India’s Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions (MICE) industry has gained a significant new venue with the unveiling of URJATVA and the official launch of the ONGC Urja Bharat Convention Centre (ONGC UBCC) at the ONGC Advanced Training Institute (ATI) in South Goa. The new integrated convention destination is expected to strengthen India’s position as a leading hub for conferences, exhibitions, corporate meetings, and international business events.
ONGC UBCC Brings World-Class Convention Infrastructure to South Goa
Spread across a vast 250-acre integrated campus, the ONGC Urja Bharat Convention Centre combines modern convention halls, exhibition spaces, premium accommodation, advanced training facilities, and hospitality services in a single destination. The project has been designed to meet the growing demand for large-scale MICE events while promoting South Goa as an emerging business tourism destination.
The launch of ONGC UBCC reflects India’s continued investment in expanding convention infrastructure beyond traditional metro cities, offering organizers an attractive venue equipped with world-class amenities.
Industry Leaders Experience the Venue Firsthand
The inauguration event welcomed prominent professionals from India’s MICE, exhibitions, and convention sectors. Instead of relying solely on presentations, ONGC offered guests an immersive tour of the campus, allowing industry stakeholders to experience the venue’s extensive facilities, event capabilities, and integrated ecosystem.
This hands-on showcase highlighted the flexibility of the convention centre for hosting exhibitions, conferences, corporate meetings, training programmes, and international events.
Architecture Inspired by Energy and Innovation
One of the standout features of the ONGC UBCC campus is its distinctive architectural design. Bold red tones symbolize strength, leadership, and ambition, while vibrant yellow accents represent energy, optimism, and innovation. The thoughtfully planned campus creates a modern environment that balances aesthetics with functionality, providing an inspiring setting for business gatherings.
Proven Capability with India Energy Week
Even before its official launch, the venue demonstrated its ability to manage large-scale international events by successfully hosting India Energy Week, one of the country’s premier global energy conferences and exhibitions.
The successful execution of this prestigious event showcased the convention centre’s readiness to host high-profile conferences, trade exhibitions, government summits, and global business meetings.
Vision for India’s Growing MICE Industry
During the unveiling ceremony, Mr. Saket Gupta, Executive Director of ONGC ATI, shared the vision behind URJATVA and the ONGC Urja Bharat Convention Centre. He emphasized ONGC’s commitment to supporting India’s rapidly expanding MICE industry through sustainable infrastructure, innovation, and world-class event facilities.
The initiative aligns with India’s broader objective of developing internationally competitive convention venues that attract both domestic and global business events.
South Goa Emerges as a Business Events Destination
With India’s convention industry expanding rapidly, destinations outside major metropolitan cities are becoming increasingly important. South Goa offers a unique combination of scenic surroundings, modern infrastructure, hospitality, and connectivity, making it an attractive choice for conferences, exhibitions, incentive travel programmes, and corporate retreats.
The addition of ONGC UBCC is expected to boost regional tourism, generate economic opportunities, and further diversify Goa’s tourism sector beyond leisure travel.
Strengthening India’s Global Convention Ecosystem
The unveiling of URJATVA marks another milestone in India’s journey toward becoming a preferred global destination for business events. By integrating convention facilities, accommodation, training infrastructure, and hospitality within one expansive campus, the ONGC Urja Bharat Convention Centre offers a comprehensive solution for organizers seeking a world-class event venue.
As India’s MICE industry continues to grow, the launch of ONGC UBCC in South Goa is set to play a key role in attracting international conferences, exhibitions, and corporate events while supporting long-term economic development and innovation across the region.
