India’s manufacturing landscape is gearing up for a business showcase with Bharat Food Expo and Bharat Pack Expo, scheduled from 13–15 November 2025, at the Jaipur Exhibition and Convention Centre (JECC). These concurrent events promise to highlight India’s booming food processing and packaging industries, offering a one-stop platform for innovation, technology, and market potential.
The Indian Food and Beverage Market, valued at ₹24.57 lakh crore in 2023, is on track to nearly double to ₹51.15 lakh crore by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 11.05%. India’s food processing sector, which contributes 32% to the country’s total food market, continues to shine thanks to advancements in processing, packaging, and service technologies. Rajasthan, with more than 956 food processing units, is a leader in agro-processing, offering significant investment opportunities.
The Indian packaging industry, growing annually at 22–25%, has become a critical enabler of innovation for processed foods, beverages, FMCG, and eCommerce. The Bharat Pack Expo will showcase next-generation technologies in packaging, supply chain, and logistics, including automation, robotic solutions, and waste control systems. Experts predict that by 2027, the global supply chain management market will exceed ₹962 crore, with India playing a pivotal role.
The Pink City promise
Rajasthan, celebrated for its cultural richness and heritage, is increasingly recognized as a land of industrial opportunities. At the heart of this transformation lies Jaipur, a city perfectly positioned to lead India’s growth in food processing and packaging technologies. With its rich agricultural landscape and growing technological ecosystem, the city holds the potential to seamlessly bridge the gap between traditional agricultural strengths and cutting-edge industrial innovations.
Jaipur benefits from its strategic location, offering direct access to Rajasthan’s vast agricultural resources. The state is a leading producer of mustard, pearl millet, coriander, and pulses, and Jaipur serves as the logistical gateway for processing and distributing these resources on a global scale. This creates a fertile ground for food processing ventures to thrive. Moreover, investment-friendly policies like those under the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) and dedicated food parks amplify Jaipur’s appeal, reducing operational costs while ensuring world-class infrastructure.
On the technological front, the city is becoming a hotspot for smart and sustainable packaging innovations. The city’s tech-savvy workforce, bolstered by government incentives, is driving advancements in eco-conscious packaging solutions, aligning with the global demand for sustainability in FMCG and food industries. Such synergy between agriculture and technology highlights Jaipur’s ability to lead the next wave of industrial evolution.
Hosting the Bharat Food Expo and Bharat Pack Expo in Jaipur is an opportunity to showcase this untapped potential. These events will not only spotlight the region’s strengths but also position it as a hub for end-to-end food supply chain solutions and intelligent packaging innovations. Jaipur’s central location and proximity to major metro cities further enhance its accessibility, ensuring robust participation from domestic and international stakeholders.
Jaipur’s true potential lies in its ability to marry tradition with modernity. By integrating its agricultural backbone with technological advancements, the city can emerge as a global leader in food processing and packaging technologies. Platforms like these expos will serve as the catalyst, fostering collaborations, driving investments, and unlocking it’s capacity to redefine these industries on a national and international stage.
