New Delhi, April 19, 2017: The rise and development of smart cities is a global phenomenon. And Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s plans to roll out 109 smart cities and upgrade existing cities under the Smart Cities Mission will enable India to emerge as a global leader. It is estimated that investments of US$2 trillion are required over 20 years to build Smart Cities in the country. Presently, 16 public private partnership Smart City projects worth Rs 1327.67 crores are being implemented and 36 PPP projects worth Rs 3925.71 crores are at various stages of tendering.
Building on the success of the previous two international Smart Cities expos, the Exhibitions India Group this May 10-12plays host to the One Mega Event 2017 at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi.

With emphasis on those who actively plan and implement smart projects, the event’s central goal is to establish connections between major players from the worlds of commerce, politics, research and development, making the event an unmissable occasion for the industry and decision makers alike,” said Prem Behl, Chairman, Exhibitions India Group.
