India Hemp Expo 2023: From Ayurveda Aisles to Fashion Ramps, Hemp Takes Centre Stage in Delhi
Expo highlights hemp’s journey from taboo plant to green economy powerhouse.
India Hemp Expo 2023 brought together Ayurveda practitioners, startups, and policymakers in New Delhi, showcasing hemp’s expanding role in nutrition, wellness, fashion, construction, and sustainability. The event highlighted how hemp is moving beyond its taboo image to become a mainstream driver of India’s green economy, with innovators presenting everything from hemp protein bars and skincare to eco-textiles and hempcrete materials.
The India Hemp Expo 2023, held in New Delhi, marked a defining moment for India’s green economy. Hundreds of Ayurveda practitioners, entrepreneurs, and investors gathered under one roof to explore hemp’s diverse applications — from superfood powders and cold-pressed oils to eco-friendly textiles, plant-based cosmetics, hempcrete construction, and Ayurvedic cannabis medicines.
Organizers noted that the expo’s strong turnout signaled a cultural and commercial shift: hemp is no longer confined to ancient remedies or underground discussions, but is now celebrated as a mainstream solution for wellness, fashion, and sustainable living.
Industry insiders called the expo “India’s coming-of-age moment for hemp,” pointing to rising consumer demand, regulatory recognition, and global momentum in the hemp and CBD sectors. For startups, it was a platform to showcase innovation; for policymakers, an opportunity to understand hemp’s potential as a revenue-generating, job-creating, and climate-friendly industry.
As one panelist put it: “This is not just about hemp as a crop — this is about hemp as India’s next green revolution.”
