World Book Fair 2025 - New Delhi
The New Delhi World Book Fair 2025 is taking place from February 1 to February 9 at Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi.
Open daily from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM, this annual literary event is organized by the National Book Trust, India, in collaboration with the India Trade Promotion Organisation.
How to Reach: The most convenient way to reach the venue is via the Supreme Court Metro Station on the Blue Line.
Parking is available if you are coming by own car
Entry to the fair is through Gate 10, with additional access at Gates 4 and 6. Wheelchair access is available at Gates 4 and 8.
Parking: Parking is available at Bharat Mandapam ITPO basement parking.
We had gone on a Friday and got parking at ITPO basement parking (as you reach near Bharat mandapam you can see sign board for basement parking), it had ample parking available in the basement and you can directly go the exhibition halls above without much walking.
Alternatively, you can park at the Delhi Zoo and take an auto to Gate No. 4.
Food: The food court we visited was an open one with mostly fast food attractions. Quality of food was ok and vendors charged higher prices. There is ample open seating so getting some home cooked food for a picnic can also be a great idea (if travelling with kids)
Main Attractions:
- Children's Pavilion: A dedicated space for young readers with storytelling sessions and workshops (hall number 6)
- Authors' Corner: A platform for dialogues, book launches, and panel discussions with writers.
- International Exhibits: Showcasing global literature and promoting cultural exchange with participation from over 40 countries
- Festival of Festivals: Showcasing over 100 sessions on topics like AI in literature
The theme for this year is "Republic@75", celebrating 75 years of India as a Republic.
