India International Trade Fair (IITF)

The India International Trade Fair, organised every November by the India Trade Promotion Organisation (ITPO), is one of the largest trade and consumer fairs in South Asia. The 45th edition runs from 13 to 27 November 2026 at Bharat Mandapam, the redeveloped exhibition complex at Pragati Maidan in central Delhi. This year's theme is Development and Heritage (Vikas aur Virasat).
Most Indian states and union territories set up their own pavilions, so one visit can take in handloom saris from one state, spices or tea from another and regional snacks at the food courts in between. Central ministries, public sector companies and exhibitors from several countries take part too, and many stalls sell directly to visitors.
The first days of the fair are reserved for business visitors, and the general public is admitted after that. In 2026 the opening has been moved a day earlier than usual, to 13 November, so check the ITPO website for the final split of business and public days, daily timings and ticket prices before you go. In recent years tickets were sold online and at selected Delhi Metro stations rather than at the venue gates.
Weekends and the last few days draw the biggest crowds. Supreme Court metro station (formerly Pragati Maidan) on the Blue Line is the closest stop, and visitor gates have been on Bhairon Road (Gates 3 and 4) and Mathura Road (Gates 6 and 10).
