Messe Düsseldorf India reschedules trade fairs for 2022

Because of the effects and uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, Messe Düsseldorf India has decided to reschedule the combined staging of the wire India, Tube India, METEC India, and India Essen Cutting & Welding trade fairs. Originally scheduled for September 2021, the four events now will take place Nov. 23-25, 2022, at the Bombay Exhibition Center in Mumbai.

“Our objective remains to support the economic recovery by providing a leading platform for conducting businesses safely and effectively at our trade fairs,” said Thomas Schlitt, managing director of Messe Düsseldorf India. “But the recent development in the pandemic situation does not allow a reliable planning for our trade fairs in India for the next few months. These circumstances make it impossible to hold the Indian Metal Fairs in September 2021. The decision to reschedule the trade fairs to November 2022 was made after careful evaluation of the situation together with our partners and key stakeholders.

“We trust that by 2022 the international travel restrictions will be lifted and we will again see a large international participation given the international nature of our events.”
