For the convention centre, RHB has earmarked an area of about 16 hectares with Floor Area Ratio (FAR) 2.25 and permissible ground coverage of 35 per cent. The project envisages development of multi-purpose divisible conference hall (minimum capacity of 5,000 seats); multi-purpose divisible auditorium/rooms (minimum capacity of 500 seats); indoor exhibition hall - 2,000 square metre at single level, development of 150-200 room hotel (upscale property) and business hotel/service apartments (mid-market/budget segment) with 200 rooms.

The last date for submission of EoIs to RHB is November 3, 2010.
