Delhi to be developed as a global event hub: Tourism Minister Kapil Mishra
The Delhi Government will soon launch a digital single-window clearance system for granting permission for events, aimed at simplifying and speeding up the approval process for organisers, Tourism Minister Kapil Mishra announced Monday. The initiative is part of a broader push to position the Capital as a global event hub under a public-private partnership (PPP) model. At a high-level roundtable meeting with officials from the Department of Tourism, Art, Culture and Language and leading event management firms, Mishra said, 'Delhi will be developed as a global event hub for live events, entertainment, and destination weddings.' He added that the government is working to introduce policy reforms for venue allocation, and boost infrastructure to support the city's events sector. Among the proposals discussed was a roadmap to support the Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions (MICE) sector through marketing and financial support. Organisers also suggested that permission processes for events at heritage sites in Delhi be eased and GST relaxations offered to encourage destination weddings. 'Delhi has 70 to 80 heritage monuments that can be effectively used for hosting cultural and private events,' said Mishra. The roundtable, attended by senior officials and members of the Event and Entertainment Management Association (EEMA), also flagged challenges such as high venue rental rates and limited access to public spaces. In response, Mishra said the government would ensure a 'transparent and fair' venue allocation system, and that he would bring the concerns to the attention of Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta. Officials from the Department of Art, Culture, and Language proposed listing government-sponsored events on commercial platforms, such as BookMyShow, to increase public engagement. Stakeholders also called for the creation of an international-standard convention centre in Delhi and suggested repurposing vacant government land for event use.
