By Adrija Dasgupta, Kolkata
The 24th edition of the India International Mega Trade Fair (IIMTF) was held from 5th to 28th December 2025. Every year, the winter season in Kolkata eagerly awaits this grand Trade and Shopping Festival following Durga Puja. The fair is jointly organised by The Bengal Chamber of Commerce and GS Marketing Associates.
According to Mr Abhijit Roy, President, The Bengal Chamber of Commerce, the primary objective of organising this Mega Trade Fair is to position Kolkata as a preferred destination for trade and commerce, as well as a leading retail hub in the country.
Ms Suparna Dutta Gupta, CEO, GS Marketing Associates, stated that IIMTF provides an ideal platform for exhibitors to showcase their products and services in a world-class exhibition ambience. Among its many benefits, the fair offers business houses and entrepreneurs valuable face-to-face interaction opportunities to achieve their trade objectives. The India International Mega Trade Fair was held at the Science City grounds in Kolkata.

The India International Mega Trade Fair is a strong indicator of the state’s competitiveness in both B2B and B2C business models in West Bengal. The fair featured products from international and Indian companies, participants from the Ministry of MSME, Government of India, National Jute Board, EPCH, Government of Uttar Pradesh, Government of Gujarat through Garvi Gurjari, as well as representations from Rajasthan, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Assam, Telangana, and Madhya Pradesh. Exhibits included handlooms, handicrafts, furniture, interiors, appliances, lifestyle products, food, beauty, health, and more.
GS Marketing Associates is a leading and well-known organiser of trade fairs and exhibitions in India. With over 31 years of experience in the exhibition industry, GS has earned 24 Exhibition Excellence Awards. IIMTF stands as the largest trade fair in the private sector and is considered a matter of pride for Bengal.
The event provides an excellent opportunity to strike business deals with a wide range of companies from India and abroad, offering a rich display of products along with a complete business and shopping experience. The India International Mega Trade Fair was supported by extensive advertising and publicity campaigns to ensure maximum footfall from the target audience, leading to increased trade promotion and business development in the cities where it has been held.
The dedicated and highly capable team at GS Marketing Associates successfully executed this massive project through months of meticulous planning and hard work. Responding to public demand, the fair was extended by two additional days beyond the originally planned 22 days, and was ultimately held for a total of 24 days in Kolkata.
