1.3 What are the likely impacts of the proposed activity on the existing facilities adjacent to the proposed
site? (Such as open spaces, community facilities, details of the existing land use and disturbance to the
local ecology).
1.3.1 Impact on Existing facilities
The proposed project is to be developed in an area of 89.72 hectare. The site has been designated for
Public Semi Public use as per the Delhi Master Plan. The project will involve construction of roads and
other infrastructures, green areas, open spaces, commercial spaces etc. With these upcoming

structures, it is expected that the land use pattern of the area will be enhanced without compromising on
the socio-economic status of the local people
1.3.2 Impact on land use

The site is located in an urban landscape. The development of the project will lead to a positive change
in aesthetics and visual appeal of the region. Notification has been issued by Ministry of Urban
th
Development dated 12 May, 2016 describing the modification in the land use of land proposed for
development of ECC falling in Zone-II (Dwarka). According to the notification, the land use is changed to
Public, Semi Public and socio-cultural facilities from the previous commercial land use.
1.3.3 Impact on Ecology
The site area is a flat land with limited vegetation around the site. The survey-area (extending up to 10
km from the boundary of the project site) consists of highly degraded thorn forests, with much of the
land converted into farmland, pasture, plantations, and most of the rest occupied by habitations. The
project construction activities will necessarily comprise of removal of vegetation. Clearing of vegetation
on the site will involve removal of local floral species found on the site.
It is expected that the development of this project, will bring in improvement in the landscape of the
area. It has been planned to plant trees and develop lawns interspersed with project facilities together
with conservation of existing plantations.
1.4 Will there be any significant land disturbance resulting in erosion, subsidence & instability? (Details of
soil type, slope analysis, vulnerability to subsidence, seismicity etc may be given).
1.4.1 Soil Type and Quality
The pre-project status with respect to soil characteristics (physical, chemical and bacteriological), land
use pattern in the study area around the proposed project site forms the baseline status of land
environment. A soil sampling program was carried out at representative four locations selected in the
basis of type of land use (nearness to agricultural fields, drainage, source of pollution etc). The details of
soil monitoring locations are given in Table 1-7.

In qualitatively terms, soil texture refers to the feel of the soil material, whether coarse and gritty, or fine
and smooth. In general, soil behaviour can be inferred from the texture.
At project site and within its 10km radius, soil is found to be Sandy loam as shown in Figure 1-5. The
Sand percentage observed in the soil ranged from 65.9% to 87.3%, silt 1.5% to 17.7 % and clay 10.9 to
16.4% and was observed highest at Project site and lowest at Bamnoli. Water holding capacity ranges
from 42.14 to 48.52% at all soil quality monitoring locations. Total nitrogen content present in the soil
available in the region ranges between 136.3-315.9 mg/kg and phosphorus content was observed to be
below detection limit at all the locations monitored. This indicates that soil in the study area having low
levels of Phosphorus and Nitrogen. Soil in the study area contains very low quantity of Micro-nutrient
such as Copper and Zinc and Manganese. Range for potassium lies between 772.8 2233.92 mg/kg and
sodium ranges between 25.97-164.85 mg/kg. Land parcels can be classified according to its possible
use for irrigation based on soils. As the soils present in study area predominantly is sandy loam, land
can be classified as class 1 i.e., the highest level of irrigation suitability and thus the highest payment
capacity.1

1.4.2 Soil Erosion, Subsidence, Instability and Vulnerability
The proposed site area is primarily a flat land and is not prone to high level natural erosions. The
proposed construction will involve limited cutting and filling operations. The construction activities will
result in loss of scanty vegetation and some trees. Digging and excavations in the project area would
make the land susceptible to erosion during rainy season. However, these impacts will be limited to
construction phase only. During project operations, green cover/ landscaping will reduce the chances of
erosion and subsidence.
Seismo-Tecto Analysis of the Area

As per the seismic zoning map of India (IS: 1893, Part-1, 2002), the project site is located in the Zone
IV, classified as MSK VIII i.e., area having high damage risk zone. The design of the project buildings
will take into account the required seismic resistance.
1.4.3 Will the proposal involve alteration of natural drainage systems?
The average plain elevation of the South west district is about 215.5 221.5 meters above mean sea
level. The project site has minimal variations in contour levels with the present topography depicting the
drainage towards the existing Najafgarh drain which is around 3 km in the West direction from the site.
Since limited cut and fill activities are anticipated, no drastic changes in contour levels are expected.
It has been planned to develop a drainage system for collection of storm water for the area. Rainwater
from paved area, lawns and roads shall be allowed to flow through sloping channels /pipes in external
areas. The surface run-off will be connected to the online storm water drainage network connected to
rainwater recharge pits for recharging the ground water. The overflow of the recharge pits shall be
connected to the main storm water trunk line of the entire development.
The map showing natural drainage around the project area is provided in figure below.

