The India Expo Centre & Mart (IEM), operated by India Exposition Mart Limited (IEML), is one of India's major integrated exhibition, convention, trade and business-event complexes. It is located in Knowledge Park-II, Greater Noida, Gautam Buddha Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, within the Delhi National Capital Region (Delhi-NCR).

Although people frequently call it the "Noida Expo Mart", its actual location is in Greater Noida, close to Pari Chowk and the Knowledge Park-II area.

The complex combines large exhibition halls, conference and meeting facilities, permanent trade marts/showrooms, open event areas, restaurants, logistics infrastructure, warehousing, parking, security systems and other supporting facilities within a single campus.

According to India Expo Centre & Mart, the complex occupies approximately 58 acres and has a built-up area of approximately 234,453.29 square metres.

It has hosted some of India's best-known exhibitions and international conferences, including Auto Expo – The Motor Show, IHGF Delhi Fair, ELECRAMA, PrintPack, CPHI/P-MEC, Asian Development Bank meetings, World Dental Congress and numerous industrial, technology, renewable-energy, handicraft and business events.

MICE stands for:

• M – Meetings
• I – Incentives
• C – Conferences/Conventions
• E – Exhibitions/Events

Unlike an ordinary exhibition ground, IEM combines several functions in the same complex:

1. Exhibition venue
2. Convention centre
3. Conference centre
4. Permanent B2B trade mart
5. International sourcing centre
6. Corporate-event venue
7. Meeting facility
8. Warehousing and logistics facility
9. Food and hospitality infrastructure
10. Large-scale event-management infrastructure

The facility describes itself as a technology-driven venue capable of accommodating international B2B exhibitions, conferences, congresses, product launches, promotional events, seminars, meetings, ramp shows and gala events.

2. Where is India Expo Centre & Mart Located?

The official address is:

India Expo Centre & Mart
Plot No. 23–25 & 27–29
Knowledge Park-II

3. When Was India Expo Centre & Mart Created?

The history of the project goes back considerably further than its formal inauguration.

According to an IEML industry report, one of the early inspirations for creating such a facility emerged in the 1990s, when the Indian handicrafts export industry faced limitations in accessing international exhibition and permanent showroom infrastructure.

The idea developed into a plan for a world-class exhibition and export centre inspired partly by international facilities in places such as Dallas, Atlanta and Los Angeles in the United States, Utrecht in the Netherlands and Shanghai in China.

The Government of India's Press Information Bureau reported that the physical infrastructure was constructed in approximately 30 months, involving an investment of around ₹400 crore at that time.

The India Expo Centre & Mart was formally inaugurated on:

6 January 2006

The inauguration was performed by the then Prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh.

4. Who Founded or Created India Expo Centre & Mart?

There is an important distinction between the person who conceptualised the project and the organisations that promoted and developed it.

Dr. Rakesh Kumar – The Conceptual Vision

According to India Expo Centre & Mart's official history, Dr. Rakesh Kumar, Chairman of India Exposition Mart Limited and associated with the Export Promotion Council for Handicrafts (EPCH), conceptualised the state-of-the-art Exhibition and Mart infrastructure at Greater Noida.

The concept was intended to create permanent and temporary infrastructure where Indian manufacturers and exporters could interact with international buyers and conduct exhibitions and sourcing activities in India.

Organisations Behind the Project

A Government of India Press Information Bureau release from January 2006 described India Exposition Mart as a Special Purpose Vehicle promoted jointly by:

• Export Promotion Council for Handicrafts (EPCH)
• Development Commissioner (Handicrafts), Ministry of Textiles, Government of India
• Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority
• Exporters and manufacturers from the handicrafts industry

 

IEML has also described the initiative as a public-private partnership, involving EPCH, Greater Noida Development Authority and stakeholders from the handicrafts and textiles sectors.

Therefore, describing a single individual as the sole "founder" would oversimplify the project's history.

A more accurate description is:

Dr. Rakesh Kumar was a principal conceptual force behind the project, while India Exposition Mart Limited was developed through a collaborative public-private initiative involving EPCH, government bodies, Greater Noida authorities and industry stakeholders.

