Delhi: 39th India International Trade Fair (IITF) 2019 was opened for all visitors from Monday. People, who wish to get the experience of visiting the biggest fair of the national capital, can plan their visit well by purchasing tickets in advance to avoid the last hour rush amid huge crowd at the venue.
The tickets can be purchased from the metro stations and bookmyshow.com.
This year, trade fair is being organised on smaller scale because of the ongoing redevelopment work at Pragati Maidan. The halls where trade fair is being organised are 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 12A.
Due to huge influx of crowd at the venue, India Trade Promotion Organisation (ITPO) may restrict sales of tickets at any given time.
