What is the India International Mega Trade Fair (IIMTF)?
A multi‑city exhibition and marketplace that brings together thousands of stalls, exhibitors from India and abroad, and millions of shoppers and business visitors every year.
The India International Mega Trade Fair (IIMTF) is a national exhibition circuit — a roaming festival of commerce where local artisans, SMEs, export houses, and international suppliers showcase everything from ethnic garments and jewellery to electronics and home décor. Held across many cities throughout the year, the fair mixes consumer shopping with trade‑focused zones for businesses seeking partnerships, bulk deals, and export leads.