5. Who Laid the Foundation Stone?

According to IEML's official Chairman's Desk, the foundation stone of India Expo Centre & Mart was laid by the then Deputy Prime Minister of India:

Shri L. K. Advani.

The completed complex was subsequently inaugurated by Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh in January 2006.

6. Why Was India Expo Centre & Mart Created?

The original objective extended beyond simply constructing another exhibition hall.

India required a large integrated platform where:

• Indian manufacturers could display products
• Exporters could maintain permanent showrooms
• International buyers could source products in India
• Large B2B exhibitions could be organised
• International conferences could be hosted
• Export-oriented industries could interact with overseas buyers
• Multiple exhibitions could operate in large dedicated halls
• Business delegations could conduct meetings
• The MICE industry could develop modern infrastructure

The project particularly addressed the requirements of India's handicrafts and export community.

Over time, however, its function expanded dramatically.

Today, the venue accommodates industries far beyond handicrafts.

7. How Large is India Expo Centre & Mart?

This is one of the most impressive aspects of the complex.

Total Land Area

Approximately:

58 acres

This is roughly:

234,700 square metres of land

or approximately:

2.52 million square feet of land.

Built-Up Area

The official reported built-up complex is approximately:

234,453.29 square metres

which equals roughly:

2.52 million square feet.

The figures can appear confusing because the land area and built-up floor area are numerically similar when expressed in square metres. Built-up area can include floor space distributed through multiple structures and levels.

8. Exhibition Area

The official company information reported an exhibition area of approximately:

73,308 square metres

as of 31 December 2021.

This enormous indoor exhibition capacity allows several exhibitions, conferences or associated activities to operate simultaneously.

9. Exhibition Halls

The complex has multiple large multipurpose exhibition halls.

According to the venue's published capacity specifications:

Halls 1–8

Approximately:

3,456 sq. metres each

Halls 9–12

Approximately:

6,250 sq. metres each

Halls 14–15

Approximately:

6,120 sq. metres each

The published hall capacity chart reports approximately 64,948 square metres across the listed hall configuration.

Different official publications may describe the number/configuration of halls differently because of changes in venue configuration and how interconnected or multipurpose spaces are counted.

10. Conference and Meeting Infrastructure

India Expo Centre & Mart isn't restricted to large exhibition floors.

According to official information, the complex includes approximately:

29 meeting rooms

along with exhibition halls and dedicated meeting/convention infrastructure.

These spaces allow organisers to simultaneously conduct:

• Conferences
• Board meetings
• Seminars
• Product presentations
• Training sessions
• International buyer meetings
• Press conferences
• Workshops
• B2B meetings
• Government meetings
• Corporate presentations

11. Permanent Trade Marts

One feature that differentiates India Expo Centre & Mart from many conventional exhibition centres is its permanent trade mart concept.

Official historical information reported more than 800 permanent showrooms of Indian exporters as of December 2021.

A newer India Expo Mart sourcing portal describes 900+ permanent trade marts, illustrating the continuing scale of the sourcing ecosystem.

Products represented may include:

• Home décor
• Furniture
• Furnishings
• Kitchenware
• Handicrafts
• Textiles
• Carpets
• Fashion accessories
• Lifestyle products
• Decorative products
• Gifts

This permanent-mart model enables international and domestic buyers to interact with manufacturers and exporters beyond temporary exhibitions.

Large events such as UPITS can attract hundreds of thousands of visitors over several days, requiring special parking, security and traffic-management arrangements.

15. Technical Infrastructure

A large international exhibition centre requires significantly more engineering infrastructure than an ordinary commercial building.

India Expo Centre & Mart's published technical specifications include several important systems.

Central Air Conditioning

The halls are centrally air-conditioned.

The published capacity chart indicates cooling infrastructure in the range of:

5,200–10,000 TR

depending upon configuration.

16. Electrical Power Infrastructure

Large exhibitions can consume substantial electrical power because of:

• Exhibition lighting
• Machinery demonstrations
• Air conditioning
• Audio/video systems
• Restaurants

Exhibition halls require easy access to electrical and other technical services.

IEM's specifications state that floor ports are provided approximately every 6.5 metres.

