Chief Minister Directs Development of World-Class Convention Centre in Nagpur by 2029 Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday directed officials to expedite the development of a world-class convention and exhibition centre near Nagpur airport, aiming to have it operational by 2029. The project, described as transformative by Fadnavis, is intended to elevate Nagpur’s status as a national and international hub for business, tourism, and large-scale events. During a high-level review meeting in Mumbai, the chief minister emphasized the need to adhere to the timeline by accelerating land transfer, tendering processes, and construction activities. Fadnavis highlighted the strategic alignment of the project with the planned urban expansion around Nagpur airport, leveraging the city’s existing air, rail, and road connectivity to maximize its economic potential. He stressed that the centre must be capable of hosting global events and attracting significant investment, positioning Nagpur as a competitive destination for conventions and exhibitions. The project’s design was also to incorporate modern architecture, advanced technology, and environmental sustainability, with a focus on energy-efficient systems, green technologies, and eco-friendly construction practices. The chief minister further outlined the project’s broader economic implications, noting its potential to create a skilled workforce in sectors such as hospitality, media, event management, and tourism. This, he argued, would reinforce Nagpur’s emergence as a major destination for industry-related events and services. Additionally, Fadnavis emphasized the need for the facility to evolve beyond a purely commercial venue, transforming it into a cultural landmark for the city.#nagpur #mumbai #devendra_fadnavis #nagpur_airport #convention_centre
