Bharat Print Expo 2026: Tamil Nadu Roadshow to Promote Printing Industry Growth
To enhance engagement across South India’s printing sector, the All India Federation of Master Printers (AIFMP), in collaboration with ReEnvision Events Private Limited, has announced a Tamil Nadu–wide promotional roadshow for Bharat Print Expo 2026. Branded as “Achchu Payanam” (Print Journey), the initiative aims to connect printers across the state ahead of the upcoming exhibition.
Bharat Print Expo 2026 is scheduled to be held from April 27 to 29, 2026, at the Chennai Trade Centre. The roadshow will precede the exhibition and will be conducted between March 25 and April 5, 2026, travelling across key printing clusters in Tamil Nadu.
The programme is being supported by the Tamil Nadu Master Printers’ Federation (TMPF) and The Madras Printers & Lithographers’ Association (MPLA). Its primary objective is to create awareness about the Expo while encouraging professional interaction, knowledge exchange, and cooperation among printing businesses throughout the region.
MPLA President Mr. Jolly Peter stated:
“Bharat Print Expo 2026 and the Tamil Nadu Road Show are significant initiatives that celebrate the strength and innovation of our industry. With MPLA’s support, these events will foster collaboration and knowledge exchange, highlighting the future of printing and packaging.”
TMPF President Mr. M. Senthil Kumar added:
“Tamil Nadu has long been a cornerstone of India’s printing industry. This Road Show is a meaningful initiative that takes the vision of Bharat Print Expo 2026 directly to printers across the state.”
The promotional campaign will formally begin on March 1, 2026, during the COROMANDAL CONCLAVE (Printers’ Day Celebration) organised by MPLA at Hotel Savera, Chennai. More than 500 printers and industry professionals from different parts of Tamil Nadu are expected to attend. The conclave will act as the first platform to generate industry awareness and participation for the Expo.