These service points make temporary booth installation easier and reduce the need to route extensive cables over exhibition floors.

19. Freight Lifts

Moving industrial machinery, exhibition structures and large displays requires heavy-duty logistics infrastructure.

The venue lists:

20 freight lifts

with approximately:

5-tonne capacity each.

This is particularly important during exhibition setup and dismantling periods.

20. Passenger Lifts

The published specifications also list:

12 visitor lifts

with approximately:

1-tonne / 13-person capacity.

21. Escalators

The venue reports approximately:

30 escalators.

Escalators become important when thousands of attendees need to move between halls, foyers and different levels.

22. Warehousing and Storage

Exhibitions require temporary storage for:

• Packaging
• Booth materials
• Promotional products
• Machinery
• Product inventory
• Empty cartons
• Logistics equipment

The venue reports approximately:

10,000 square metres of storage and warehousing facilities.

23. Floor Loading Capacity

Industrial exhibitions may display extremely heavy machinery.

The published floor-loading specifications range across different areas from approximately:

750 kg/sq. metre to extremely heavy-duty loading configurations reaching 30,000 kg/sq. metre.

Actual permitted loading must always be confirmed with venue engineering management before placing heavy machinery.

24. Ceiling Height

Depending on the hall, the clear ceiling height ranges approximately from:

5.3 metres to 13.5 metres.

High ceilings enable:

• Large exhibition booths
• Hanging signage
• Industrial equipment
• Lighting rigs
• Stage installations
• Large banners
• Vehicle displays

25. Vehicle Access to Exhibition Halls

Large exhibition halls need loading access for trucks and commercial vehicles.

Some venue entrances have dimensions of approximately:

7 metres wide × 8 metres high

while other hall vehicle entrances are approximately:

7.5 metres wide × 5.5 metres high.

These entrances facilitate movement of exhibition equipment and large displays.

26. Fire and Life-Safety Systems

India Expo Centre & Mart lists:

• Fire alarm systems
• Fire-fighting systems
• 24×7 fire control rooms
• Safety infrastructure
• Security systems

The facility also reports certifications including:

ISO 9001:2015
ISO 14001:2015
ISO 45001:2018

These relate respectively to quality management, environmental management and occupational health and safety management systems.

27. Food and Dining Facilities

Large exhibitions frequently run for an entire day, making food infrastructure essential.

Official information reports four speciality restaurants as part of the complex, in addition to event-dependent catering and food facilities.

During major exhibitions, organisers may also arrange additional temporary food counters, cafés and refreshment facilities.

28. Buyers' Lounge

The facility includes a Buyers' Lounge designed especially for business visitors and international buyers.

Such areas are useful for:

• Business discussions
• Buyer meetings
• Rest
• Networking
• B2B interaction

This is particularly important during large export-oriented fairs such as IHGF Delhi Fair.

29. Foreign Exchange Facility

Official venue information also identifies a foreign exchange outlet among its visitor/business facilities.

This is particularly relevant because major trade exhibitions attract international delegates and buyers.

30. Logistics Support

Large exhibitions involve complicated movement of products and infrastructure.

India Expo Centre & Mart provides logistics-related support for:

• Exhibitor material
• Freight movement
• Exhibition booth equipment
• Heavy products
• Warehousing
• Loading/unloading
• Material handling

Availability and charges for particular logistics services should always be confirmed with the event organiser or venue.

31. Internal Transportation

The published venue specifications mention multiple:

• Buggies
• E-rickshaws

for internal transportation.

Their availability can depend upon the event and operating arrangements.

32. Parking at India Expo Centre & Mart

Parking is one of the most important considerations when attending a major exhibition.

The venue describes itself as providing extensive parking facilities.

Parking arrangements, however, may change substantially depending on the scale of the event.

For normal events, parking may be available within or around designated venue areas.

For extremely large exhibitions, organisers and traffic authorities may establish:

• Dedicated visitor parking
• Exhibitor parking
• VIP parking
• Bus parking
• Taxi/drop-off zones
• Shuttle parking
• Overflow parking
• Special traffic diversions

For example, major UP International Trade Show arrangements have involved separate parking and traffic-management plans around the Expo Mart and Knowledge Park-II area.

