The construction work of the International Convention and Exhibition Centre will begin at Moshi early 2012, said Pimpri Chinchwad municipal commissioner Ashish Sharma, after the inauguration of the sixth edition of the engineering expo at Autocluster in Chinchwad on Friday.
"We have a shortage of large exhibition venues in the country and there are large venues only at Delhi, Bangalore and Mumbai. We are developing an international convention and exhibition centre at Moshi. The master plan is ready. We have invited bids for construction of the first phase of this project and hope to start construction of two exhibition halls and convention centre in the first phase by early 2012," Sharma said.
He said that the centre has the potential to become the biggest in Asia.
The Engineering Expo 2011 will be open to public till November 21. There are 225 stalls. Manufacturers of machines, tools and accessories; hydraulics and pneumatics and instrumentation, besides light and medium industries, IT products and services units, automation, electrical and electronics, material handling equipment and process plant machinery and equipment are participating in the expo.
R Bhaskar, plant head, commercial vehicle business unit, Tata Motors, said, "The growth of Indian economy depends, to a great extent, on the growth of the manufacturing sector. Moreover, India's growth has to cover all sections of the industry. Therefore, an event like the engineering expo not only gives manufacturers an opportunity to showcase their products, but also allow technology-related learning to be shared and transferred between all stakeholders."
RV Krishnan, chairman, Business Development Bureau (India) said, "If Maharashtra has to progress, one should demand abolition of octroi. The production process needs to be streamlined. Small and medium enterprises are the backbone of the industry. It's a shame that the industry did not take a stand on India Against Corruption and did not support Anna Hazare's movement."