Figure 1-6: Natural drainage around the project area

1.5 What are the quantities of earthwork involved in the construction activity-cutting, filling, reclamation etc. (Give
details of the quantities of earthwork involved, transport of fill materials from outside the site etc?)
Quantity of earthwork involved due to excavation activities, mainly for the construction of Parking area is approx.
3.6 Million cu.m. Excavated soil from the site will be utilized for project requirement. The surplus earth shall be
used to fill up depression at site and low land.
It has been proposed that the construction material will be sourced only from authorized quarries in and around
the region. Two quarry sites has been identified which are Badarpur stone quarry and Jaitpur Quarry situated at
26km and 29km approx. from the site in south east direction respectively.
1.6 Give details regarding water supply, waste handling etc. during the construction period.
The water requirement for the construction phase will include water for construction activities such as curing and
formation of concrete mixtures and water for domestic consumption. The water requirement for domestic purpose
and workers at site will be 45litres per person per day (lpcd). The water required for both drinking and
construction activities during the construction phase will be sourced from DJB through water tankers. During
construction, foundation laying, brick-soaking, masonry, curing, concreting, whitewashing, laying of roofs and
3 2
flooring activities require water. It is estimated that about 2m of water will be required per sq m of built up total
area. Hence, the total volume of construction water required for the project during construction phase will be 2.1
MLD.
It is expected that during construction phase, approximately 198 KLD (for about 5500 labourers) of sewage will
be generated. The sewage generated from the portable toilets will be collected in septic tanks which will be
emptied into the main sewerage system of the area. Soak pits will provide at the construction areas to absorb
wash waters and other domestic waste water.
The expected solid waste during construction phase will include two types of wastes i.e. Construction debris and
Domestic solid waste. The waste from construction activities has been estimated to be in the range of 40-60
kg/sq.m3. Construction and demolition (C&D) waste will be stored at the construction site in either skips or
suitable containers and will be directly emptied at the notified disposal site/sites or transported to an available
suitable facility. Waste disposal will be the responsibility of the site contractor.
1.7 Will the low lying areas & wetlands get altered? (Provide details of how low lying and wetlands are getting
modified from the proposed activity).
No. The site area is a flat land. No low-lying areas or wetlands are found in the surrounding area.
1.8 Whether construction debris & waste during construction cause health hazard? (Give quantities of various types
of wastes generated during construction including the construction labour and the means of disposal).
No health hazards are expected during the construction phase. The expected solid waste during construction
phase will include two types of wastes i.e. Construction debris and Domestic solid waste. The type and quantities
of the solid waste generation during construction phase are as follows:
o Construction debris will mainly comprise of excavated soil, rocks, bricks, mortar, metals, wood and
packaging wastes. Such wastes like bricks, stones, mortar will be used to level low lying areas within the
project site which will constitute about 90% of the debris, other wastes like wood packaging material,
metal, jute will be sold to scrap dealers.
o Municipal solid waste will comprise of food waste, packaging wastes generated onsite. This waste will
be properly collected and disposed off to designated disposal site as approved by authority.
o Used Oil from Diesel Generators will be collected on site and would be properly handled and stored in
secure containers. Used oil will be disposed off to CPCB/ DPCC approved designated disposal site.

