The International Exhibition-cum-Convention Centre (IECC) complex, developed at a cost of roughly Rs 2,700 crore, was dedicated to the nation by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The International Exhibition-cum-Convention Centre (IECC) at Pragati Maidan was conceptualised in response to the Prime Minister’s desire for the nation to have top-notch facilities for hosting meetings, conferences, and exhibits.

According to an official statement, the project, which modernised Pragati Maidan’s antiquated and obsolete facilities, was constructed as a national project at a cost of roughly Rs 2700 crore. The IECC complex is India’s largest MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) destination, with a campus area of over 123 acres.

The release said, “The Convention Centre is developed as the centrepiece of the Pragati Maidan complex. It is a grand architectural marvel, designed to host large-scale international exhibitions, trade fairs, conventions, conferences, and other prestigious events. It is equipped with multiple meeting rooms, lounges, auditoriums, an amphitheatre and a business centre, making it capable of hosting a wide range of events.”
“Its majestic multi-purpose hall and plenary hall have a combined capacity of seven thousand people, which is larger than the seating capacity of the famous Sydney Opera House in Australia. Its magnificent Amphitheater is equipped with a seating capacity of 3,000 individuals,” it added.
