The 62nd IHGF Delhi Fair – Autumn 2026 will take place from 13 to 17 October 2026 at the India Expo Centre & Mart, Greater Noida, Delhi-NCR, bringing together global buyers, Indian exporters, manufacturers, artisans and design-led suppliers across home, lifestyle, fashion, gifts, furniture, furnishings and interiors.
Building on the strong momentum of the 61st edition, which brought together buyers from more than 100 countries and over 3,000 exhibitors, the upcoming Autumn 2026 edition will present fresh product concepts and expanded sourcing opportunities across India’s diverse handicraft and lifestyle product sectors.
A Grand Platform for Global Sourcing
For decades, IHGF Delhi Fair has served as one of the world’s leading sourcing destinations for home, lifestyle, fashion, furnishings, furniture, gifts and interior products. The Spring 2026 edition concluded on a strong note, reaffirming the fair’s role as a major international platform connecting global buyers with India’s manufacturing hubs, artisan clusters and creative enterprises.
Centred on the theme Inclusive Growth & Advancement, the fair highlighted sustainability, value-added craftsmanship and artistic excellence. The showcase reflected evolving global lifestyle preferences, with a strong emphasis on eco-conscious materials, artisanal techniques and contemporary design.
Special highlights included curated furniture displays, the Young Designers Collective, regional craft presentations from various Indian states, handloom collections from the North-East, and innovative offerings from emerging design entrepreneurs.
Diverse Product Categories and Design Innovation
Spread across 17 halls and 900 permanent showrooms, the fair provided a seamless sourcing experience across key categories such as home décor, furnishings, furniture, lighting, fashion jewellery, carpets, garden accessories, wellness products and more.
The 62nd IHGF Delhi Fair – Autumn 2026 is expected to feature over 3,500 exhibitors, curated thematic segments and expanded design showcases. This scale reinforces India’s position as a preferred sourcing destination for quality handicrafts and lifestyle products that blend heritage with contemporary global relevance.
Strong International Buyer Participation
International participation remains one of the defining strengths of IHGF Delhi Fair. The Spring 2026 edition attracted strong buyer presence from the USA, UK, France, Australia, the Netherlands, Japan, South Africa, the Middle East and many other markets.
Buyers acknowledged India’s strengths in craftsmanship, design innovation, competitive pricing, scalability and reliability. Sustainability, customisation and consistent quality also emerged as key sourcing priorities. The fair reflected a clear trend of supply chain diversification, with international buyers increasingly enhancing procurement from India.
India’s Growing Role in Global Sourcing
A notable trend observed at the fair was the growing diversification of global supply chains. Buyers from the UK, EU, UAE and other regions where India has recently signed trade agreements expressed optimism about stronger bilateral trade opportunities.
Australian buyers also acknowledged the positive impact of the India–Australia ECTA in facilitating trade. Buyers from the USA emphasised scalability and durability, while Japanese buyers highlighted precision and finishing standards. Strong appreciation was also noted from buyers in South Africa and the Middle East for India’s quality-to-price advantage and dependable supplier ecosystem.
Over the years, IHGF Delhi Fair has built a distinct identity by fostering international market linkages and enabling meaningful business engagements.
