Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
Airport prepaid taxi
The prepaid counter issues a fixed fare slip before you leave the terminal, which avoids haggling with luggage. Journey is roughly 15 km and 20-45 minutes depending on traffic on the Golden Quadrilateral corridor.
App cab (Uber, Ola, BluSmart)
App cabs are metered in the app and take card or cash. T3 has designated app-cab pickup zones; allow extra minutes at peak hours when the surge multiplier applies.
Airport Express metro (Orange Line)
Fastest option when the roads are jammed, but awkward with large luggage during the morning peak. The Airport Express runs to New Delhi station, from where you continue on the Blue Line.
Delhi Metro (Blue Line)
Supreme Court station on the Blue Line is the closest metro stop to the Pragati Maidan fairground - check the exit signposted for the hall you need. Metro is the cheapest and most predictable way to beat road traffic during show days.
DTC city bus
Delhi Transport Corporation buses run low-cost routes across the city and the airport corridor. Useful for budget travel without heavy luggage; allow extra time and keep small change.
Auto-rickshaw
Auto-rickshaws are handy for the last couple of kilometres around Nehru Place and Pragati Maidan where cabs get stuck. App-based autos on Uber and Ola show a metered fare upfront.
Private car / self-drive parking
Parking fills early on opening day and during the busiest afternoon hours. Arrive 45-60 minutes before your first meeting if you are driving, and keep the parking slip for exit.
Hotel shuttle / organised transfer
Several Delhi hotels run scheduled shuttles to Pragati Maidan during major fairs. Ask at booking whether a shuttle operates during the 20-22 February 2027 show days and reserve a seat.
Weather
Late February is the tail of Delhi's cool, dry winter. Mornings and evenings are chilly, often around 10-13 C, while afternoons are mild and comfortable at roughly 23-25 C, so a jacket for the commute and lighter clothing for the halls works best. Rain is uncommon but a short spell is possible. Air quality is the bigger issue: the National Capital Region can still record poor AQI in February, and the Open-Meteo air-quality forecast near the venue showed a US AQI of about 177 and PM2.5 near 54.7 micrograms per cubic metre, so sensitive travellers should check local advisories daily and carry an N95 mask.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Delhi has wide 4G and 5G coverage on Airtel, Jio and Vi, including Bharat Mandapam and the Nehru Place hotel cluster. Prepaid tourist SIMs are sold at Indira Gandhi International Airport arrival halls against a passport and visa copy, and eSIM plans from international carriers also work. Hotel and venue Wi-Fi exists but is often congested during show hours, so keep a data plan for badge scans and order confirmations. India uses 230 V at 50 Hz with type C, D and M sockets - carry a universal adaptor. Business visitors should keep a printed copy of key contacts and hotel details in case of network congestion at the venue gates.

Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Jewellery trade geography in Delhi
Delhi's jewellery trade clusters are Karol Bagh, Chandni Chowk with Dariba Kalan, and the newer showroom belts in South Delhi and Gurugram. Many wholesale buyers work on prior appointments, so block your Karol Bagh and Chandni Chowk visits around the 20-22 February 2027 fair days rather than leaving them to the last morning.
Hallmark and purity talk
Indian jewellers discuss purity as karat and tunch, and gold jewellery sold in India carries a BIS hallmark with a six-digit HUID. When a supplier shows a Polki or Kundan set, asking about hallmark, certificate and gross versus net weight is normal trade practice, not an insult.
Negotiation and making charges
Quotes usually separate metal value, stone value and making charges. Bargaining is expected on making charges and on parcel pricing for loose stones, while metal value tracks the day's gold rate. Confirm whether GST is included before you compare two quotes.
Business cards and greetings
Exchange business cards with the right hand and treat the card with respect. English is widely used in the jewellery trade, but a few Hindi phrases go a long way. Handshakes are common between men; a polite namaste works in every setting.
Food, water and hospitality
Vegetarian food is widely available and many suppliers keep vegetarian kitchens. Drink only bottled or filtered water during show days, and accept tea or a sweet only if you intend to continue the conversation - hospitality is part of the sourcing relationship.
Dress and show-floor etiquette
Smart business dress is the norm at Delhi jewellery fairs - a jacket for men and business or smart-traditional dress for women. Carry photo ID that matches your registration, expect airport-style security screening at the Pragati Maidan gates, and never photograph a stand without asking.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Destination: DEL
Book into Indira Gandhi International (DEL), the only commercial airport serving the Delhi market; Terminal 3 handles most international traffic while Terminals 1 and 2 serve domestic low-cost carriers, so check your terminal before arranging a pickup. The flight captures available for this research returned India domestic and regional itineraries on non-show dates, so no verified long-haul fare can be quoted here - treat any band you see as indicative only and price the 20-22 February 2027 window closer to travel. Delhi is well connected nonstop to Gulf hubs and major Asian gateways and has direct links to European and North American cities, so a one-stop itinerary through a Gulf carrier is often the cheapest long-haul routing. Late February is wedding season in North India, which pushes up domestic fares and hotel rates, so book flights and rooms together as early as your schedule allows.
