Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Wednesday, will dedicate to the nation the International Exhibition-cum-Convention Centre (IECC) complex at Pragati Maidan developed at an estimated cost of ₹2,700 crore.
It is India’s largest MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) destination and finds a place among the top exhibition and convention complexes across the world, according to the Commerce & Industry Ministry.
“The newly-built complex will play a key role in promoting India as a global business destination,” a statement issued by the government earlier this week noted.
The complex, spread over 123 acres, has multiple state-of-the-art facilities including a new convention centre, exhibition halls, and amphitheaters.
“A grand architectural marvel, the convention centre will host large-scale international exhibitions and conferences,” the release said.
Developed in the shape of the ‘Shankha’, it incorporates several architectural elements of India’s traditional art and culture, it said.
