India will host two complementary events at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi in September 2025. World Food India 2025, organised by the Ministry of Food Processing Industries from 25 to 28 September, is designed to showcase India’s food processing sector, attract investment, promote innovation, and strengthen global trade linkages. Running alongside this, the Global Food Regulators Summit 2025, convened by FSSAI under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare on 26 and 27 September, will bring together regulators and policymakers to focus on food safety, harmonisation of standards, and consumer health.
Although distinct in scope, the two events are deliberately scheduled side by side to create synergy. World Food India highlights the economic and trade potential of the sector, while the Global Regulators Summit addresses governance and safety concerns. Together they underline India’s intent to balance growth with regulatory oversight in building a resilient, competitive, and consumer-oriented food system.
The twin events signal India’s integrated approach to policy: encouraging global investment in food processing while simultaneously strengthening regulatory frameworks. This coordination across ministries is key for scaling innovation without compromising public health.
