HITEX is located strategically at the most happening part in the city of Hyderabad, at Madhapur (near HITEC City), the emerging business and technology hub.

HITEX is India's most modern exhibition centre, set to open up exciting opportunities in the global arena. This magnificent facility spread over nearly 100 acres will be the star attraction of Hyderabad, a city that is already a sought after destination.

The Centre is designed to enhance functionality and flexibility in providing state-of-the-art infrastructure for organizers of international exhibitions, conventions, trade shows and corporate events.

Conceptualized by leading German architects, HITEX is conceived to provide world-class infrastructure to international exhibitors and serve as a one-stop resource, providing the right setting for exhibitions, trade shows and corporate events.

The HITEX entrance plaza has registration booths, ticket counters and information kiosks for hassle-free entry of a large turnout of visitors and for able administration.

HITEX houses a large array of infrastructure and services that comprise:

*3 air-cooled exhibition halls each of 3500 sq. m (37,660 sq. ft) area. HITEX envisages adding 5 more halls of 3500 sq.m in future.

The Indoor Display (Exhibition Halls)
Each of the large air-cooled halls of 3500 sq. m (37,660 sq. ft) is a column-free structure located at the ground level. These halls also allow for further division and partition to accommodate smaller shows. While the more than 10.5 m high ceiling will permit high fascia and facilitate easier stall erection, the heavy-duty flooring has good loading capacity of 50KN/Sq.m. that will withstand display and demonstration of heavy machinery.

The halls will be self-sufficient with amenities such as power, water, telecommunications, compressed air and rest rooms including separate ones for the physically challenged. The wide service area along these halls will aid quick and easy movement of exhibits and equipment in and out of the halls.

HITEX also provides adequate space for storage, within the exhibition halls.

HITEX aims to be a one-stop service provider to organizers, exhibitors and visitors alike. The trade fair office building extends various key facilities for the conduct of large shows that match global standards.
