The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has started the sale of entry tickets for the 42nd edition of the India International Trade Fair (IITF), a flagship event organised by the India Trade Promotion Organisation (ITPO).
Starting today, entry tickets for the ‘business days’ (November 14–18) are available while the sales for ‘general public days’ will begin on November 19. The India International Trade Fair will be held from November 14 to November 27 at Pragati Maidan.
The DMRC has chosen 55 metro stations for ticket sales. Notably, in order to avoid overcrowding, the Supreme Court metro station, which is closest to the venue, will not sell IITF tickets.
The DMRC in an official statement said that tickets for both business and general days may be purchased at customer care centres at selected metro stations from 9 am to 4 pm.
