Venue connectivity
Indian prepaid SIM cards from Airtel, Jio or Vi are sold at DEL arrival counters and city stores; bring your passport and visa for KYC. eSIM plans can be set up before departure. Hotel and venue Wi-Fi is common but can slow down at peak hours, so download the DMRC map, ride-hail apps and offline maps in advance.

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Greetings
A handshake is common in business settings, while namaste with folded hands is a respectful local greeting. Use titles and surnames until invited to switch to first names.
Business cards
Exchange cards early in a meeting. Offer and receive with the right hand, or support the right hand with the left, and take a moment to read the card before putting it away.
Time and traffic
Delhi traffic can turn a short distance into a long journey. Build buffer time around meetings and allow extra on show mornings, when security queues and drop-offs are busiest.
Dress code
Smart formal or business casual works for the exhibition. Light fabrics help with the May heat, and a light layer is useful in strongly air-conditioned halls and meeting rooms.
Food and water
Vegetarian food is widely available. Stick to bottled or filtered water, avoid ice from street vendors, and choose freshly cooked food at busy places during the show week.
Tipping and payments
Tipping around 10% is common in restaurants, and small change is useful for porters and auto-rickshaws. Bargaining is normal in markets but not in hotels or formal stores.

Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Destination: DEL
Fly into Indira Gandhi International (DEL), the main international gateway for New Delhi. No verified origin-band fares were captured for this event, so compare live fares closer to your travel dates rather than relying on a published estimate. Book a flight that lands by 6 May 2027 where possible, leaving a buffer for immigration, baggage and the 45-60 min transfer to central Delhi. Reconfirm terminal, airline baggage rules and visa timing before ticketing; May is a busy pre-summer travel period and fares can rise as the show approaches.
Transport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Indira Gandhi International (DEL). Allow road or rail time to New Delhi, India; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near New Delhi, India: New Delhi: Hotel O Delhi; New Delhi: Hotel Shelton; New Delhi: Hotel Rockwell Plaza.
Ride-hail: App-based cabs are the easiest door-to-door option in Delhi. Uber, Ola and BluSmart operate in the city; international cards may work in the apps, but a local UPI wallet or INR cash backup is useful. Use the designated app pickup zone at DEL Terminal 3 and avoid unmarked airport touts. Expect surge pricing during the 7-9 May 2027 show and evening peak hours. Pre-book an airport transfer if you land late, and check the driver and vehicle details before getting in.
Public transit: The Delhi Metro (DMRC) is the fastest way to skip road traffic. Use the Airport Express Line between DEL Terminal 3 and New Delhi station, then change to the Yellow, Blue or Pink lines for central Delhi. City fares are roughly INR 10-60, while the Airport Express is about INR 60-110. The 2027 venue is not confirmed in the capture, so check the nearest station on new.delhimetrorail.com/en/map once the hall is announced. DTC city buses and Moovit trip planning cover last-mile legs; keep small change or a metro card ready for queues.
Parking: Fairground parking in Delhi is usually available on a first-come basis. Confirm the 2027 venue's gate, daily rate and hall access with the organiser before driving. Expect around INR 200-400 per day for car parking, higher for vans or coaches, and allow 20-30 min for security and gate queues at peak opening times. Drop-off zones fill quickly; ride-hail or metro is easier than self-driving if you are unfamiliar with Delhi traffic.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: May 2027 (late spring / pre-monsoon)
Temperature: Approx. 30-42°C daytime; 25-29°C at night; heatwave days can exceed 43°C
Seasonality: Mostly dry and very hot. Pre-monsoon dust storms or short showers are possible, but the main monsoon arrives later, usually from late June.
Packing: Light breathable clothing such as cotton or linen for the trade hall and city, a hat, sunglasses and high-SPF sunscreen. Bring a refillable water bottle and electrolytes for the heat, plus a light layer for heavily air-conditioned halls. Business formal or smart casual for meetings, comfortable closed shoes, a power bank and a universal adapter (India uses Type C, D and M plugs at 230V).
Plan your trip
Planning
Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)
Mid-show days at Doors, Windows & Facades Expo usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.
Day 1
Request an organiser invitation letter for the visa file — Use the official Doors and Windows Expo contact channel. Keep the letter with your application and carry a printed copy when travelling.
Day 2
Submit the Indian visa or e-Visa application — Apply through the official Indian government visa portal. Processing time varies by nationality, so do not leave this to the final week.
Day 3
Book a flight into Indira Gandhi International (DEL) — Aim to land by 6 May 2027 so immigration, baggage and the 45-60 min transfer to central Delhi do not eat into the opening morning.
Day 4
Reserve a hotel in Mahipalpur/Aerocity or central Delhi — Mahipalpur and Aerocity suit early flights; central Delhi suits metro access. Confirm taxes, cancellation terms and airport transfer before paying.
Day 5
Register for a visitor badge on the official event site; Download the Delhi Metro map and a trip-planning app — Use new.delhimetrorail.com/en/map for the DMRC network. Add Moovit or a similar app for metro-plus-bus or metro-plus-auto combinations.

Day 8
Request meetings and print your badge and confirmations — Carry a printed copy of the badge, hotel booking, visa and insurance. Save key contacts in your phone rather than relying only on paper.
Day 9
Pack for Delhi heat and for air-conditioned exhibition halls — Light breathable clothing, hat, sunscreen, refillable water bottle and a light layer for cold halls. Bring business cards and a power bank.
Day 10
Confirm the 2027 venue, hall and public gate with the organiser; Reconfirm flight, hotel and venue access, then travel — Check traffic and metro timings on the day. Arrive early on the first show day for security screening and orientation.
