New Delhi: The five-day Uttar Pradesh International Trade Show (UPITS) 2026 concluded on Tuesday with the signing of 4,400 Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) worth approximately Rs 6,500 crore while potential business worth around Rs 15,500 crore was estimated from business enquiries received during the event.

As per data from the Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO), a total of 41,500 B2B and business meetings were recorded. Of these, 13,500 meetings took place in the Reverse Buyer-Seller Meet organised by FIEO, while around 28,000 business interactions were recorded in the main exhibition area.

“The achievement of 41,500 B2B and business meetings, 4,400 MoUs valued at approximately Rs 6,500 crore, and potential business inquiries of around Rs 15,500 crore reflects the growing depth of trade opportunities emerging from the state,” said FIEO president SC Ralhan.


Over the course of five days, the trade show recorded a total footfall of almost six lakh visitors and business buyers, comprising 1.75 lakh domestic business buyers and 4.23 lakh general visitors.

“Business inquiries also saw a 24% rise, with the potential business value estimated to have grown from Rs 12,500 crore to Rs 15,500 crore,” FIEO said.

The trade show’s international reach was also far more extensive this time than ever before. While Russia was the sole partner country in the previous edition, this year a total of six nations—Russia, Austria, Japan, Singapore, Belarus, and Vietnam—participated as partner countries. Foreign delegations showed keen interest in the state’s manufacturing, IT, electronics, textile, and agri-food processing sectors.

As per the apex body of exporters, the ambitious 'One District, One Cuisine (ODOC)' initiative remained a major attraction for both foreign and domestic buyers throughout the event. Traditional crafts, handlooms, brass products, carpets, leather goods, and unique agricultural products from the state’s 75 districts gained direct access to the global market.
