    South Asia — New Delhi, India (Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan, central Delhi)

    Why it matters

    India is running one of the world's largest transport build-outs — metro rail expansion across dozens of cities, electric bus and fleet programmes, dedicated freight corridors and highway upgrades — and Transport India 2027 concentrates the OEMs, component suppliers, systems integrators and public authorities behind it in one venue in central New Delhi. For exporters and technology providers, it is a comparatively low-cost route to state transport undertakings, metro corporations, fleet owners and logistics buyers, with the wider ITPO/Exhibitions India event cluster at Bharat Mandapam adding adjacent infrastructure and mobility audiences in the same trip.

    A range of accommodation options near the venue and across key areas.

    Budget
    Paharganj / New Delhi Railway Station area, roughly 4–6 km from Bharat Mandapam

    Basic but functional rooms; the Blue Line metro links this area towards the Pragati Maidan / Supreme Court corridor. Check reviews for noise and hot-water reliability.

    Mid-range
    Connaught Place / Barakhamba Road, roughly 3–5 km from the venue

    Best balance of meeting facilities and short commute; Aerocity properties suit early flights and have the shortest airport transfer.

    Premium
    Central Delhi — Man Singh Road / Chanakyapuri, roughly 5–8 km from the venue

    Full-service business hotels with club lounges and reliable car transfers — book early, as March is a busy conference month in Delhi.

    Estimated cost≈INR 400–900 per trip (≈USD 5–11) for app-based cabs or prepaid airport taxi
    Best forIndira Gandhi International (DEL) to Bharat Mandapam

    ride_hail

    Estimated cost≈INR 200–600 per short city trip (≈USD 2.50–7)
    Best forUber / Ola across central New Delhi and to Bharat Mandapam

    Widely used and usually cheaper than hotel cars; set the pick-up point carefully at the venue because of traffic restrictions around Pragati Maidan.

    auto_rickshaw

    Estimated cost≈INR 50–200 per trip (≈USD 0.60–2.50)
    Best forShort hops in central Delhi and the Pragati Maidan fringe

    Cultural notes

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Business etiquette

    A handshake is common in business settings, but many Indian counterparts prefer a namaste with palms together — follow their lead. Exchange business cards, use titles (Mr/Ms/Dr) until invited otherwise, and expect meetings to open with introductions and small talk before commercial detail.

    Tipping

    Restaurants typically add a service charge; otherwise 5–10% is expected. Small tips (INR 50–200) are customary for hotel porters, housekeeping, drivers and guides, and cash is preferred.

    Dress and conduct

    Business formal or smart business casual is appropriate at the venue. For temples and heritage sites, dress modestly, cover shoulders and knees, and remove shoes before entering; ask before photographing people or religious sites.
