The India International Trade Fair (IITF) is back in Delhi. The 44th edition opened this week at Bharat Mandapam, setting off a two-week stretch that will run until November 27.
Jitin Prasada, Minister of State for Commerce and Industry, flagged off the event, which carries the theme “Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat” for 2025.
The fair follows its usual split schedule. The first five days are marked as business days. Public entry begins on November 19 and continues through November 27. Gates open at 9:30 AM and close at 7:30 PM.
Crowd movement is expected to stay heavy on weekends, with the venue covering several halls across the redeveloped Pragati Maidan complex.
The Delhi Trade Fair weekend ticket prices are as follows:
Adults: ₹150
Children: ₹60
Tickets are available online and at multiple offline points. Visitors can book passes through the official website, indiatradefair.com, or through the ‘Saarthi’ app.
As many as 55 Delhi Metro stations are also selling tickets, a system carried over from previous years to handle peak-hour demand.
For online bookings, the process is basic:
1. Visit ITPO’s official portal and select the IITF 2025 ticket link.
2. Enter a mobile number for registration.
3. Verify the OTP sent to the same number.
The fair is taking place at the Bharat Mandapam, which ITPO has positioned among the leading global exhibition hubs. The project holds a built-up footprint of about 4.2 million sq. ft.
Here’s the IITF 2025 Hall Breakdown:
Halls 1–6, 9–10: Global Hub for Trade & Government
These halls host Partner and Focus States, Central Ministries, PSUs, and all Foreign Pavilions.

As Delhi settles into the fair season, the 44th IITF continues its role as a major annual draw. The combination of a newly developed venue and a broad exhibitor lineup positions the 2025 edition as one of the most accessible versions of the event in recent years.
The fair runs from November 14 to 27, while the public entry began on November 19.
The ticket rates are ₹150 for adults and ₹60 for children.
