LIBF 2026 Bookings Begin: Mumbai Gears Up for India's Biggest Business Exhibition at Jio World Drive
LIBF 2026 is expected to be a powerhouse platform bringing together over 30 countries and 34 sectors under one roof positioning it as India's premier destination for business networking, partnerships, and innovation.
Speaking at the announcement event, Mr. Vijay Karia, Director of LIBF, described the fair not just as an exhibition but as a 'complete business ecosystem.' He emphasized that LIBF 2026 is designed to deliver real outcomes: from customer acquisition and supply chain connections to financing and global collaborations. 'This is a platform where exhibitors and visitors alike can expect business not just visibility,' he said.
A Global Marketplace for Business From established conglomerates and multinational corporations to MSMEs, start-ups, and financiers LIBF 2026 promises to be a diverse confluence of players from across the business spectrum. Sectors represented will include manufacturing, agritech, green energy, fintech, real estate, retail, and more.
What sets this exhibition apart is its intentional focus on business conversion. Exhibitors won't just be showcasing, they'll be selling, partnering, funding, and building long-term associations. Visitors, too, will experience curated access to some of the most progressive, scalable, and investable Indian enterprises.
Key features of LIBF 2026 include: • Access to a global audience of buyers and investors • Opportunities to discover and connect with new supply chain and distribution partners • Interactions with major financial institutions and funding bodies • A platform to explore cross-border trade and joint ventures The choice of Jio World Drive as the host venue reinforces the scale and prestige of the event. With its cutting-edge infrastructure, accessibility, and location in BKC — home to global banks, embassies, and top corporates the venue offers a high-end environment for serious business discussions and networking.
Satish Vithalani, Chairman of LIBF, expressed great enthusiasm about what's ahead. 'We are inviting businesses of all sizes from MSMEs to multinationals — to book their space and be part of a transformative journey. This is where visibility meets viability,' he said. Referring to the overwhelming response from previous editions of LIBF, he added that the excitement surrounding 2026 is even more significant, given India's expanding role as a global business hub.
LIBF 2026 comes at a pivotal moment for India. As the country continues to make strides toward becoming a manufacturing and export powerhouse, the exhibition is expected to act as a vital bridge connecting Indian businesses to global markets.
With major policy tailwinds such as Make in India, Startup India, and a growing global appetite for Indian goods and services, the timing of LIBF couldn't be more apt. The event will serve as a stage to highlight India's capabilities and encourage inbound investment and collaborations.
Bookings Now Open Stall reservations, partnership opportunities, and visitor registrations are now officially open. The organisers are encouraging early bookings to secure prime locations and access tailored networking benefits.
Those interested in participating or attending can reach out via the official LIBF contact channels for more details on booth packages, sponsorship options, and conference schedules.
With its global scale, sectoral diversity, and business-first approach, LIBF 2026 is shaping up to be much more than just a trade exhibition it's a gateway to the future of business in India.

Buy or sell: Sumeet Bagadia recommends three stocks to buy on Monday — 18 August 2025
Buy or sell stocks: The Indian stock market finally snapped a six-week losing streak as extreme oversold conditions and supportive global cues lifted investor sentiment. The Nifty 50 and Sensex ended the week with gains of around 1%, though momentum remained muted due to persistent foreign outflows. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) continued their aggressive selling, offloading nearly ₹ 10,000 crore in the cash market, while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) absorbed the pressure with strong buying worth ₹ 19,000 crore. Broader markets staged a recovery across sectors, led by pharma and auto stocks, though FMCG lagged. Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking, believes the Indian stock market sentiment has improved after successive rallies in two straight sessions. However, the Choice Broking expert said the Nifty is facing an immediate hurdle at 24,650. On breaking above this level on a closing basis, Bagadia predicted another 100-point rally in the 50-stock index. Speaking on the outlook of the Indian stock market, Sumeet Bagadia said, "The Indian stock market bias has improved after the relief rallies on the last two sessions last week; however, the 50-stock index trades in a tight 24,300 to 24,650 range. The broader range of the key benchmark index is 24,000 to 24,800. A bullish or bearish trend can be assumed on the breakage of either side of this range. If the rally extends further, we may see the Nifty 50 index touching 24,800 levels." Sumeet Bagadia of Choice Broking advised investors to maintain a stock-specific approach and look at stocks that look strong on the technical chart. Asked about such stocks, Bagadia recommended buying these three shares: Maruti Suzuki India Ltd, Bajaj Finserv, and Power Grid Corporation of India. 