“At JECC and Novotel Jaipur Convention Centre, infrastructure is not just about scale—it is about seamless experience. One of the most strategic developments underway is the expansion of Novotel Jaipur Convention Centre with 100 additional rooms. For large residential conferences, where on-site accommodation is critical, this significantly enhances the complex’s capability. Combined with over 1,500 branded rooms within a short radius, accommodation at scale becomes effortless.”
