Best Trade Shows in India

355 tracked shows, ranked by exhibitor count

India is South Asia's largest exhibition market and a fast-growing one, with New Delhi at its centre following the redevelopment of Pragati Maidan into the Bharat Mandapam (IECC) complex. The economy spans IT and business services (a nearly US$200 billion export sector), generic pharmaceuticals, textiles and apparel (around US$37 billion), engineering goods and gems and jewellery. Principal fair cities are New Delhi, Greater Noida, Mumbai and Bengaluru. Flagship events include the India International Trade Fair, a large multi-sector show run by the ITPO, and the biennial Auto Expo, staged across Bharat Mandapam, the India Expo Centre & Mart in Greater Noida and Yashobhoomi in Dwarka.
