India Expo Centre & Mart

What it is

A large exhibition complex with covered halls and open ground, used almost entirely for trade shows. Woodworking, pharma, LED lighting and food fairs have all been held here, and the Auto Expo took over the place in 2023.

On a normal day there is nothing to see. On a show day it fills with exhibitors, buyers in lanyards and a long line of cabs at the gate.

Getting there

Knowledge Park II on the Aqua Line is the nearest metro station, and autos and taxis wait outside it. From Delhi, take the Blue Line to Noida Sector 52, walk across to Sector 51 and change to the Aqua Line.

By road, the Noida–Greater Noida Expressway is the usual route. The venue has its own parking, though it fills up early during big shows.

When to go

Only when an event is on. Many shows keep the first days for trade visitors and open to the public later, so check the organiser's site.

Weekday mornings are the calmest. On the busiest show days the expressway exit backs up, and the metro is the faster option.

Good to know

Most events ask you to register online and collect a badge at the gate, so carry ID. The halls are spread out and you will walk a lot. Wear comfortable shoes and keep water with you.