Left over concrete and mortars, cement concrete blocks, aggregate, sand and other inorganic material will be
recycled and reused as Granular Sub base (GSB) layer of pavement. Earth rendered surplus from the excavation
will be utilized in the embankment works.
2. Water Environment
2.1 Give the total quantity of water requirement for the proposed project with the breakup of requirements for various
uses. How will the water requirement be met? State the sources & quantities and furnish a water balance
statement.
Construction Phase
The water required for both drinking and construction activities during the construction phase will be sourced from
DJB through water tankers. During construction, foundation laying, brick-soaking, masonry, curing, concreting,
whitewashing, laying of roofs and flooring activities require water. It is estimated that about 2m 3 of water will be
4
required per sq m of built up total area. Hence, the total volume of construction water required for the project
during construction phase will be 2.1 MLD.
Operation Phase
Water Sourcing
It is proposed that during operation phase, water requirement for the entire development will be met from the
Main Supply of DJB. Water will be sourced out of the six underground reservoirs (UGRs) planned for Dwarka as
per the MPD-2021. These UGRs have an individual capacity to cater to a population of 0.15-0.20 million
populations, with a reserve quantum to meet the demand for commercial area development.
Phase-wise water requirement for ECC has been calculated for domestic requirements (Visitor population water
demand, employee water demand, and other water demand for each component of planned ECC).
Water requirement for various project components is presented in Table 2-1 : and Table 2-2. It has been
estimated that the total water demand of the project is approx. 10.2 MLD water (4.2 MLD for Phase I and 6.0
MLD for Phase II). This will be met by using fresh water 4.9 MLD (2.0 MLD for Phase I and 2.9 MLD for Phase II)
and recycled treated sewage water 5.3 MLD (2.2 MLD for Phase I and 3.1 MLD for Phase II). Fresh water will be
used for domestic purposes. Waste water will be treated in two planned STPs (2.75 MLD for Phase I and 3.95
MLD for Phase II) and the treated waste water will be used in landscaping, HVAC cooling tower. Water Balance
for both the phases is presented in Figure 2-1 and

Soft Water Supply
2.2 What is the capacity (dependable flow or yield) of the proposed source of water?
As per MPD 2021, 22.0 MGD (100MLD) of water is allocated for commercial usages in Dwarka. Six underground
reservoirs (UGRs) have been planned for Dwarka as per the MPD-2021, with an individual capacity to cater to a
population of 0.15-0.20 million populations, with a reserve quantum to meet the demand for this area development. It
has been planned to source water from these six UGRs.
2.3 What is the quality of water required, in case, the supply is not from a municipal source? (Provide physical, chemical,
biological characteristics with class of water quality).
Not applicable since the water requirement will be sourced from main supplies of Delhi Jal Board (DJB).
2.4 How much of the water requirement can be met from the recycling of treated wastewater? (Give the details of quantities,
sources and usage).
The expected waste water generation from the project is 2.75 MLD from Phase I and 3.95 MLD from Phase II. It is
proposed that sewage will be treated to various degrees to be used for flushing, irrigation and as make-up water in
cooling towers of air conditioning system and of DG sets and for horticulture for external areas with no or minimal
effluent to external sewage system.
The water balance diagram shows recycling of treated water has been presented in Figure above.
2.5 Will there be diversion of water from other users? (Please assess the impacts of the project on other existing uses and
quantities of consumption).
As the water for the proposed project will be sourced from municipal supply i.e. water supply diversion of water from
other sources is not anticipated.

2.6 What is the incremental pollution load from wastewater generated from the proposed activity? (Give details of the
quantities and composition of wastewater generated from the proposed activity)
It has been proposed that two STPs will be installed with capacities 2.75 MLD for Phase I and 3.95 MLD for Phase II
respectively.
The treated effluent from the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) shall be stored in treated water storage tank. The treated
water is to be used for the cooling tower make up and horticulture purpose. Excessive sludge shall be stored in the
sludge holding tank for final dewatering and disposal through screw pump and filter press / centrifuge. The parameter
which shall be adopted for the design of sewage treatment plant is presented in Table2-3.
Table2-3 : Parameters for design of sewage treatment plant

S. No. Parameters Cooling tower makeup / Flushing
1. pH 6.5 8.5
2. TSS <= 10 mg/lt
3. B O D (5 days at 20 deg. C) <= 10 mg/lt
4. COD <= 60 mg/lt
5. TDS <= 1000
6. Turbidity < 1.0 NTU
7. E. Coli Removal to the level of log 6
2.7 Give details of the water requirements met from water harvesting? Furnish details of the facilities created.
To minimise localised flooding during monsoon season, perforated pipe drainage system has been planned for open-to-
sky courtyard/ lawn. Rainwater from paved area, lawns and roads shall be allowed to flow through sloping channels
/pipes connected to the online storm water drainage network. The rainwater shall be conveyed into the rainwater
harvesting tanks/pits. The overflow of the rainwater harvesting tanks/pits shall be connected to the main storm water
trunk line of the entire development.
The total water harvesting potential for the proposed project has been calculated using the formula as below:
Q=10 C*I*A, where
Q=Annual Rainwater Harvesting Potential, cubic meter

