India International Trade Fair (IITF) 2026 takes place at Bharat Mandapam (Pragati Maidan), New Delhi in New Delhi from 14 November to 27 November 2026. India's largest and most prestigious integrated trade fair with exhibitors from all states and 25+ countries.
What the fair covers
The fair is deliberately broad, spanning many product categories rather than a single industry. India's largest and most prestigious integrated trade fair with exhibitors from all states and 25+ countries. That shapes both the exhibitor mix and the questions worth preparing before you arrive.
Dates, venue and getting there
The fair runs from 14 November to 27 November 2026 at Bharat Mandapam (Pragati Maidan), New Delhi in New Delhi. It runs for 14 days, so most buyers attend part of the period rather than the whole of it. New Delhi hosts many of India's largest trade fairs. Traffic is heavy and journey times vary widely by time of day, so allow generous margins when scheduling meetings. The metro is often the more predictable option for reaching exhibition grounds.
Planning your visit
General fairs suit buyers sourcing across several categories at once. The trade-off is scale: the venue is usually large and the exhibitor list long, so arriving with a shortlist of target categories makes the difference between a productive visit and an exhausting one. For India International Trade Fair (IITF) 2026, that means preparing ahead of the November dates and arriving with a target list of stands.
Language and interpreting support
English is used routinely in Indian business and most exhibitors will handle commercial discussions in it comfortably. Where language support helps is less about translation and more about local knowledge: understanding regional supplier bases, verifying company credentials and navigating logistics is where an experienced local contact adds most. An interpreter already working in New Delhi saves further time simply by knowing the venue and how to move around it.
After the fair
The work after a broad fair is triage. You will usually leave with more contacts than you can pursue, so ranking them by fit and following up quickly matters. Inspection on first orders from any new supplier remains the standard precaution.
