The release by the organisers said, “In light of the constantly changing global situation relating to the Covid-19 virus, lockdown in India that was extended until 3 May, and with a long battle ahead of us all, we have continued to monitor the impact it is having not just on our industry, which is at great pain, but on society in general. Many external and internal meetings took place and we reviewed various options about how, when and in what form to organise PackPlus Delhi and what is best for the industry. After consultations with key industry stakeholders, it became apparent that the best course of action, and with everyone’s best interests in mind, is to postpone the event.”

The previous edition of PackPlus Delhi saw almost 350 exhibitors and nearly 20,000 high quality trade visitors.

“We continue our relentless effort to further build and enhance a top quality exhibitor and visitor audience that is a trademark of our event, making it the leading packaging trade show in India. While these are uncertain times, we are working hard to be ready and prepared for October,” the release said.

It said the organisers will continue to closely monitor the on-going situation and remain in close contact with all PackPlus stakeholders over the coming weeks and months.
