Pune : The Pune Metropolitan Regional Development Authority (PMRDA) has announced plans to construct the Pune International Exhibition and Convention Centre (PIECC) in Moshi, located in the Pimpri-Chinchwad area. Spanning 246 acres, this will be India’s largest facility of its kind.
Yogesh Mhase, PMRDA commissioner, highlighted the project’s ambitious scope, stating, “This world-class, integrated facility will serve the global MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) industry. PIECC will feature a 1,05,000 sqm covered exhibition area, a 98,000 sqm open exhibition space, a 5,000-seater convention hall, a five-star hotel, commercial and recreational spaces, and parking capacity for 6,792 cars and 592 trucks. Designed to meet international standards, it will facilitate B2B and B2C interactions across diverse industries.”
The project will be developed under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, with PMRDA inviting Expressions of Interest (EOI) from domestic and international firms. The submission deadline for EOIs is February 16, 2025.
PMRDA has already invested ₹150 crore in initial infrastructure development. This includes an 8-kilometre internal road network, the 98,000 sqm open exhibition area, and amenities such as an entry gate, VIP lounge, restrooms, open parking, landscaping, and beautification. The infrastructure also features water supply systems, wastewater management, an electric substation, and fencing. This landmark project aims to establish Pune as a premier hub for global exhibitions and conventions.
