Karnataka Plans World-Class Convention Centre and Exhibition Facilities at KTPO Site
The Karnataka government plans to develop the 48.35-acre KTPO site in Bengaluru's Whitefield with a world-class convention centre, exhibition halls, and event spaces. Industries Minister MB Patil, along with ITPO chairman Javed Ashraf, reviewed existing infrastructure and proposed a five-acre global-standard facility. The project aims to surpass Mumbai's Jio World Convention Centre and avoid shortcomings seen in Delhi's Bharat Mandapam and Yashobhoomi. Plans include parking for 500 cars and multifunctional spaces for conventions, exhibitions, and cultural events.
