About the Organiser
Built by the people who built India's commodity calendar.
Previously the Maize & Millet Summit — two successful editions. In 2026, a dedicated Maize edition, bigger and sharper.
Tefla's is among India's most established commodity and trade event companies, with a track record of convening the markets that matter and the people who move them.
The Maize Markets Summit & Expo 2026 — formerly the Maize & Millet Summit — is the next chapter: a two-day conference + exhibition for everyone whose business touches maize. Production, trade, feed, starch, ethanol — and the market outlook that prices them all.
The summit reads the market: outlook, prices, policy, trade economics. The expo acts on it: seed, technology, processing, storage, logistics and finance, all on the floor. One market. One room. Two ways to win it.
“When demand outruns supply, the people who read it early set the terms. This is that moment — and the room to navigate it meets in Mumbai.”
The Story So Far
Two editions. One clear direction.
From the Maize & Millet Summit to the Maize Markets Summit & Expo — how the industry's meeting point evolved with the market.

1st Edition — Where the conversation started

Maize & Millet Summit · 1st Edition
The idea takes the stage
The first edition brought together the maize and millet value chain under one roof — traders, processors, growers, feed millers and policy voices. A conversation the industry had been waiting to have, finally in one room.
2025 · 2nd Edition
2nd Edition — A full house, a full mandate

Maize & Millet Summit · 2nd Edition
The market catches up
By the 2nd edition, the ethanol story, the feed-demand story and India's import-flip were front-page news. The room grew — more processors, more ethanol majors, more global buyers. The summit had become the industry's calendar fixture.
2026 · 3rd Edition
Chapter 3 — 28–29 September 2026, The Westin Powai

Maize Markets Summit & Expo · 3rd Edition
A dedicated stage for India's most strategic crop
This year the summit sharpens its focus to the one crop that now feeds three industries — ethanol, feed and starch — while India has flipped to net importer. New name. Bigger expo. Dedicated Awards Night. Same trusted convenor.
