PM Narendra Modi dedicated to the nation the International Exhibition-cum-Convention Centre (IECC) complex at Pragati Maidan, Delhi.
The Centre wanting a world-class infrastructure for hosting meetings, conferences, and exhibitions in the country, led to the conceptualisation of the IECC at Pragati Maidan. The Convention Centre, coined with the beautiful name Bharat Mandapam is one of the largest in the world with a capacity of 3000 people. It is a grand architectural marvel, designed to host large-scale international exhibitions, trade fairs, conventions, conferences, and other prestigious events.
Other facilities available in the Convention Centre include a 5G-enabled, fully Wi-Fi-covered campus, 10G Intranet connectivity, interpreter room equipped with cutting-edge technology to support 16 different languages, advanced AV systems with huge-sized video walls, building management system ensuring optimal functionality and energy efficiency, light management system with dimming and occupancy sensors, state-of-the-art DCN (Data Communication Network) system, integrated surveillance system, energy-efficient centralised air conditioning system, and a provision for over 5,500 vehicle parking spaces.
Further, the IECC complex features seven exhibition halls and each one serves as a versatile space for hosting exhibitions, trade fairs, and business events. The exhibition halls are designed to accommodate a diverse range of industries and showcase products and services from around the world. These state-of-the-art structures are a testament to modern engineering and architectural prowess.
Taming it as a landmark development, T Rajkumar, Chairman, Confederation of Indian Textile Industry (CITI) appreciated the Government for this convention centre and said that IECC’s state-of-the-art facilities will help to project India as a global business destination. It will definitely play a great role in boosting trade, and will also enhance economic growth and the growth of small and medium enterprises as this is exactly the platform to showcase their products and services on a global stage.
It can be mentioned here that Delhi-NCR being a hub of the textile and apparel industry was looking for such a state of the art exhibition centre.
