H-Circle Product Innovation Awards Returns for Fifth Edition at 19th HGH India 2026

Awards will recognise innovation across home textiles, décor, furniture, houseware and gifts during HGH India from June 30 to July 3 in Mumbai.

HGH India has announced the fifth edition of the H-Circle Product Innovation Awards, which will be held during the 19th HGH India from June 30 to July 3, 2026, at the Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai.

The awards are open to exhibitors in the categories of Home Textiles, Home Decor, Home Furniture, Houseware and Gifts. Entries are evaluated as individual products, with recognition based on product quality and innovation.

For this edition, HGH India has entered into a strategic partnership with the Institute of Indian Interior Designers (IIID, MRC). Under this collaboration, IIID will be integrated into the award evaluation and presentation process. The partnership also includes knowledge-sharing programmes and formalises the participation of the national architecture and interior design community during the exhibition.

Product nominations will be assessed by an independent five-member jury comprising design academicians, interior designers, retail experts and trade editors.

The evaluation will cover products displayed across three exhibition zones: Hall 6 for textiles and sleep products, Hall 2 for décor and lifestyle accessories, and Hall 4 for houseware and kitchen appliances. The jury will assess physical entries using technical, functional, aesthetic and ecological parameters. Consumer utility and ecological compatibility will also form part of the evaluation process.

All nominated products will be showcased in a curated central display area, providing commercial buyers, developers and project specifiers with a dedicated product discovery zone during the exhibition.

The winners will be announced and honoured during the official H-Circle Awards Night on the evening of June 30, 2026, attended by members of the industry.
