This year’s fair will remain open from 10 am to 7:30 pm between November 19 and 26, and from 10 am to 4:30 pm on the concluding day, November 27, with public entry permitted only until 5:30 pm daily.

In a significant change, no ticket counters will operate at the Bharat Mandapam gates or at Supreme Court Metro Station. Visitors must therefore purchase entry passes in advance through the ITPO website, the DMRC Sarthi app, or from 55 designated Metro stations. Authorities have stressed the importance of pre-booking to avoid queues and last-minute inconvenience.