C=Runoff Coefficient (For conventional roofs, runoff coefficient will be considered as 0.75)
I=Peak Rainfall Intensity, m/h (Maximum hourly intensity occurring maximum number of time in 5-10 years for Delhi is
considered to be 25mm/hour)
A=Area of catchment, square meter (considering 70% of the total 38.5 hectare rooftop area)
Table 2-4 : Rain water Harvesting Potential for the proposed Exhibition and Convention Centre
Land use Area. (Ha.) Total runoff generated/
(cum/hr), Q
Roof Top Area 27.00 (approx.) 5063.76
2.8 What would be the impact of the land use changes occurring due to the proposed project on the runoff characteristics
(quantitative as well as qualitative) of the area in the post construction phase on a long term basis? Would it aggravate
the problems of flooding or water logging in any way?
The proposed project will include paved areas and thus, the runoff from the plot is expected to increase due to reduced
infiltration though the quality of the run off is expected to improve due to low sediment level and thus require minimal

treatment. However, the increased runoff will not cause flooding or water logging because a well-designed storm water
network will be provided. The excess runoff will be led to the storm water collection pits.
2.9 What are the impacts of the proposal on the ground water? (Will there be tapping of ground water; give the details of
ground water table, recharging capacity, and approvals obtained from competent authority, if any).
No groundwater use is proposed for the project.
2.10 What precautions/ measures are taken to prevent the run-off from construction activities polluting land & aquifers? (Give
details of quantities and the measures taken to avoid the adverse impacts).
Adequate control measures have been proposed to check the surface run-off, as well as uncontrolled flow of water into
any water body. The following management measures are suggested to protect the water quality during the construction
phase.
Avoid excavation during monsoon season;

Site shall be properly fenced and will be provided with adequate slopes prior to start of excavation work;
Restoring land surface contours in relation to the surroundings followed by developing drains and providing
adequate slopes across the site prior to start of excavation work, thus, ensuring adequate cross drainage for
quick evacuation of catchment water;
Construction of diversion dykes around the excavated site to avoid surface runoff of excavated material;
Topsoil shall be removed and reused for landscape development ;
Excavated soil shall be stacked only in an earmarked area and care shall be taken to prevent soil erosion;
Proper storage of machine oil, used oil and grease to avoid any soil contamination;
2.11 How is the storm water from within the site managed? (State the provisions made to avoid flooding of the area, details of
the drainage facilities provided along with a site layout indication contour levels).
The storm water manholes will be planned all along the peripheral roads of each facility. The manholes will be connected
through a network of drains (of 450mm to 600mm diameter) for collection and transfer to rainwater harvesting system.
Storm water network will be provided all along the roads. Separate storm water drainage system will be provided for
collecting rainwater from roof and stored in underground tanks. Overflow from these storage tanks and all the surface
runoff shall be connected to the storm water network which will be directed to the recharge pits.
2.12 Will the deployment of construction labourers particularly in the peak period lead to unsanitary conditions around the
project site. (Justify with proper explanation).
No. Mostly local laborers will be employed during the construction phase and thus very little quantities of wastes will be
generated. Community toilets will be provided along with a septic tank to avoid unsanitary conditions.
2.13 What on-site facilities are provided for the collection, treatment & safe disposal of sewage? (Give details of the quantities
of wastewater generation, treatment capacities with technology & facilities for recycling and disposal).
It has been proposed that two STPs will be installed with capacities 2.75 MLD for Phase I and 3.95 MLD for Phase II
respectively. The treated effluent from the Sewage Treatment Plant shall be stored in Treated water storage tank. The
treated water is to be used for the cooling tower make up and horticulture purpose. Excessive sludge shall be stored in
the sludge holding tank for final dewatering and disposal through screw pump and filter press / centrifuge.
2.14 Give details of dual plumbing system if treated waste is used for flushing of toilets or any other use.
The treated effluent will be reused for flushing of toilets and for gardening. Unutilized treated effluent, if any, shall be
discharged into the municipal sewerage network which is available around the proposed site with all necessary
permissions and approvals. Reuse of treated effluent within the complex will reduce the overall requirement of fresh
water.

