On the detailed timeline, an official statement said vendors for the IECC project and traffic interventions would be in place by the end of June 2017 and construction work would start by July 2017. The Convention Centre would be completed by November-December 2018 and the entire project by July-August 2019, it added. Once redeveloped, the IECC would be a landmark in Delhi and a symbol of “new India”, the statement said. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) had approved the IECC on January 24 at an estimated cost of ₹2,254 crore (excluding the cost on account of traffic interventions).
