KERAPEX 2026 stages Kerala’s state-level philatelic exhibition in Kochi

KERAPEX 2026, Kerala’s state-level philatelic exhibition, was scheduled at Town Hall, Kochi, from 20–23 January. The event listing identifies it as recognised by India Post and provides supporting material for exhibitors and dealers, including entry, inventory and booth forms.

The four-day format gave collectors time to study competitive and non-competitive exhibits rather than treating the gathering only as a sales fair. Public descriptions of the programme highlighted rare material and thematic collections, presenting stamps as records of history, culture and art for collectors, students and general visitors.

For exhibitors, KERAPEX is especially relevant because state-level competition can be a step toward stronger national-level presentations. For visitors, it offers an opportunity to compare exhibit structure, write-ups and material selection in person. Results and award details were not present on the referenced information page, so those should be treated as unconfirmed until supplied by the organisers.
