Broadening its media footprint, The Times of India has forayed into the exhibitions space, aiming to create immersive platforms that bring together key industry stakeholders. Backed by over 187 years of credibility across print, digital, and experiential media, the move signals a strategic expansion into curated, experience-led industry engagement.
As part of this initiative, TOI has announced the launch of its debut exhibition, Times of India Sports Fitness and Infrastructure Expo 2026, which will integrate the entire value chain of sports, fitness, technology, and infrastructure under one platform. Scheduled for July 2026 in New Delhi, the expo marks a significant step in supporting India’s evolving sports ecosystem.
The event is designed to bring together sports enterprises, infrastructure developers, government bodies, fitness technology providers, wellness brands, athletes, innovators, and community groups. It aims to facilitate collaboration across sectors—from developing world-class sports infrastructure to enabling advanced training environments and performance solutions through technology.
Speaking on the initiative, Surinder Chawla of Bennett Coleman and Co Ltd highlighted that India is entering a transformative phase in sports growth, driven by initiatives such as Khelo India and Fit India. He noted that the exhibition aims to unify stakeholders and accelerate the development of a strong, globally competitive sporting ecosystem.
Envisioned as an annual platform, the expo will serve as a collaborative hub showcasing innovations in training, performance, recovery, and sports technology, while also enabling dialogue, partnerships, and knowledge exchange. It is set to play a key role in fostering investment and supporting the growth of a future-ready sports community in India.
