The news: ONGC, India's largest oil and gas producer, has launched the Urja Bharat Convention Centre in Goa, marking the company's formal entry into the MICE sector. The facility is designed to host large-scale conferences, exhibitions, and corporate events, adding significant capacity to Goa's event infrastructure.
Why it matters for MICE operators: This represents a substantial shift in India's MICE landscape. When PSUs and major corporates invest in dedicated venue infrastructure, it signals confidence in the sector's growth and creates partnership opportunities for DMCs and PCOs. Goa-based operators now have access to enterprise-grade facilities backed by a Fortune 500 company, which can attract marquee clients and international conferences previously held in metros.
The takeaway: Reach out to ONGC's events team now to understand booking policies, rates, and partnership opportunities before the venue becomes a preferred destination for large corporate events.
