The doors are scheduled to open on the 20th of May, 2026.

The three-day exhibition is expected to host over 200 exhibitors and attract more than 15,000 business visitors, industry professionals, policymakers, and defence personnel. The event will showcase cutting-edge technologies across domains such as defence electronics, AI-driven systems, cybersecurity, aerospace engineering, unmanned platforms, communication systems, and advanced manufacturing. The exhibition floor will reflect the rapidly evolving landscape of indigenous innovation and international collaboration.

A strong highlight of DefTech Bharat 2026 is the significant participation from global companies representing countries including the UK, France, Australia, Germany, Singapore, Russia, Italy, Japan, and China. This international presence underscores India’s growing importance as a strategic technology and defence manufacturing hub, while also fostering cross-border partnerships, technology transfers, and joint ventures.

The exhibition will also feature an extensive conference program covering diverse and future-oriented technology topics. Thought leaders, domain experts, and senior industry executives will engage in discussions on emerging trends such as AI-native defence systems, next-generation communication networks, electronic warfare, and smart manufacturing. These knowledge sessions are designed to complement the exhibition by offering deep insights and facilitating meaningful dialogue among stakeholders.

Strategically located in Bengaluru, the venue offers excellent connectivity and ease of access. The KTPO complex is conveniently accessible from the airport and is well connected through the city’s expanding metro rail network, ensuring seamless travel for both domestic and international visitors.
