Numaish in Hyderabad to be inaugurated today
The All India Industrial Exhibition (AIIE) society is all set to inaugurate Numaish in Hyderabad today after hiking the ticket price.
Usually, it opens on January 1. However, this year, it is going to be inaugurated on January 3 after the union government declared a seven-day national mourning following the passing of former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh.
Last year, the exhibition was open from 4:00 pm to 10:30 pm on weekdays and from 4:00 pm to 11:00 pm on weekends and holidays. However, the managing committee retains the authority to adjust these hours if necessary.
Stalls at exhibition in Hyderabad
This year, the exhibition received around 2,500 applications for stalls, and approximately 2,200 stalls of crockery, readymade garments, shawls, handicrafts, beddings, upholstery, etc., have been allocated for the Numaish in Hyderabad.
In addition to shopping, the exhibition blends commerce, business, recreation, and relaxation and is expected to attract lakhs of visitors.
At the grounds, there will be several food stalls where one can relish sweets, lip-smacking haleem, and chaat. Apart from that, there will be joyrides at the venue for children to enjoy.
The numaish will feature a ‘Ladies Day’ and a ‘Children’s Special Day,’ offering unique experiences for women and children.
