India International Trade Fair (IITF) 2026, Delhi

The India International Trade Fair (IITF) is held at Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan, and the 45th edition runs from Friday 13 to Friday 27 November 2026 (per ITPO's own event listing) — a day earlier than its traditional 14 November start; the India Trade Promotion Organisation (ITPO), which organises it, usually announces business days, public days, timings and ticket prices in the weeks before the fair. Running since 1980, IITF is one of India's largest consumer and trade exhibitions, with pavilions from states and union territories, central ministries and public-sector companies, international exhibitors and thousands of stalls selling handicrafts, handlooms, regional food, furniture, appliances and gadgets. The first days are usually reserved for business visitors, with the general public admitted afterwards; weekends and the final days are by far the busiest. The fair now takes place in the redeveloped Pragati Maidan complex around Bharat Mandapam, the convention centre opened before the 2023 G20 summit, so halls and entry gates differ from older editions. In past years tickets have been sold online and at selected Delhi Metro stations, and no tickets are sold at the gates on some days, so check ITPO's instructions before you go.
