After a year's gap due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 40th India International Trade Fair (IITF) will be held at Pragati Maidan in the national capital from November 14 to 27.
The India Trade Promotion Organisation organises the mega event, which was first held in 1979.
The fair was not held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was the second time in history that IITF was not organised. The first time this happened was in 1980.
Prior to 2020, the IITF was held on a smaller scale for two years due to redevelopment work at Pragati Maidan.

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation said it will start selling India International Trade Fair (IITF) entry tickets for ‘Business Days’ from November 14 and for general public days from November 19.
The ‘business days’ of the trade fair are from November 14 to 18 while the general public days are from November 19 to 27. The timings will be 9.30 am to 7.30 pm.
