Through out the fair, there will be more than ten new launches and 800 International exhibitors from
A total of Rs. 10 billion has been earned from order bookings. There are many companies who are showing interest to attend the show at the last moment but organizers are facing huge difficulty as there is no extra space at the current venue.
