NODWIN Gaming has announced the return of Delhi Comic Con, with the two-day pop-culture festival scheduled for December 5–6, 2026, at NSIC Exhibition Grounds, New Delhi.
Comic Con India began in Delhi in 2011 as a close-knit gathering of passionate fans and has since grown into a nationwide fandom movement. The Delhi edition now attracts around 52,000 participants. Following last season’s landmark edition, Comic Con India is set to return to the capital this December.
Over the years, Comic Con India has evolved alongside its audience, bringing together comics, anime, manga, gaming, cosplay, creators, music, comedy and entertainment. The event has become a space for fans to celebrate their interests, discover new ones and connect with like-minded communities.
Shefali Johnson, CEO, Comic Con India, said, “Delhi and Comic Con have grown up together in many ways. People who came to our early editions as students are now coming back with their children, while younger fans are discovering a whole new world of anime, gaming, manga and cosplay. What we love about Delhi is how unapologetically fans here express themselves. You see it in the elaborate cosplays, the fan groups that plan their outfits months in advance, and the excitement that starts building well before the gates open. It has become one of those winter traditions that fans look forward to every year. After 15 years, seeing that excitement continue across generations is incredibly special, and we cannot wait to experience it with Delhi once again.”
Fans will also have the opportunity to meet authors behind New York Times-bestselling and Eisner Award-winning comics, as well as Indian and international creators, artists and storytellers.
Akshat Rathee, Co-founder and Managing Director, NODWIN Gaming, said, “Delhi holds a very special place in Comic Con India’s journey, as it was the first city to host the festival back in 2011. As the national capital, Delhi has always been a confluence of people and cultures from across India, and that diversity is a big part of what makes the city’s fandom so exciting. You can see it everywhere, from the city’s thriving theatre and art communities to its college campuses, bookstores, gaming cafes and the streets of Connaught Place and Hauz Khas. Comic Con brings all these worlds together under one roof, alongside fans who have made Delhi their home from different parts of the country. That coming together is what makes the Delhi edition truly special, and we are excited to see the capital turn up for Comic Con once again this winter.”
Delhi hosted India’s first Comic Con, laying the foundation for what has grown into one of the country’s largest pop-culture platforms. Comic Con India has since expanded to cities including Pune, Guwahati, Kochi and several others, connecting fans, creators and communities while contributing to the growth of India’s fandom culture.
Immersive installations, interactive experiences, VR and gaming zones, product showcases and community-led activations are now an integral part of the Comic Con experience, offering fans more ways to engage with the worlds and characters they love.
Cosplayers will once again take centre stage, bringing superheroes, comic-book legends, anime characters and gaming icons to life at India’s biggest cosplay competition and celebrating alongside thousands of like-minded fans.
