For the period from November 2025 through January 2026, the trade fair schedule shows a mix of large-scale general trade and focused niche B2B opportunities. Whether you’re in hardware, manufacturing, wellness or general trade, this window offers strategic timing to align your brand with visibility, networking and business deals.
Key Upcoming Trade Shows at Pragati Maidan (14 Nov–31 Jan)
14–18 November 2025 – India International Trade Fair (Business Days)
The India International Trade Fair (IITF) 2025 is scheduled with Business Days from 14 to 18 November at Pragati Maidan.
Why it matters: This is a flagship multi-industry event covering textiles, garments, household goods, food, FMCG, services and more. For brands wanting broad exposure and buyer interactions across segments, this is a major platform.
What you should focus on:
- Make sure to register for the business-visitor window (14-18 Nov) which is more B2B-centric.
- Plan your booth to speak across verticals (if your brand spans several product types).
- Pre-schedule meetings with potential buyers and partners during these five days.
11–13 December 2025 – International Hardware Fair India
This focused hardware industry show is scheduled from 11-13 December 2025 at the Bharat Mandapam section of Pragati Maidan.
Why it matters: If your business is in tools, fasteners, building fittings, workshop equipment, home improvement hardware or related segments, this is your platform.
What you should focus on:
- Tailor your stand to highlight your technical or product-innovation edge.
- Target trade-visitors, buyers and distributors in the hardware/building-supplies ecosystem.
- Consider modular designs or interactive product demos to stand out in a specialized field.
16–18 January 2026 – Organic Expo 2026
Looking into early 2026, the Organic Expo 2026 is scheduled from 16-18 January 2026 at Pragati Maidan.
Why it matters: The organic, wellness, ayurveda and sustainable-living industry is growing strongly. This expo will serve both B2B and some B2C elements and is ideal for brands in natural products, eco-friendly lifestyle solutions and health-wellness.
What you should focus on:
- Showcase your “green” USP clearly (organic certification, sustainable sourcing, innovation).
- Use workshops or live demos to engage buyers and distributors.
- Since this is a niche yet growing field, focus on quality over quantity — build relationships rather than just display.