1] MSIL: Buy at ₹ 12,936, Target ₹ 14,300, Stop Loss ₹ 12,300. Maruti Suzuki India Ltd's share price is currently ₹ 12,936, consolidating within a defined range over recent sessions. The stock is now on the verge of breaking out of this range, with price action supported by consistent trading volumes, a sign of steady accumulation and strong market participation. If Maruti Suzuki India Ltd's share manages to sustain above the ₹ 13,000 mark, it could confirm the breakout and open the door for further upside toward higher targets. Such a move would indicate the continuation of its prevailing bullish trend. Momentum indicators back this view. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 63.90, trending upwards, signalling strengthening momentum. Maruti Suzuki India Ltd's share price is comfortably trading above all its key moving averages, short-term, medium-term, and long-term EMAs, which suggests robust underlying strength and a supportive trend structure. From a price action standpoint, the consolidation near the highs and volume-backed breakout potential point toward bullish dominance and an attractive risk-reward opportunity. Given the emerging technical setup, traders may consider buying Maruti Suzuki India Ltd shares at the current market price of ₹ 12,936, with a stop-loss set at ₹ 12,300 to manage downside risk. A sustained move above ₹ 13,000 could propel the share price toward the ₹ 14,300 target in the near term. 2] Bajaj Finserv: Buy at ₹ 1925.10, Target ₹ 2130, Target ₹ 1830. Bajaj Finserv's share is currently trading at ₹ 1,925.10, having seen a strong upmove from lower levels in the past. After a record high, the stock witnessed a healthy retracement, allowing it to cool off from overbought conditions. Recently, it has been taking support from its long-term EMA, a key dynamic support level, and is now showing early signs of a potential reversal. A sustainable move above ₹ 1,980 could confirm this reversal and open the door for further upside in the near term. Such a move would suggest that the bulls are regaining control after the corrective phase. Momentum indicators support this outlook. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 39.84 and shows a reversal from lower levels with a positive crossover, indicating an emerging uptrend. Additionally, Bajaj Finserv's share is trading above its long-term EMA and is now approaching its short-term and medium-term EMAs, signalling improving technical strength. From a price action perspective, the rebound from the long-term EMA combined with early momentum recovery suggests that the downside risk is limited, making the current setup attractive from a risk-reward standpoint. Given the emerging reversal signals, traders may consider buying Bajaj Finserv shares at the current market price of ₹ 1,925.10, with a stop-loss set at ₹ 1,830 to manage downside risk. A sustained move above ₹ 1,980 could propel the stock toward the ₹ 2,130 target soon. 3] Power Grid Corporation of India: Buy at ₹ 288.70, Target ₹ 320, Stop Loss ₹ 275. Power Grid Corporation of India's share price is currently trading at ₹ 288.70. After bouncing from lower levels, the stock has entered a consolidation phase within a defined range. This consolidation has also taken the shape of an Ascending Triangle pattern on the daily timeframe. The stock is currently taking support near the lower boundary of this formation, hinting at a potential base for the next directional move. If the stock manages to sustain above the ₹ 300 level, it could confirm a breakout from this pattern and open the way for further upside toward the ₹ 325 target. Such a breakout would mark a shift in momentum from consolidation to bullish continuation. Momentum indicators support this view. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 45.75, showing an upward trend after reversing from lower levels and forming a positive crossover, signalling improving buying interest. Power Grid Corporation of India's share is also trading near its short-term EMA and is approaching its medium-term and long-term EMAs. A sustained move above these levels would further strengthen the bullish case. From a price action standpoint, the combination of firm support at the lower end of the formation and improving momentum suggests the potential for an upward breakout, offering an attractive risk-reward setup. Given these technical signals, traders may consider buying Power Grid Corporation of India shares at the current market price of ₹ 288.70, with a stop-loss set at ₹ 275 to manage downside risk. A sustained move above ₹ 300 could soon drive the stock toward the ₹ 325 target. Disclaimer: This story is for educational purposes only.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi to visit India on Monday
