On February 10, 2024, the "World Book Fair 2024" at Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, was formally inaugurated by Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who is in charge of education, skill development, and entrepreneurship.
The New Delhi World Book Fair (NDWBF), being held for the past 50 years, is a major calendar event in the publishing world. NDWBF 2024 is scheduled to be held from 10 to 18 February 2024 in newly constructed Halls 1-5(GF) at the centrally located Pragati Maidan, New Delhi. The Fair is organized by National Book Trust, India (under the Ministry of Education, Government of India). ITPO (under Ministry of Industry and Commerce) is the co-organiser/venue partner of the fair.
Today, Indian publishing stands poised at significant crossroads towards the path of growth. NDWBF offers the exhibitors a unique opportunity for business with this growing book industry. It is also an ideal venue for promoting titles, co-publication arrangements and trade. Besides the many literary and publishing conferences and programmes that are organized during the Fair, it opens up a gateway to the publishing and intellectual world of South Asia. The Fair attracts participation from major publishing houses across the globe.
