The annual India International Trade Fair (IITF) is a mega trade show organised at New Delhi’s Pragati Maidan (Bharat Mandapam) by the India Trade Promotion Organization (ITPO). It typically takes place from November 14 to 27 to provide a platform for traders, small businesses, startups, and artisans to showcase their products and services to a broad audience, including domestic and international buyers.
Held since 1980, the fair is one of the most significant and longstanding trade fairs in India helping traders and small businesses with an opportunity to test their products and services, receive feedback and gain insights into the latest industry trends, market dynamics, and innovative practices.
