BIEC Bangalore: A Practical Guide for Exhibition Visitors

The Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC) on Tumkur Road hosts some of India's largest trade shows and B2B exhibitions. Whether you are exhibiting or visiting, this guide helps you plan the trip.

About BIEC

BIEC is a large, purpose-built exhibition venue on Tumkur Road (NH-48) near Madavara, on the north-western edge of Bangalore. It hosts industrial, manufacturing, technology, construction, jewellery and healthcare exhibitions through the year. For upcoming shows, see our BIEC events calendar.

Getting to BIEC

  • Namma Metro: the Green Line extends towards Madavara, near BIEC. Check the current BMRCL route map and timings before you travel.
  • Cab or auto: the simplest option from most parts of the city. Tumkur Road traffic can be heavy in the morning, so leave early on opening day.
  • Driving: exhibitions usually have designated parking - follow the organiser's instructions, as arrangements change from show to show.
  • From the airport: expect a long drive from Kempegowda International Airport; allow extra time on arrival day.

Tips for exhibitors and visitors

  1. Register online in advance. Most trade shows offer pre-registration, which is faster than on-site registration.
  2. Carry business cards and ID. Many B2B shows scan badges or ask for business identification.
  3. Wear comfortable shoes. The halls are large and you will walk a lot.
  4. Plan meetings by hall and stall number. Download the exhibitor list or show app if one is available.
  5. Book accommodation early. Hotel demand rises across the city during the biggest shows.