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 Bharat Mandapam (Pragati Maidan); on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Bharat Mandapam (Pragati Maidan): Nehru Place: Hotel BlueStone - Nehru Place; Mahipalpur (airport side): Hotel Premier Inn, Mahipalpur (Delhi NCR); Nehru Place: The Oakland Plaza Hotel Nehru Place.
Ride-hail: Uber, Ola and BluSmart all operate in Delhi NCR and are the default for hotel-to-venue hops. Fares are metered in the app with surge multipliers during peak hours and around the close of the fair, so check the estimate before confirming. Terminal 3 at Indira Gandhi International has marked app-cab pickup zones, and app-based auto-rickshaws are useful for the last two kilometres around Nehru Place when traffic stalls. Keep cash as a backup for auto-rickshaws and share the driver's live location with your colleagues when travelling late.
Public transit: The Delhi Metro is the fastest reliable way to reach the Pragati Maidan fairground area: Supreme Court station on the Blue Line is the closest stop, with the Pink Line and the Airport Express connecting at interchange stations nearby - check the exit signposted for the hall you need. Fares are distance-based and low, roughly INR 20-40 for a city journey and about INR 60 for the Airport Express leg, with rechargeable smart cards available at station counters. DTC city buses are the cheapest option at roughly INR 10-25 a journey and cover the airport corridor and central Delhi, though they are slower and crowded at peak hours. Carry small change and avoid the metro crush around 6-7 pm if you are carrying sample cases.
Parking: Bharat Mandapam has on-site parking with controlled entry on the Pragati Maidan fairground, and the surrounding roads are heavily managed during major fairs. Budget approximately INR 100-200 per day for a car slot and expect valet or premium slots to cost more; confirm the gate, rate and whether exhibitor passes get a reserved area with the organiser. Parking fills early on opening day and again from mid-afternoon, so arrive 45-60 minutes before your first meeting if you are driving, and keep the parking slip for exit. Chauffeured cars should be given a fixed pickup point outside the fairground rather than circling the gates.
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: February 2027 (late February, 20-22 February show days)
Temperature: Roughly 10-25 C across late February: early mornings and evenings near 10-13 C, afternoons mild at about 23-25 C, with the coolest hours just before sunrise.
Seasonality: Late February is at the tail of Delhi's dry winter, before the pre-monsoon heat builds in April and May. Rain is uncommon, but a short winter spell is possible, and morning fog can still delay flights earlier in the season. Air quality can remain poor through February, with the National Capital Region often recording elevated PM2.5 levels.
Packing: Pack removable layers: a light jacket, shawl or sweater for chilly mornings and evenings, breathable shirts and cottons for the exhibition halls, and comfortable closed shoes for long hours on the fairground floor. Bring an N95 mask for high-AQI days, a universal adaptor for Indian type C, D and M sockets, and a refillable bottle for the halls. A compact umbrella covers the rare winter shower, and a light scarf is useful in air-conditioned meeting rooms.
Plan your trip
Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)
Mid-show days at Jewellery & Gem Fair Delhi - DJGF Signature usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.
Days 14-12: Register for the fair and confirm whether your badge is trade-only; keep the confirmation and photo ID matching the registration name.
Days 14-12: Check your India visa or e-Visa status on the official portal and print the ETA; passports generally need six months validity.
Days 12-9: Book the Delhi hotel and confirm the cancellation window, since late February is a busy wedding-season month in the city.
Days 12-9: Book flights into Indira Gandhi International (DEL) and plan a buffer of at least three hours between landing and any evening meeting.
Days 10-7: Shortlist exhibitors by category (Polki and Jadau, loose stones, lab-grown, machinery) and email for appointments, attaching your buying brief and target price bands.
Days 7-5: Arrange a local SIM or eSIM, download Uber, Ola and BluSmart, and save the Bharat Mandapam location offline.
Days 7-5: Prepare a buying budget split between metal value, stone value and making charges so you can compare quotes quickly on the floor.
Days 5-3: Plan the Delhi sourcing circuit around the fair - Karol Bagh and Chandni Chowk/Dariba Kalan for the wholesale trade, and Nehru Place for the hotel base.
Days 5-3: Pack layers for chilly mornings and mild afternoons, comfortable shoes, an N95 mask for high-AQI days, and a universal adaptor for Indian sockets.
Days 3-1: Print or download the hall plan and mark must-visit booths; keep a notebook for hallmark and certificate checks on Polki sets and loose stones.
Each fair day: Arrive at opening, take the highest-value appointments before lunch, and photograph hallmark and certificate details of any stone you plan to buy.
After the fair: Reconcile quotes against making charges the same evening and confirm orders in writing with delivery dates and certification terms.
Carry photo ID, the registration confirmation and a business card; expect airport-style security screening at the Pragati Maidan gates.
