Cybersecurity for Defence & Homeland Security
Securing India's skies, borders and networks — under one roof. India's newest B2B platform for cyber-defence and homeland-security technology, co-located with AeroDef India Expo's 7th edition and the launch edition of Homeland Security Show.
Ten verticals with AeroDef India Expo, 7th Edition — 250+ exhibitors and 7,200+ visitors in its 2026 edition alone.
01 · Background & size of the market
India's defence and internal-security establishment is digitising faster than ever — and becoming a target, not just a buyer of technology.
That shift is creating a distinct, fast-growing category of demand that sits between two of India's best-established trade platforms: aerospace & defence manufacturing, and homeland security.
A record defence budget
Union Budget 2026-27's all-time-high allocation to the Ministry of Defence — roughly 2% of India's GDP, with capital outlay for modernisation up 21.8%.
A compounding cybersecurity market
India's cybersecurity market in 2025-26, per independent industry estimates — projected past $35–44B by the early-to-mid 2030s.
A growing combined security market
India's cyber and physical/homeland security market together, 2025 vs. projected 2034 — a decade of sustained double-digit growth.
A threat landscape moving fast
Cyber incidents handled by CERT-In in 2025, up from 20.41 lakh in 2024 — cyber-defence has moved from planned to urgent.
A manufacturing base that's also a buyer
India's defence exports hit a record high, as the DPSU, OEM and MSME base expands — each one a cybersecurity buyer protecting its own IP and supply chain.

2026 wasn't a hypothetical — it was a live campaign
India saw a coordinated cyberattack campaign against government and critical-infrastructure systems, including sustained distributed-denial-of-service activity against government portals and large-scale probing of power-grid infrastructure. For defence and homeland-security planners, this is the moment cyber-defence budgets stopped being a future conversation.

Tell us which side of the floor you're on
A captive, high-quality audience from day one — 85% of AeroDef attendees are decision-makers or key influencers, without the cost or time of building a new show's footfall from zero.
Founding-exhibitor visibility — first-mover positioning in a launch edition dedicated to cyber-defence and homeland security.
Direct access to 200+ officials expected at the cluster, including DRDO, HAL, ISRO and Ministry of Defence delegations.
One stall, three exhibitions' worth of buyers — aerospace & defence manufacturing, cybersecurity, and homeland security in a single visit.
Funded buying intent, not just interest — a record ₹7.85L Cr defence budget and a cybersecurity market compounding at 14–18% a year.
Timed to genuine urgency — 2026's 44% surge in CERT-In-handled incidents has moved cyber-defence budgets from planned to immediate.
Aligned with Aatmanirbhar Bharat — meet a fast-expanding base of domestic manufacturers who are themselves becoming cybersecurity buyers.
Facilitated B2B meetings — AeroDef's past editions have delivered 500+ matched meetings, plus conference platforms to present to policy and technical audiences.
One badge, three exhibitions — benchmark aerospace & defence manufacturing, cybersecurity and homeland-security solutions in a single visit to Delhi.
See the full cyber-physical stack in one place, as modern threats increasingly cross both the digital and physical domain at once.
Meet Indian and international providers side by side, comparing indigenous and global technology on the same floor.
Free visitor registration.
Conference sessions, expert panels and policy discussions relevant to your planning and procurement cycle.
Facilitated business-matchmaking with peers across the armed forces, CAPFs, state police, PSUs and private critical-infrastructure operators.
One trip for multiple stakeholders — procurement, IT security and operations teams can all find relevant exhibitors under one roof.
06 · Advantages of co-location
Why this launches inside AeroDef, not next to it
Instant credibility and footfall
AeroDef enters its 7th edition with an established base — 250+ exhibitors and 7,200+ visitors in 2026 alone — that the new shows inherit from day one.
Genuine audience overlap
Defence and aerospace manufacturers are themselves major cybersecurity buyers, protecting their own IP, supply chains and production systems.
One trip for government delegations
MoD, DRDO, HAL and armed-forces visitors attending AeroDef can engage with cyber and homeland-security offerings in the same visit.
Shared marketing reach
AeroDef's existing network of defence-focused media partners already reaches exactly the audience the new shows need.
Combined scale, bigger story
Three shows under one roof create a single, unmissable national-security week — a stronger draw for exhibitors, delegations and press than any one show alone.
Proven venue and operations
Co-location draws on AeroDef's established relationships with Delhi's exhibition infrastructure, reducing execution risk for a launch edition.
07 · Event snapshot
The cluster, at a glance
Cluster-wide targets are built on AeroDef India's own trajectory (250+ exhibitors and 7,200+ trade visitors projected for its 2026 edition). The two new co-located shows are launch editions and will build their own audience from this established base.
