Prime Minister Narendra Modi conducted a pooja and havan ceremony at the redeveloped India Trade Promotion Organisation (ITPO) complex located at Pragati Maidan. Subsequently, he officially dedicated the modernized complex to the nation. During the auspicious event, Prime Minister Modi also took the opportunity to felicitate the construction workers who contributed to the successful completion of the new ITPO complex. Accompanying the Prime Minister at the ceremony were Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, members of the Council of Ministers, and various other dignitaries. The newly revamped International Exhibition-cum-Convention Centre (IECC) is a national project that involved significant investment, with costs amounting to approximately Rs 2,700 crore. The ambitious project aimed to revitalize and modernize the outdated facilities at Pragati Maidan, providing a state-of-the-art venue for various events and exhibitions. With a sprawling campus area of approximately 123 acres, the IECC promises to be a landmark development in the heart of the city.