3. Vegetation
3.1 Is there any threat of the project to the biodiversity? (Give a description of the local ecosystem with its unique features, if
any).
The study area (the area within 10 km of the boundary of the proposed project-site) represents tracts of highly degraded
tropical thorn forests, with much of the land converted into farmland, pasture, orchards or plantations, and most of the
rest occupied by habitations.
At present, the site area seems to support relatively low biodiversity, with its existing vegetation being of relatively low
ecological value. However, no significant vegetation and biodiversity was found in the immediate site area and hence
there will be no major threat to the biodiversity due to the development of the project.
3.2 Will the construction involve extensive clearing or modification of vegetation? (Provide a detailed account of the trees &
vegetation affected by the project).
The project construction activities will necessarily comprise of removal of vegetation. This loss of herbaceous ground
cover will be compensated by development of green spaces.
3.3 What are the measures proposed to be taken to minimize the likely impacts on important site features (Give details of
proposal for tree plantation, landscaping, creation of water bodies etc along with a layout plan to an appropriate scale)

4. Fauna
4.1 Is there likely to be any displacement of fauna - both terrestrial and aquatic or creation of barriers for their movement?
Provide the details.
No displacement of fauna is anticipated. During the construction period, these species might get temporarily disturbed or
even migrated to nearby areas for a very brief period. The proposed peripheral greenbelt will provide an excellent habitat
for these species once it is fully developed.
4.2 Any direct or indirect impacts on the avifauna of the area? Provide details.
The region falls in the path of the various winters, summer and passage migrant birds entering the Indian subcontinent
through Pakistan via the Indus Valley and headed farther south. As the construction activities will be carried for only a
short duration, no significant impact on avifauna is anticipated.
4.3 Prescribe measures such as corridors, fish ladders etc. to mitigate adverse impacts on fauna.
Not applicable. The proposed project would not have any adverse impact on fauna. The peripheral green belt planned
will provide a suitable habitat for small group of faunal species.

5. Air Environment
5.1 Will the project increase atmospheric concentration of gases & result in heat islands? (Give details of background air
quality levels with predicted values based on dispersion models taking into account the increased traffic generation as a
result of the proposed constructions).
CO, NOx and SPM are the primary pollutants anticipated as tailpipe emissions from light vehicles travelling along on-site
paved roads.
Baseline Ambient Air Quality

A sitespecific background air quality monitoring program was conducted for the existing project site post-monsoon
season, Oct- Nov 2016. Background data was collected for SPM, RSPM, SO2, NOx, CO at five (5) locations, primarily
selected on the basis of predominant wind direction, which is North- West direction. The details of the AQ Monitoring
locations are presented in Table 5-1.
The basic considerations while designing this air quality examination programme included:
Topography;
Representative location w.r.t upwind and downwind directions;
Representative location w.r.t regional background eg. semi-urban, rural area;
Ecologically sensitive locations within 10 km;
Availability of source of Power; and
Accessibility.
AAQ monitoring equipment were placed at sensitive receptors (i.e. within nearby villages), where safety and power were
provided. Monitors were placed on one-storey dwellings, away from major roads and nearby flow obstructions (i.e.
trees).

The analysis of the above results clearly shows that all the monitored values exceed the limits prescribed by Central
Pollution Control Board for PM 10 and PM2.5 respectively. The summary of results is presented in the following sub
sections.
Inferences
Particulate Matter PM10
The PM-10 concentration recorded at all the five sampling locations exceeds the limits of prescribed CPCB limits of
100g/m3. The minimum value recorded was 109.5 g/m3 at Project site (AQ-1). The maximum value recorded was
3 3 3
419.7 g/m at Kapashera (AQ-5). The 98 percentile values ranged from 272.6 g/m to 418.2 g/m . The average
3 3
values varied from 186.4 g/m to 290.7 g/m . The graphical representation is provided in Figure 5-2

High values of PM 10 recorded can be attributed to then prevailing smog in Delhi due to burning of residual crops in parts
of Haryana and Punjab which might have accumulated due to low winds and low temperatures. Additional Particulate
Matter is supplemented by smoke generated from firecrackers during occasion of Diwali festival, 2016.

