Ludhiana has a GDP contribution of nearly 16% to the state’s GDP. It is an industrial focal point
for the state with presence of large number of large-scale, medium-scale and small-scale
industries. The city is called Punjab’s Manchester because of a well-established industrial base
with manufacturing hubs for machine parts, industrial goods, woolens, hosiery, household
appliances, bicycle and auto. Key players which are established in Ludhiana include Hero
Cycles, Aplab Limited (IT and Electronics), Nahar Group (Textiles), Vardhman Group
(Textiles), Prince Textile Mills, Avon Cycles, Accurate India (Light Engineering Goods /
Cycles) and PABLA Bearings (Auto and Auto Components).
Ludhiana is connected to via Sahnewal Airport which provides direct connectivity to Delhi. The
city also has access through NH 44, NH5 and SH 11. The Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor is
proposed to link Ludhiana with UP, Bihar and West Bengal. This would boost the connectivity
and help the economy of the city to grow further by faster transportation of goods.
The MICE (Meeting, Incentives, Conventions, Exhibition) industry in the city is majorly driven
by industrial exhibitions and trade fairs. However, the city lacks dedicated space for organizing
such exhibitions. The events are held by creating temporary structures across available open
spaces. The proposed exhibition centre would provide a focal point for exhibiting industrial
goods that are manufactured in and around Ludhiana and holding both small-scale and largescale
exhibitions. Further, the exhibition centre would also cater to associated conventions and
conference events happening in the city.
2. USP of the project:
It will be the first of its kind complex offering World class Exhibition Halls with innovation in
technology offering spaces to the nearby industries to hold their upcoming events and
conventions in Ludhiana. Also, the local residential area would be taken in consideration and
Recreational and Entertainment Spaces will be created along a Banquet hall, Offices and
Serviced Apartments.
