Stall fabricators across India

What a city page covers

This is the geography of our work: 119 cities, 1,461 venues and 28 states and union territories. Each city has its own page, and each of those pages exists because the stall barely changes between cities while everything around it does — the access route, the build-up window, the organiser's paperwork, the local labour and material market, and how far the stand has to travel from a workshop.

A city page carries the venues in that city, the services available there, the local build-up and approval detail, the space-planning and lead-time tables, and the questions worth asking a fabricator working in that market. All 31 services are available in every city, so the page tells you about the place rather than about a reduced menu.

Coverage here means our crews work there, not that we claim an office on every high street. That distinction matters when you are choosing a partner: what you need is someone who knows the hall, has done the organiser's submission before and can get a truck to the loading bay in the slot you were allocated.

Tier 1 and Tier 2, and why we separate them

The 15 Tier 1 cities carry most of India's large international show calendar. They have purpose-built exhibition centres, the tightest build-up slots, the most demanding organiser paperwork and the highest concentration of competing projects during the season, so a stand there benefits most from arriving pre-assembled.

The 104 Tier 2 cities carry regional trade fairs, agri and machinery shows, government exhibitions, dealer meets and consumer expos. The halls are more often convention centres, ballrooms, stadiums and open grounds, which changes what a stall should be made of rather than how good it needs to be. For exhibitors selling into those markets, this is where the buyers are.

Coverage by state

The table is derived from the city list, so the counts cannot drift. Use it to see where a show programme concentrates before you plan the logistics around it.

Grouped by state. Each link opens the city page with its venues, build-up detail and local lead times.

What actually changes city to city

Not the design. A 36 sq.m custom stand is the same engineering problem in Pune as in Coimbatore. What changes is everything that decides whether it is standing, lit and clean when the doors open.

How to use these pages

If you know your city, open its page. If you know your venue, go to the venue directory instead — it is organised by city and venue type, and the venue page will tell you what we would plan differently there. If you know only the service, start from the service page; every one of them links through to the cities.
