards and inks provide direct links between the published event profile and industrial printing. Screen Print India’s report on screen printing for PCBs describes board-marking and keyboard-graphics applications, showing how established printing processes already serve electronics manufacturers.

Conductive inks belong to the wider printed-electronics discussion. Coverage of conductive ink materials discusses different ink types and applications, including printed circuits and sensors.

The expo lists inks broadly, but its published materials do not confirm particular conductive formulations, printed sensors or functional-coating demonstrations for 2027. Visitors interested in these applications should confirm relevant exhibitors and products rather than assume that the general electronics profile guarantees their presence.

Organisers and planned programme

IPCA organises the exhibition and identifies ACEXM7 Events (P) Ltd. as its event partner. The official 2027 brochure promotes live demonstrations, display sessions and a startup/MSME pavilion.

The organiser presents the fair as a meeting point for manufacturers, buyers and technology developers, with networking and potential supplier partnerships among its stated aims.

Visitor hours and registration

The official event website lists daily opening hours of 10:00 am to 6:00 pm and free visitor entry following registration. Its admission guidance covers electronics and PCB professionals, related businesses and relevant students.

Visitors can use the product profile to prepare questions about compatibility with existing processes and production support. For printing suppliers, a shortlist of relevant PCB or keyboard manufacturers would be more useful than treating every electronics category as a potential customer.

Companies planning a visit should check the latest exhibitor list, programme and registration information before travelling, especially when a particular machine, ink system or technical session is the reason for attending.
