The highly anticipated Kanpur Convention Centre, costing ₹96.1 crore, is set to open its doors in June 2025, marking a significant milestone in the city’s infrastructure development. During a surprise inspection, Mayor Pramila Pandey urged officials to ensure the timely completion of this “dream project,” which promises to position Kanpur as a key destination for business events, cultural showcases, and social gatherings.
World-Class Facilities for a Dynamic City:
Inspired by a world-class convention facility in Gujarat, Mayor Pandey envisioned a venue tailored to Kanpur’s thriving industrial and cultural landscape. The state-of-the-art centre will feature:
- Two expansive exhibition halls (16,000 sq. ft. and 12,000 sq. ft.)
- A 300-seat conference hall
- Three 100-seater meeting rooms
- Six guest rooms and two luxury suites
- An 8,000 sq. ft. food court
- Parking for 68 vehicles
These facilities are designed to host a wide range of events, from trade shows and conferences to cultural performances and community gatherings.
Mayor Pandey emphasized that the convention centre reflects the spirit of Atmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India, showcasing Kanpur’s commitment to self-reliance and innovation. The facility is expected to enhance the city’s profile as a hub for business and cultural exchange, attracting both national and international attention.
Upon completion, the Kanpur Municipal Corporation will oversee the centre’s operations, guided by a strategic manual developed by IIM Indore. This ensures long-term efficiency and alignment with the city’s vision for sustainable growth and community engagement.
The Kanpur Convention Centre is poised to become a cornerstone of the city’s development, blending modern infrastructure with cultural and economic significance. As the June 2025 opening approaches, the facility promises to serve as a vibrant hub for Kanpur’s diverse communities, driving growth and innovation.