Figure 5-3: Particulate Matter - PM2.5

Dust fall
Dust fall is the rate at which dust is deposited from the air on a horizontal surface. It is calculated by dividing the weight
of material (soluble / insoluble) collected in the container (in milligrams) by the cross-sectional area of the container
(square metres) and the number of days over which the sample was taken. Dust fall collected at the monitored locations
falls in range of 1130 to 1453 mg/m/day. Minimum dust fall was recorded at Kanganheri (AQ-3) while maximum dust fall
is recorded at project site (AQ-1).

5.2 What are the impacts on generation of dust, smoke, odorous fumes or other hazardous gases? Give details in relation to
all the meteorological parameters.
With implementation of the proposed air quality management plans, there will be limited generation of dust, smoke,
odorous fumes, which too will be limited to the construction phase of the project. The meteorological conditions
prevalent in the area and the micrometeorology of the study area have been presented below. The impacts on air quality
have also been addressed later in the section.

A. Long term Meteorological data
The long-term climate trend data was obtained for the years (2007-2011), from the closest Indian Meteorological
Department (IMD) surface station at IGI Airport, Palam, and Delhi. Mean monthly normal of atmospheric parameters,
wind roses for each month giving the wind direction speed were collected and have been presented in Table 5-5. Most
probable wind speed class and wind direction in the area has been assessed and presented. Hourly-based recorded
meteorological data has been further employed for dispersion modelling for air quality impact assessment.

Source: IMD, Years 2007-2011
The rainfall is fairly well distributed throughout the monsoon season starting from July which ends in September; with
annual average rainfall over period of five years is 532mm.

C. Surface Temperature
During the summer months of April, May and June, temperatures rises to 40-45C; winters are typically cold with
temperatures during December and January falling to 4 to 5C. February, March, October and November are climatically
the best months. The average of mean monthly maximum temperature as assessed from the Climatological data
gathered from IMD surface station at IGI Airport, Palam, Delhi is 30.4C and average of mean monthly minimum
temperature is 14.1C. The average of monthly relative humidity is 61.5%.
D. Wind Direction and Speed
Ground level pollutant concentration is inversely proportional to the wind speed. It can be referred from Table 5-7 below
that the wind speed is maximum in the month of May and blows at a speed of 13.09 kmph whereas month of November
experiences lowest wind speed being 5.36 kmph. The predominant wind direction is North West.

Summer (May-July)* Autumn (Aug.-Oct.)
WINTER (Nov.-Jan.) SPRING (Feb.-Apr.)
E. Mixing Height
Mixing Height (MH) is the vertical extent through which the contaminant plume can be mixed. During the winter, average
mixing height is lower as compared to other seasons and atmospheric dispersion is typically at a minimum and therefore
the pollutants will not be as widely dispersed. During the summer months, the average mixing height is typically at its
greatest resulting in increased mixing through a greater volume of the troposphere, and hence lower pollutant
concentrations.
As studied from secondary data, the monthly average mixing height over Delhi varies from 100-1200 meters.

F. Short term Meteorological data (Met. Station at Site)
An automatic micro-meteorological station was installed at the project site (Bamnoli village) to record hourly
meteorological parameters for a period of 8 weeks. On-site meteorological data was collected in respect of wind speed,
direction, temperature, humidity and rainfall and is presented below in Table 5-8 :

International Exhibition & Convention Centre, Dwarka, New Delhi
INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION & CONVENTION CENTRE, DWARKA, NEW DELHI

