ITPO, during its existence of nearly three decades, in the form of Trade Fair Authority of India and Trade Development Authority, has played a proactive role in catalysing trade, investment and technology transfer processes. Its promotional tools include organizing of fairs and exhibitions in India and abroad, Buyer-Seller Meets, Contact Promotion Programmes, Product Promotion Programmes, Promotion through Overseas Department Stores, Market Surveys and Information Dissemination.

India International Trade Fair, or the IITF, is an annual fair that takes place at the grounds of Pragati Maidan in Delhi. Organized by the India Trade Promotion Organization (ITPO), it starts on the 14th of November every year. India International Trade Fair was held for the first time in Delhi in the year 1980 and since then, it is an annual event much awaited by people from all over the country.

In the IITF, the government of each and every state sets up a huge stall or pavilion. The stall of a particular stall has the traditional look of that state and has one theme that it follows throughout. For Example, the stall of Punjab will offer you all the specialties of Punjab like Punjabi cuisine, Punjabi clothes, Punjabi footwear, and so on.

The biggest and the most popular fair of Delhi, India International Trade Fair also has stalls set up by the different countries of the world. The initial reason for organizing the trade fair was to promote the products of India amongst foreign buyers and vice-versa. The products available at the India International Trade Fair include electronics, electrical equipments, commodities, textile, mechanical parts, crockery, etc.

This is because some pavilions, like China and Japan, get out of stock much before the fair ends. Handicraft items of almost all the Indian states are available in the fair and are definitely worth buying. The reasonable price and authenticity of these handicrafts make them perfect for mementoes and souvenirs. Don't forget to taste the tasty cuisine at the pavilions.
