The complex is likely to be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. As part of the Pragati Maidan redevelopment project, the IECC (Integrated Exhibition-cum-Convention Centre) is being built as a modern complex
In January 2017, the government approved the proposal of ITPO for the redevelopment of Pragati Maidan by setting up of a world-class IECC in the national capital. The total cost of the project is Rs 2,254 crore. The growing MICE sector needs this kind of investment in the country
The redevelopment of Pragati Maidan was envisaged in two phases. With a campus area of about 123 acres, the complex will be one of the largest MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) destinations, the ministry said
"The redeveloped ITPO complex, which will host India's G20 leaders meetings will be inaugurated on 26th July," it said
ITPO is a body under the commerce ministry. It runs the exhibition centre at Pragati Maidan and is developing IECC. The ministry said that at level 3 of the complex, a 7,000 seating capacity convention centre has been developed
