Tools & Equipment Expo 2026 brings four legacy shows together under one roof in New Delhi
The Tools & Equipment Expo (TAEE) 2026 opens from 17–19 September at Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, bringing manufacturers, technology providers, distributors, dealers and industry professionals together on one platform. Organised by Informa Markets in India, TAEE consolidates four well-established shows: the Hand Tools & Fasteners Expo (HTF), Cutting & Welding Expo (CWE), International Machine Tools Expo (IMEX) and Used Machinery Expo (UMEX) into a single unified event built on a 24 year legacy.
The scale reflects that consolidation, with the three-day show expected to feature more than 300 exhibitors, over 2000 products and 150+ new product launches spanning hand and power tools, machine tools, cutting and welding technologies, fasteners, automation and sustainable equipment. Beyond the exhibits, businesses will get room to showcase new products, explore sourcing partnerships and connect directly with distributors, OEMs and other industry buyers, with live demonstrations giving attendees hands-on exposure to the latest tools and machinery.
A key thread running through this year’s edition is the growing integration of technology, automation and smart solutions within industrial tools and manufacturing - a shift Wouter Molman, Chief Commercial Officer at Informa Markets, tied to India’s manufacturing sector playing a defining role in future global supply chains, speaking at the expo’s formal unveiling at the HTF-CWE Expo.
For India’s exhibition industry, TAEE is a clear example of consolidation as a growth strategy, merging niche legacy platforms into one larger, higher visibility event rather than competing separately. Its presence at Bharat Mandapam adds further weight to New Delhi’s growing calendar of industrial and technology focused trade exhibitions, reinforcing the capital’s role as a hub for large scale manufacturing sector engagement.
