Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta inaugurated the Delhi Pavilion at the 45th India International Trade Fair (IITF) at Bharat Mandapam on Saturday, according to reports by India Today and The Hindu. Delhi has been named the Focus State at this year's fair.

The exhibits showcase the capital's heritage, development projects, and environmental efforts, including Namo Van, Swachh Yamuna, and the promotion of electric vehicles.
