Delhi, [India] September 22, 2025: Bilateral trade between India and Taiwan has grown rapidly in recent years, expanding into sectors such as electronics, EVs, renewable energy, semiconductors, and healthcare. Taiwan’s strengths in advanced manufacturing, ICT, and green solutions align closely with India’s priorities under Digital India, Make in India, and the IndiaAI Mission, laying a strong foundation for deeper cooperation.
The flagship event for Taiwan–India economic and trade exchanges, Taiwan Expo 2025 in India will be held from September 25–27 at Bharat Mandapam (Pragati Maidan), Hall 1 in New Delhi, focusing on four themes—Smart Manufacturing, Smart Technology, Green Innovation, and Wellness Fiesta. A total of 107 Taiwanese companies will showcase innovative products and comprehensive solutions.
A pre-expo press conference was organized today (17th, India time), attended by representatives from Taipei Economic and Cultural Center in India, the India Trade Promotion Organisation (ITPO), as well as other Taiwan–India trade and industry bodies. Supporting organizations including the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI), the Engineering Export Promotion Council (EEPC), the Trade Promotion Council of India (TPCI), and the Electronic Industries Association of India (ELCINA) also sent representatives to attend the event.
Mr. Keven Cheng, Deputy Director of TAITRA, stated that amid tariff challenges and global supply chain realignments, India’s vast domestic market, abundant talent pool, and strategic location have made it an indispensable new manufacturing hub for Taiwanese enterprises. Since its launch in 2018, Taiwan Expo has been held for eight consecutive years, underscoring the foresight of government efforts to help enterprises diversify their markets. It has become a vital platform for Taiwanese companies to expand in India, with both sides already achieving results in areas such as semiconductors, electronics manufacturing, ICT, and smart machinery.
Ms. Yu-Chi Chen, Executive Director of the Economic Division, Taipei Economic and Cultural Center in India, noted that Taiwan–India bilateral trade reached a record high of USD 10.6 billion in 2024, demonstrating strong momentum in economic cooperation. Meanwhile, the number of Taiwanese enterprises investing in India has surged more than threefold compared to 2017, now exceeding 250 companies. This reflects the deepening integration of the Taiwan–India industrial value chain and growing commitment by Taiwanese businesses to the Indian market.
The press conference featured a preview of selected highlights. Advantech, a global leader in industrial computers, will present its industrial PCs; Zyxel will showcase its security routers and access point solutions; Proscend Communications Inc., a leader in Industrial IoT connectivity, will highlight its industrial routers and switches; and IPEVO, a top visual solutions brand, will display its versatile video collaboration devices. Meanwhile, TAISYS Technologies, a global leader in thin SIM card solutions, will unveil its newly developed drone, highlighting Taiwan’s innovation and cross-domain integration capabilities.
To tap into India’s enormous consumer market, this year’s Expo is being held concurrently with World Food India, the country’s largest food exhibition. A special Taiwan Select Food Pavilion will showcase Taiwan’s diverse food offerings. Highlights include premium air-dried noodles by A-Sha Foods, innovative plant-based jerky and meal kits from HOYA Next Meats, and instant boba milk tea kits by DR. Diary Co., Ltd., all of which were unveiled in advance at the press conference.
Amid recent changes in geopolitical dynamics and global supply chains, Taiwan and India have increasingly strengthened ties in technology and electronics manufacturing. Taiwanese companies are drawn to India not only for its vast market potential but also as a key base for establishing deeper roots, aiming for greater mutual benefits. This year’s Taiwan Expo not only invites many Taiwanese companies venturing into the Indian market for the first time but also serves as an important promotional platform for businesses already established in India. Among them, Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn), a major Taiwanese enterprise with an established presence in India, has decided to participate in the exhibition. Taiwan and India have been actively promoting economic, trade, and talent exchanges in recent years. For India, Taiwan is undoubtedly a reliable partner. The Taiwan Expo in India provides Taiwanese and Indian entrepreneurs with more opportunities to explore collaboration, fostering a brighter future for innovation and economic growth.
