Commercial momentum reached new milestones at the India Expo Centre and Mart in Greater Noida as the fourth edition of the international trade show concluded its fourth operational day on September 28. Running from September 25 through September 29, the five-day trade exhibition recorded 3,765 signed memorandums of understanding by the end of Saturday. These commercial pacts represent an aggregate financial value of ₹5,500 crore, equivalent to roughly 574 million US dollars.
Trade Enquiries Cross ₹12,500 Crore Benchmark
Beyond the formalized agreements, international and domestic corporate participants registered massive commercial interest across diverse sectors. Official compilations showed trade enquiries totaling ₹12,500 crore recorded through September 28. With the final day of proceedings still to take place on September 29, cumulative deal values, visitor turnout, and business negotiations are expected to expand even further before the show wraps up.
Over 35,000 Structured Business-to-Business Sessions Conducted
Suvidh Shah, Additional Director General at the Federation of Indian Export Organisations, stated that 35,387 business-to-business discussions were successfully executed during the initial four-day stretch. Within this structure, the reverse buyers sellers meet specifically curated for foreign delegates accounted for 11,887 meetings. Concurrently, the primary exhibition floor hosted 23,500 B2B interactions linking Indian enterprises with overseas and domestic purchasing agents. These sessions created direct transactional channels for regional producers, factory operators, and registered exporters.
Global Market Integration for MSMEs and Artisans
The scale of agreements and corporate enquiries confirms that the Greater Noida gathering has transcended the nature of a routine display fair. It now serves as a transactional engine directly connecting grassroots production units with active purchasing markets. Distinct advantages accrued to micro, small, and medium enterprises, alongside participants from the One District One Product program, handloom weavers, handicraft guilds, food processing firms, agricultural syndicates, and advanced manufacturing plants. Local manufacturers negotiated directly with institutional sourcing teams without intermediation.
Footfall Crosses 5.48 Lakh Across Exhibition Pavilions
The trade fair drew immense public and professional attendance alongside its financial negotiations. Validated statistics through September 28 confirmed a total footfall of 5,48,881 visitors across the complex. This aggregate comprised 1,56,523 verified domestic business purchasers and 3,92,358 general attendees. High foot traffic maintained vigorous interaction across the various presentation halls within the India Expo Centre and Mart complex throughout the operating hours.
Inauguration by Central and State Leadership
Framed around the operational vision of elevating local enterprises into international commercial circuits, the exhibition commenced on September 25 under a joint opening by Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The strategic focus of this edition remained firmly on unlocking cross-border commercial corridors for grassroots crafts, industrial zones, and rural manufacturing clusters across Uttar Pradesh. Direct engagements with foreign trade missions opened practical avenues for regional artisans and processing units.
Expectations Run High Ahead of Final Day Wrap-up
The extensive outcomes logged across the initial ninety-six hours have heightened expectations for the concluding sessions on September 29. Final tallies for aggregate footfall, commercial enquiries, enterprise tie-ups, and signed bilateral pacts will see their final revisions as the exhibition formally closes. The four-day milestones demonstrate expanding corporate confidence and substantial manufacturing readiness across the region.
