IHGF Delhi Fair Autumn 2026 to open 16-category show in Greater Noida

08 September 2026: The 62nd IHGF Delhi Fair Autumn 2026 will run from 13 to 17 October 2026 at the India Expo Centre & Mart in Greater Noida, Delhi NCR. The Export Promotion Council for Handicrafts is organising the five-day B2B exhibition for overseas and Indian buyers looking at Indian home, lifestyle, fashion, furniture and gift collections.

According to the official IHGF Delhi Fair website and the India Expo Centre & Mart event listing, this autumn edition is the 62nd staging of the show. EPCH has held Spring and Autumn editions since 1994 and states that the fair is UFI approved. Overseas buyers and domestic volume buyers can already pre-register on the organiser site, as can buying consultants who source on behalf of foreign principals.

When and where will the fair take place ?

The fair runs 13-17 October 2026 at India Expo Centre & Mart, Greater Noida. IEML lists EPCH as organiser and does not describe the show as a joint production with the venue company. Visitor registration has been open on the official site since 19 February 2026.

Greater Noida remains a regular stop on India’s trade-fair calendar. The same campus is later booked for India ITME 2026 at IEML, a textile-machinery show in December, which is a different event.

What buyers will find at IHGF Delhi Fair Autumn 2026

Organisers say the edition will present over 2,000 product lines and more than 300 trends across 16 product categories. Those figures are EPCH and IEML claims for a show that has not yet opened.

The official category list keeps home furnishing with carpets and rugs, rather than splitting them. Home décor and accents sit with interiors, furniture, gifts and premiums, lamps and lighting, outdoor and garden products, kitchen and dinnerware, and bathroom accessories. That mix is closer to a full house-and-hospitality buy than a single-category gift fair.

Textiles and linen form their own group, which will matter to buyers who already follow Heimtextil Trends 26/27 for craft and home-textile direction. Fashion jewellery, bags and accessories, Christmas and festive décor, aroma, spa and lifestyle goods, cane, bamboo, paper and eco-friendly products, and toys for children fill out the 16-category grid.

Delhi already has a public circuit for handloom home décor through expos such as VIRAASAT. IHGF is the export B2B version of that product family: made-ups, rugs and décor objects made for retail programmes and hotel rooms.

Who the Greater Noida edition is built for

EPCH is inviting importers, retailers, wholesalers, buying houses, sourcing offices and designers. Fashion buyers who covered the 74th India International Garment Fair will recognise the B2B format, even though IHGF’s floor is home, lifestyle and gifts rather than apparel.

The official autumn 2026 pages did not publish a seminar, workshop or live-demonstration timetable. Private-label talks and sample checks remain the practical reasons buyers fly in, because Indian workshops can still take a sample and recut it for volume production.

Artisan-led firms sit in the wider supply story, including channels such as the India Handmade portal for artisans and weavers. The current fair pages do not list start-ups or artisan studios as a separate exhibitor class, so that claim is not repeated here as a confirmed feature of the 62nd edition.