Introduction
The New Delhi Exhibition and Convention Center (ECC), a flagship project of Government of India, is
envisioned as a World Class, transit oriented, mixed use district, providing one of the largest
facility of its kind in India and Asia.
New Delhi being the nations capital and the commercial nerve centre of northern India; it is one of
the most productive business locations in India. Despite its sustained levels of growth and immense
economic potential, there are very limited opportunities available in the NCR in terms of organized
exhibition or large scale conference space.
The Exhibition Industry has not grown in tandem with the economic expansion and urban
development of the city. For almost three decades, Pragati Maidan has been the only large,
organized meeting space in the city for holding exhibitions, conventions, trade fairs, etc. Hence, a
need was felt to establish a larger and more modern ECC facility in the NCR to provide exhibition
space attracting new investments and boost existing economic activity in the region.
In the absence of world class exhibition and conference facilities, India has not been benefitted from
the potential benefits of MICE Market and its share in the Global as well as Asian market is very
small. In order to capitalize on this vast market potential and to drive Indias industry and associate
with programmes such as Make in India, promote tourism & trade and commerce activities, the
Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion (DIPP) has taken the initiative to develop a State of the
Art Exhibition and Convention Centre at New Delhi. DMICDC is acting as the knowledge partner for
development of this world class Exhibition and Convention Centre (ECC).
The goals of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) are to strengthen the Indian economy by
creating state-of-the-art, world class infrastructure and facilities to stimulate a globally-competitive
environment that activates local commerce, enhances foreign investments and promotes
sustainable development.
The project is planned at Sector 25, Dwarka, New Delhi, approximately 3kms from IGI Airport and
well connected to Metro and road links. The project site is spread across 89.72Ha in a well-
developed area in western end of Delhi adjoining the city of Gurgaon.
Project Vision
The project vision is therefore to create a state-of-the-art, world class Exhibition and Convention
Centre for India. ECC is envisaged as an internationally-recognized, architectural icon with innovative
design and novel green building features.
With the help of state-of-the-art technology and cutting-edge design, the ECC is intended to be
launched as an international brand to promote and stimulate future growth and development. The
ECC will be an integrated complex with a host of mutually beneficial facilities; exhibition halls,
convention center and meeting facilities, banquet halls, auditoria, hotels, F&B outlets and retail
services. These components will have the ability to be utilized independently or in conjunction with
each other, depending on the nature of the event.
The size and diversity of the project, suggests that each area will have unique features that define
both, the challenges and the opportunities to stimulate investment and generate a desirable level of
success. To that end, the concept for the facility has been worked with an in-depth and integrated
physical development approach.
1|P a g e
The facilities will be at par with the best in the industry worldwide, in size and quality; offering an
efficient and quality setting for international as well as national meetings, conferences, exhibitions
and trade shows. The project is envisioned to be on a scale of a Central Business District (CBD) with
supporting retail space, commercial office space, hospitality, and entertainment and lifestyle
opportunities for end-users.
State of the Art sustainable approaches to planning and implementation have been included in the
ECC Dwarka project. The approach incorporates sustainable planning and design solutions and
techniques in transportation, alternative energy production and energy conservation, water
resource management, land use planning and building design to create cost-effective and
measurable solutions for the district.
ECC is planned and proposed to be constructed in lines with green building principles and IGBC
(Indian Green Building Council) platinum rating standards. The project will offer eco-friendly design,
energy efficient systems, state of the art technology& compliance to all statuary regulations.
Site Positioning & Connectivity

The site is strategically located in close
proximity to the Indira Gandhi International
Airport, with fast and efficient transit
connections to the City, the downtown areas of
Delhi, and the suburban/satellite hubs of
Gurgaon and Noida from the neighboring
states of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh,
respectively.
The site also has DelhiAhmedabad main
railway approx 300 mts from the eastern side.
The nearest station from site is Bijwasan
Railway Station at an approximate distance of 3
km. This railway line connects the south-west
Fig1: Location map of proposed ECC, Sec. 25, Dwarka, New Delhi
parts of the NCR with Rajasthan, Gujarat,
Madhya Pradesh and Punjab.
As such a world class convention facility is intended to serve a greater regional area as well as attract
wider business opportunities from multi MICE actives.
2|P a g e
Site Location and Boundaries

Located in Sector 25 of Dwarka
Sub City, the ECC site is located in
between a 100 m wide UER-II
(Urban Extension Road) and UER-
I, connecting NH 1, 10 and
8.towards east of the site is 80
mtr wide Dwarka Expressway
road dividing Sectors 25 and 26.
The adjoining road network will
provide access to the following
major projects in and around NCT
Delhi, and are likely to carry a
large volume of passenger and
goods traffic: .
Fig 2: Location map of proposed ECC, Sec. 25, Dwarka, New Delhi
o Dwarka Sub-City
o Integrated Passenger Terminal in Sector-21, Dwarka
o Indira Gandhi International Airport
o Inter State Bus Terminal
o Integrated Freight Complex
o Second Diplomatic Enclave and Golf Course at Sector-24, Dwarka.
The proposed site has well planned transport connectivity, including MRT connectivity. The site is in
close proximity to the Delhi Metro Station in Sector 21. The blue line and airport express line
presently terminates at this station. The airport express line is being extended for exclusive
connectivity to the ECC complex. The expansion of airport express line will start along with
development of ECC.
There are proposals to extend metro network from Sector 21 station southwards to Gurgaon,
further enhancing the connectivity of the site. The Inter State Bus Terminal (ISBT), located in Sector
22, is diagonally opposite the proposed ECC site. The site is thus in very close proximity to a host of
existing and proposed road, rail and transit links.

