Convention, exhibition centres brought under infrastructure sector

The government has expanded the definition of infrastructure to include exhibition-cum-convention centres.

A finance ministry notification said convention and exhibition centres had been included in the harmonised master list of infrastructure sub-sectors under the social and commercial infrastructure sub-sector.

To qualify under the category, projects will require a minimum built-up floor area of 100,000 square metres of exclusively exhibition space or convention space, the notification issued Tuesday said.
