PM Modi Inaugurates NBCC Built International Exhibition-cum- Convention Centre, Pragati Maidan

New Delhi: Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi inaugurated the International Exhibition cum- Convention Centre (IECC) on 26th July2023. The unique and prestigious complex is built by NBCC. This venue will host G-20 Leaders Summit which is to be held in September under the presidency of India. Earlier Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi performed "Pooja" ahead of its official inauguration and felicitated workers who were the part of the construction of IECC Complex.

The IECC (Integrated Exhibition-cum-Convention Centre) implemented at a cost of more than Rs. 2600 Cr. has been built by NBCC, a Navratna CPSE under the aegis of Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs as a modern complex as part of the Pragati Maidan redevelopment project. The convention centre is built on an elevated podium, giving visitors a view of India Gate.

The Prime Minister applauded the tireless efforts, involvement and commitment in the construction of the project which is now dedicated to nation.

The IECC has the capacity to seat 7,000 people in its multi-purpose and plenary halls combined — larger than the iconic Sydney Opera House which can hold around 5,900 in its various halls.