determine the positioning of the ECC and
play an important role in attracting national
and international events to locate here.
The ECC development will therefore consist

of a best-in-class ECC facility, multi-use Arena
and supporting Hospitality and commercial
district facilities as part of the overall mixed-
use development. The ECC District proposed
Fig 5: ECC illustrative plan
over approximately 90 Ha. with a FAR of 120
will include Exhibition space, convention area, Hotels, commercial office and retail space and a
multi-purpose Arena.
The ECC district include 200,000 sq. m. of Exhibition Halls, fronted with arched Foyer space
measuring 50,000 sq. m, a convention Centre of 60,000 sq. m, a Sports Arena of 50,000 sq. m, Hotel
spaces 275,000 sq. m, class- A offices 215,000 sq. m. and 170,000 sq. m. of Commercial Space for
Retail & Entertainment. The built up area for the ECC would be 1,020,000 sq. m.
The size and diversity of the project suggests that each area will have unique feature that defines
both, the challenges and the opportunity to stimulate investment and generate a desirable level of
success.
The Exhibition Centre complex is anchored by the Convention Centre at its northern end and an
iconic Financial Centre building in the south. The iconic building will house retail at the lower levels
and offices on the top floors. The building can accommodate financial Centre within the entire
commercial district. Between the two anchors, the Exhibition Centre is organized in a sequence of 5
exhibition halls, fronted by a large arched lobby. The lobby stretches in a shallow arch, gently
enclosing and defining the open air exhibition spaces while responding to arrangement of the mixed
use blocks at their eastern edge.

Proposed Ground Coverage

The original plan to develop the complex was with Ground coverage of 40% over 114 Ha. of land.
This corresponds to 45.60 Ha of land available for footprints of building superstructure (Ground
Coverage).
The revised site boundary of 89.72 Ha with permissible ground coverage of 40% allows only 36 Ha of
land for building footprints against the earlier of 45.60 Ha.
The site falls in the air funnel of runway 1129 of IGI Airport and restricts vertical development over
the site to 32-40 meters.
Exhibition area is primarily single story construction and key component of entire development
program. Exhibition centre alone requires approx. 23 Ha of ground coverage against available of 36
Ha which is 64% of the available ground coverage.
Built up area for Exhibition Centre is approx. 23% of the total built up area.
To accommodate 77% of the built up area in 36% of total space available is not feasible. Therefore
this requires relaxation in ground coverage to prevent further reduction in built up area which will
have adverse impact on the feasibility of the project.
Therefore relaxation to the ground coverage norm of 40% of present to 45% as is required to utilize
the site to its potential and accommodate the proposed entire development program is desired.
Proposed Development Mix

The land finally transferred to DIPP for development of ECC is 89.72 Ha. As per the Delhi master Plan
2021 (Min. of Urban Development, Gazette Notification 1313 dated 26thMay 2016), the permissible
distribution of total built up area for ECC and Meeting areas has to be minimum 40% of total built up
area. Maximum 60% of the total built up area can be used for commercial activities
Total built up potential on the 89.72 Ha. of land with permissible FAR of 120 is 10,76,640Sq.m. Due
to prevalent height restrictions, only 1,020,000 Sq.m. of built up area (FAR) for complete complex is
used.
As per Gazette Notification, 40% of the total built up area has to be reserved for ECC which
correspond to 408,000 Sq.m. This is way above the feasible area for ECC established as per market
demand. Such big area will not attract international level operators which will eventually impact
functionality of the whole complex.
The planned built up area for ECC component is 360,000 sq. m. which is 35% of the total planned
built area of 1,020,000 sq. m. Therefore and hence, minimum built-up area of 40% of ECC
component requires to be relaxed to 35% and increase to built-up area to commercial use requires
to be increased to 65%.
