Mumbai is set to shine as the hub of stainless steel innovation with the fourth edition of the Global Stainless Steel Expo (GSSE) at the Bombay Exhibition Centre (BEC). Organised by Virgo Communications & Exhibitions, this international trade fair will take place from 16-18 September 2027.

The expo aims to drive innovation and collaboration within the industry. Building on earlier successes, GSSE 2027 will give manufacturers, suppliers, and innovators a platform to showcase products and services.

This edition of the GSSE holds special importance as it supports the ‘Make in India’ initiative. The three-day grand expo, hosting 200+ exhibitors and 15,000+ visitors, will grow bigger and better. It will serve as a focused international B2B exhibition-cum-conference that brings the top industry players under one roof.

Key Highlights

• Focused B2B exhibition-cum-conference bringing leading stainless steel players under one roof.
• Buyer-seller meetings enabling targeted business discussions.

Industry Impact

A joint report by Steelmint and Global Stainless Steel Expo projects India’s steel production to grow at 9 per cent annually until 2030. Over the past two decades, stainless steel consumption in India has increased nearly tenfold. The country is the second-largest producer of high-quality stainless steel and one of the fastest-growing global markets.

India has also emerged as a leading stainless steel exporter. Changing perceptions of the material have unlocked new applications across sectors. Today, stainless steel is widely used in Architecture, Building & Construction (ABC), Automotive, Railway and Transportation (ART), and Chemical & Food Processing. This confirms India’s status as the fastest-growing stainless steel market in the world.

GSSE’s vision is to take India’s stainless steel industry to the global stage. The expo actively connects with consumers from different countries. These visitors, together with their Indian counterparts, become potential clients for exhibitors. The event welcomes organisations aiming to develop sustainable solutions for global energy and national priorities.
