Where was the 45th India International Trade Fair 2026 inaugurated?
- A.Pragati Maidan Hall 7
- B.Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi
- C.Yashobhoomi, Dwarka
- D.India Expo Centre, Greater Noida
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. The Union Minister of Commerce and Industry opened the 45th India International Trade Fair at Bharat Mandapam, and the same venue is the one the government says it will expand in a fresh phase that nearly doubles the exhibition space on offer. Option A is wrong because no hall of that description is named as the site of this edition. Option C is wrong because the opening address placed the fair squarely at Bharat Mandapam, where the Minister said visitors would need two to three days to walk the whole spread. Option D is wrong for the same reason, as the fair was not held outside Delhi. Candidates should link the fair with Bharat Mandapam, with the India Trade Promotion Organisation as the body behind it, and with the figures of 3,500 exhibitors, 11 countries and more than 30 States and Union Territories.
