Pragati Maidan Integrated Exhibition & Convention Centre

Pragati Maidan International Exhibition & Convention Centre is a world-class venue for exhibitions and conventions showcasing India's approach to the future while respecting architectural traditions. The 123-acre site provides over 100,000 sqm of exhibition space, with multi-purpose halls and a Convention Centre for 13,500 people.
Circular geometry depicts equal respect for the public and civic importance. Selected materials, colour palette, stepped platforms, arranged trees, water features, and colonnades are a reference to Delhi's past and its transformation for the future. The Civic Plaza creates interactions and memories, inspired by a painting of two fish representing the Yamuna and Ganga rivers.
The complex design process involved many stakeholders and constraints for the highest security for VIPs while granting access to the mass public.
The development responds to elements like the wind and sun path; and variables like sightlines to iconic locations, the axes that continue the Lutyens’ masterplan, Vaastu Principles, and public transport networks. The main Plenary Hall is elevated from the ground for security, flood prevention, and importantly to create a “Window to Delhi”.