Important Parking Advice

Visitors should not assume that the same parking gate will operate for every exhibition.

Always check the specific event's:

• Visitor pass
• Parking instructions
• Gate number
• Event website
• SMS/email advisory
• Traffic Police advisory

before travelling.

During major exhibitions, reaching the venue early is strongly recommended.

33. How to Reach India Expo Centre & Mart by Metro

Metro is often one of the most convenient ways of reaching the Expo Centre during high-traffic exhibitions.

The venue is located close to the Knowledge Park II Metro Station on the Noida Metro Aqua Line.

Depending on the event entrance and gate being used, visitors can continue from the station by:

• Walking
• E-rickshaw
• Auto-rickshaw
• Event shuttle, where provided

Visitors travelling from Delhi generally need to connect into the Noida Metro network before continuing toward Greater Noida.

Because Metro routes and interchange arrangements can change, visitors should check the latest operational route before travelling.

34. How to Reach by Car from Delhi

The official venue travel information identifies several routes.

Route 1 – Via DND / Noida

A common route is:

Delhi → DND/Noida → Noida-Greater Noida Expressway → Greater Noida → Knowledge Park-II → India Expo Centre & Mart

Route 2 – Via Mathura Road / Kalindi Kunj

These routes are described in the venue's official travel guidance.

35. Noida-Greater Noida Expressway Connectivity

One of the major advantages of the venue is access through the high-capacity Noida-Greater Noida Expressway.

The road connects Greater Noida with Noida and subsequently with Delhi through several major routes.

It also provides onward connectivity toward the Yamuna Expressway.

36. Airport Connectivity

For international visitors, the traditional major airport serving Delhi-NCR is Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL).

The venue's official travel page estimates an airport travel time of approximately:

60–90 minutes

under favourable conditions.

However, actual travel time can vary considerably depending on:

• Delhi traffic
• Time of day
• Exhibition traffic
• Weather
• Road diversions
• Security arrangements

Visitors should allow significantly more time during major exhibitions.

37. Nearby Hotels

Greater Noida has developed a substantial hospitality ecosystem because of the Expo Mart, educational institutions, corporate activity and Formula One-era infrastructure development.

Hotels can be found around:

• Knowledge Park
• Pari Chowk
• Greater Noida
• Noida
• Noida Expressway

During major international exhibitions, nearby hotels can become heavily booked, so advance reservation is advisable.

38. Security Infrastructure

Large international exhibitions require advanced security arrangements.

Depending on the event, security measures may include:

• CCTV surveillance
• Access-control systems
• Visitor badges
• Registration verification
• Baggage screening
• Metal detectors
• Security personnel
• Fire control

• Signage systems

is designed to handle large visitor volumes.

The venue's published specifications report a foyer area of approximately:

8,420 square metres.

40. Why India Expo Centre & Mart is Important for Indian Business

The importance of India Expo Centre & Mart extends beyond hosting exhibitions.

It acts as an interface between:

Indian manufacturers → Exporters → International buyers → Distributors → Government agencies → Industry associations → Technology providers → Investors

This ecosystem helps Indian businesses showcase products without necessarily having to travel overseas for every sourcing interaction.

41. Role in Indian Exports

The project's origins are strongly connected with the export-promotion ecosystem, particularly handicrafts.

The permanent trade-mart model allows Indian exporters to showcase products throughout the year.

International buyers can therefore visit India, examine products and communicate directly with manufacturers and exporters.

This can contribute to:

• Export promotion
• International buyer development
• B2B networking
• Product sourcing
• MSME exposure
• Manufacturer-buyer interaction
• International trade development

42. Importance to Greater Noida

India Expo Centre & Mart has also contributed to establishing Greater Noida as an important MICE destination within Delhi-NCR.

Large exhibitions generate demand for:

• Hotels
• Restaurants
• Taxis
• Metro transportation
• Event-management companies
• Security agencies
• Logistics providers
• Exhibition booth fabricators
• Printing businesses
• Audio-video companies
• Catering businesses
• Temporary staffing
• Advertising companies

The economic impact therefore extends beyond the Expo Centre itself.
