News this week: According to media reports, plans to build two convention centres
in India have been revealed.
The first, announced by the Maharashtra
Tourism Development Corporation (MTCD), is planned for Nashik in the state
of Maharashtra – located 180km from Mumbai and 202km from Pune. The venue site
is proposed 10km from Nashik’s city centre, and will include residential and
conference facilities for up to 1,000 delegates with potential supporting
amenities to include an amusement park and water sports attraction.
The second convention centre is planned in Mohali by the
Punjab state government, and will have a capacity of over 5,000 seats. There is
also reportedly space for an exhibition centre, with supporting facilities to
include a 300-room hotel and a commercial area to include service apartments,
resorts and offices.
Sarvjit Singh, chief administrator of Greater Mohali Area
Development Authority (GMADA), commented on the Mohali prospect, “The land has
already been acquired for the convention centre, which is a part of existing
Knowledge City. Also, GMADA has given a mandate to Punjab Infrastructure
Development Board (PIDB) for the development of convention centre… PIDB will
hire a consultant for the project and would ask them to conduct a feasibility
study of the project.”
