Several MSMEs, small scale industries, handloom weavers, handicraft artisans and others will participate. The organisers are expecting a footfall of over 50,000 from October 12 to 21.
Jai Manish Sharma, director, expo centre, said the DITF aims to promote ‘Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas’ initiative of Prime Minister Narendra Modi by bringing small and large enterprises under one roof. He said that the event offers an opportunity to participating organisations to interact with potential customers and promote business and development. Over 300 participants from UP, Bihar, Rajasthan, Punjab, Telangana, Odisha, Karnataka, etc. would participate in the event.

The businessmen and industrialists earlier showcased their products in trade fairs at Pragati Maidan. The trade fair in Noida will surely help the business and also the local people who will get diverse products under one roof,” he said.