Chinese Foreign Affairs Minister Wang Yi is set to visit India on August 18 (Monday) for the 24th Round of Talks Between the Special Representatives of China and India on the Boundary Question, Beijing confirmed on Saturday. "From August 18 to 20, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, Minister of Foreign Affairs and China's Special Representative on the China-India boundary question Wang Yi will visit India and hold the 24th Round of Talks Between the Special Representatives of China and India on the Boundary Question at the invitation of the Indian side," the Chinese Ministry for Foreign Affairs said in a statement. The visit is scheduled to take place shortly before Prime Minister Narendra Modi travels to China to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit scheduled to take place at Tianjin, from August 31 to September 1. The Chinese side also welcomed PM Modi's participation in the SCO Summit. At a briefing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said, "China welcomes Prime Minister Modi to China for the SCO Tianjin Summit. We believe that with the concerted effort of all parties, the Tianjin summit will be a gathering of solidarity, friendship and fruitful results, and the SCO will enter a new stage of high-quality development featuring greater solidarity, coordination, dynamism and productiveness." According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, leaders of over 20 countries, including all member states of the SCO and heads of 10 international organisations, will attend relevant events of the summit, which, Jiakun said, will be the "largest summit in scale since the establishment of the SCO." This will be PM Modi's first visit to China since the Galwan clash in 2020, which severely strained bilateral ties. The breakthrough in bilateral talks, first after the Galwan Valley face-off between the soldiers of the two countries at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in June 2020, was made possible after India and China reached an agreement on patrolling along the nearly 3500-km LAC to end the four-year-long border confrontation. In July, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar visited China to attend the Meeting of the Council of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs in Tianjin. He also held discussions with his Chinese counterpart on the sidelines of the meeting. He also called on Chinese President Xi Jinping, along with his fellow SCO Foreign Ministers. Earlier in June, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh visited China to attend the SCO Defence Ministers Meeting. India had refused to endorse the joint declaration at the SCO Defence Ministers' meeting, citing the exclusion of concerns around terrorism as a key reason. India stated that it wanted concerns about terrorism reflected in the document, which was not acceptable to one particular country; therefore, the statement was not adopted. During his visit, Singh met his Chinese counterpart, Admiral Don Jun, and the two leaders had a "constructive and forward-looking exchange of views" on issues related to bilateral ties. In June, National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval also visited China to attend the 20th Meeting of the SCO Security Council Secretaries. In his intervention at the meeting, he highlighted the need to shun double standards in the fight against terrorism and take decisive actions against UN-proscribed terrorists and entities like LeT, JeM and their proxies and dismantle their terror eco-systems.

Select Volkswagen dealerships in India are celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi with special benefits on their popular models. Customers can avail savings of up to ₹ 2.10 lakh on the Taigun SUV, while the Virtus sedan is being offered with benefits of up to ₹ 1.75 lakh. The Virtus is available with two petrol powertrain choices. The 1.0-litre TSI engine produces 113 bhp and 178 Nm, paired with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed torque converter automatic. The larger 1.5-litre TSI motor delivers 148 bhp and 250 Nm, and comes with a six-speed manual or a seven-speed DSG automatic. Rivals: The sedan goes up against the Honda City, Hyundai Verna, and its sibling, the Skoda Slavia. Like the Virtus, the Taigun also offers TSI petrol engines with manual and automatic gearbox choices. Positioned in the compact SUV space, it competes with the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Skoda Kushaq, and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder. Volkswagen is preparing to expand its lineup with the upcoming Tayron SUV, which will take the place of the Tiguan AllSpace in the brand's Indian portfolio. The three-row SUV has already been spotted testing on Indian roads and is expected to arrive by late 2025. Styling cues on the Tayron draw inspiration from the Tiguan R-Line, but the SUV is notably longer by 231 mm, offering more cabin space. The front fascia features sleek LED headlamps, a blacked-out grille, and a mesh-patterned air dam. Globally, it is offered with HD Matrix headlamps equipped with Dynamic Light Assist, boasting 19,000 individually controlled LEDs per unit. A full-width LED strip connects the headlamps and integrates an illuminated VW badge, although feature details for the Indian model will be confirmed closer to launch. Under the hood, the Tayron will house the 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine shared with the new Skoda Kodiaq and Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line. This motor generates 200 bhp and 320 Nm, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox.
