In Bhopal, the Ravindra Convention Centre, a four-year-old facility in the city, has incurred a repair bill of at least Rs 12 crore. The landmark, costing Rs 48 crore to build and inaugurated on Republic Day in 2022, has required significant maintenance since its opening. Situated on a sprawling 11,821 sq meters, the Centre boasts modern amenities for various events, from conferences and seminars to cultural performances.
However, despite its substantial investment, the structure has faced issues such as leaking roofs and deteriorating false ceilings. The project, executed by the PWD's Project Implementation Unit, was meant to be completed by late 2018 at a projected cost of Rs 33 crore but ran over budget and timeline, ultimately costing Rs 48 crore.
Maintenance expenses have been substantial, with Rs 6 crore spent last year and another Rs 6 crore allocated this year.
