India’s wires and cables industry, valued at nearly Rs90,000 crore, is expected to reach Rs1,57,500 crore by FY30. The growth is being driven by rising demand in housing, renewable energy expansion, and upgrades in telecom and infrastructure. The sector is seen as an important part of engineering, infrastructure, and manufacturing systems. To strengthen the industry ecosystem, Messe Stuttgart has announced the addition of Cable & Wire Fair, an exhibition focused on the wire and cable industry, along with Wire & Cable India magazine, to its portfolio.
This marks a step in the company’s expansion in India’s industrial sectors and reflects Messe Stuttgart’s focus on industry platforms that support collaboration and global integration. The industry is expected to gain greater access to international buyers, technology providers, and business opportunities through Messe Stuttgart’s global network.
As global supply chains shift and the China+1 strategy gains momentum, India has emerged as a manufacturing hub. In this context, Wire & Cable India magazine, launched in 2011, and Cable & Wire Fair, launched in 2015, have provided a business platform for the industry, supporting the sector’s growth and contributing to the “Make in India” initiative.
Roland Bleinroth, CEO of Messe Stuttgart said in a statement, “India is one of the most dynamic and strategically important markets for us globally. The addition of Cable & Wire Fair and Wire & Cable India magazine in our portfolio reflects our commitment to investing in sectors that are not only growing rapidly but are also critical to the future of global manufacturing and infrastructure. With our international expertise and network, we see strong potential to further strengthen this platform as a key meeting point for the global wire and cable industry.”
The biennial show has expanded over six editions in terms of scale and participation, becoming a major platform for the sector in India. The 2025 edition brought together 424 exhibitors and over 16,393 visitors, including 89 international exhibitors from 24 countries, reflecting its growing international participation and its role in connecting India’s manufacturing and engineering sectors with global markets.
The 7th edition of the show is scheduled to be held from 9–11 December 2027 at the Yashobhoomi Convention and Exhibition Centre in Dwarka, New Delhi.
Gaurav Sood, CEO & Managing Director, Messe Stuttgart India, added, “Cable & Wire Fair has already established itself as a powerful industry platform with strong credibility and momentum. Our vision is to build on this foundation by bringing in Messe Stuttgart’s global standards of exhibition excellence and stronger international participation. The addition of the show to Messe Stuttgart's portfolio marks far more than an expansion; it represents the coming together of two aligned visions to build a stronger, future-ready platform that reflects the evolving ambitions of India’s manufacturing ecosystem.”
Messe Stuttgart, via its subsidiary Messe Stuttgart India, will work in close collaboration with Priyank Jain, founder of Cable & Wire Fair and Wire & Cable India Magazine, to further elevate the show’s positioning.
Priyank Jain, Co-founder of Tulip 3P Media, said, “Cable & Wire Fair was built with a clear intent, to create a unified, growth-oriented platform for the industry. Over the years, it has evolved into a space where business, knowledge, and innovation come together in a meaningful way. Partnering with Messe Stuttgart India is a natural next step in this journey. Their global perspective, combined with our industry insight, will help unlock the next phase of growth and deliver even greater value to all stakeholders.”
