India Art Fair will return for its 18th edition at the NSIC Exhibition Grounds in New Delhi from 4 to 7 February 2027, with more than 120 exhibitors spanning galleries, institutions and design practices from India and abroad. The fair announced its full exhibitor list on 2 November, building on the dates it confirmed in October.

Returning international galleries include David Zwirner, Galleria Continua, neugerriemschneider, Carpenters, Whitestone Gallery and Sundaram Tagore Gallery. Newcomers include London's Chilli and Opera Gallery, which has 16 locations worldwide. Leading Indian galleries feature prominently, among them Nature Morte, Vadehra Art Gallery, Chemould Prescott Road, Jhaveri Contemporary, Experimenter and DAG, while three Delhi galleries, Gallery Vayu, Gallery XXL and Pristine Contemporary, join for the first time.

The fair's Focus section will present solo presentations by artists including Rina Banerjee with Vadehra Art Gallery, Sameer Kulavoor with TARQ and Ketaki Sarpotdar with LATITUDE 28. Its Platform section continues to spotlight South Asian craft and Indigenous artistic traditions, including a Tantric art survey drawn from the Crites Collection and ICA Gallery. Artist Jitish Kallat will reimagine the fair's facade.

The edition will also mark the sixth outing of the BMW India-backed Future Is Born of Art Commission. Fair director Jaya Asokan said the 18th edition reflects the remarkable energy and ambition of South Asia's artistic landscape today, as the fair consolidates its position as the region's leading platform for modern and contemporary art.

BMW India has backed the fair as presenting partner for 11 years, and the 2027 edition follows a 17th edition in February 2026 that drew a record-scale exhibitor list, underlining how the February fair has become the anchor event for the South Asian art market calendar.
