Exhibition infrastructure overview India has 24 exhibition centres. With addition of a new hall measuring 18,000sqm area in BIEC, demolition of Milan Mela and revamp of Pragati Maidan, the country’s total indoor capacity in 2018 is put at 436,000 sqm. The large venues are concentrated across the North, West and South region. The East and Central part of India have limited indoor capacities. India is rising to the challenge of meeting the growing demand for more large venue capacity. Some major projects are underway with 50% more capacity being added over next two years, when the total indoor capacity is expected to reach 635,000 sqm by the end of 2020.
