Where to stay for EXCON 2027: the closest hotels to Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC) are in Yeshwanthpur / Malleswaram and Hebbal, with MG Road / CBD a short ride away. The fair runs 9 Dec to 13 Dec 2027 and rooms near the venue sell out first, so book a free-cancellation rate early. Pay Weekly lets you split your hotel over up to 16 weeks.
EXCON is South Asia's largest construction-equipment trade fair, held every two years in December at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC) on the northwestern edge of Bengaluru, India. It gathers earth-moving and construction-machinery manufacturers, component suppliers, contractors and buyers from across India and abroad, combining large indoor halls with extensive outdoor equipment displays. For a hotel-booking traveller, BIEC's location shapes the trip: it sits in the Tumkur Road area toward the northwest, some distance from central Bengaluru but relatively close to Kempegowda International Airport in the north. That makes airport-corridor and northwestern hotels convenient for the venue, while central and tech-district hotels (MG Road, Whitefield, Electronic City) trade a longer, traffic-heavy commute for more dining and business amenities. Bengaluru's road traffic is notoriously heavy, so proximity to the venue matters. Because EXCON draws large industry crowds, well-placed rooms fill and rates rise, so early booking and arranged transport help keep daily travel manageable.

Pay Weekly: common questions
Do I pay any interest?
No. There is no interest and no extra charge. Your plan total is exactly the hotel price shown when you book. The only fee we ever charge is a processing fee on cash refunds (see 'What fees apply?').
How many payments can I make?
Depending on how far away your trip is, you can split your booking into between 2 and 16 weekly payments. The exact schedule is shown before you book.
What happens after I pay my deposit?
Your hotel is booked and confirmed immediately. You receive your booking confirmation and your full payment schedule by email, and the remaining payments are charged automatically each week.
How are the weekly payments taken?
Automatically. After your first payment, each weekly payment is charged to your saved card, and we send you a reminder 2 days before every charge. In a few countries where automatic card charges are not allowed, we email you a secure payment link each week instead. You can switch to a different card at any time.
Can I pay early?
Yes. Sign in to your Event Escapes account at any time and pay off your remaining balance in one payment, whenever it suits you. There is never a fee for paying early.
What happens if I miss a payment?
We retry your card automatically and email you a secure payment link so you can pay another way, plus a final notice with one link to clear the remaining balance. If the plan still cannot be completed, we cancel the room before its free-cancellation deadline and everything you have paid goes into your Event Escapes Wallet in full. You never lose the money you have paid. You can turn that credit into a cash refund at any time (the processing fee applies).
Where to eat during EXCON
BIEC sits out on Tumkur Road in the industrial northwest, so near the halls you're realistically choosing quick vegetarian tiffin; save serious client dinners for Indiranagar or UB City in the centre, a 45-75 minute cab depending on Bengaluru's notorious traffic. Leave early and pre-book.

Getting there
From Kempegowda International Airport (BLR)
- The airport is in the north of the city, relatively close to BIEC on Tumkur Road; allow around 45-60 minutes by taxi depending on traffic.
- Use app-based cabs (Uber, Ola) or prepaid airport taxis to the venue or your hotel.
- Confirm the route, as the airport and BIEC both sit on the city's northern side.
By road across the city
- Central Bengaluru and tech districts are a longer, traffic-heavy drive from BIEC.
- Allow generous time for the commute, especially at peak hours.
- A pre-arranged car or app cab is the most reliable way to reach the venue.
Getting around during EXCON
App cabs and taxis
- Uber and Ola are the dominant apps and generally clearer than negotiating with auto-rickshaws.
- For autos, insist on the meter or agree the fare before starting.
- Allow extra time for Bengaluru's severe congestion around peak hours.
Metro and buses
- Bengaluru's Namma Metro is expanding but may require a taxi for the final leg to BIEC.
- Check the nearest metro station and combine with a short cab to the venue.
- Road traffic makes app cabs the simplest door-to-door option for most visitors.
Visa & entry
e-Visa
- India offers an e-Visa (including e-Business and e-Tourist categories) to nationals of a large number of countries, applied for online before travel.
- Apply through the official Indian e-Visa portal a few days in advance and carry a printed copy of the approval.
- The e-Visa is valid for entry at designated airports; choose the category matching your trade-show activity.
Advance / regular visa
- Travellers whose nationality is not eligible for the e-Visa must obtain a regular visa in advance from an Indian mission or authorised visa centre.
- Apply early around major events, and allow extra lead time.
- Business visitors may need an invitation letter or event documentation.
Entry rules change; confirm current requirements with the India embassy or official immigration site before booking travel.
First time at EXCON?
- Apply for your e-Visa early and carry a printed copy of the approval on arrival.
- Factor Bengaluru traffic into every plan and leave early for the venue.
- Install Uber or Ola before arrival and set up in-app payment for easy rides.
- BIEC has large outdoor equipment displays, so wear comfortable shoes and sun protection.
Insider tips from repeat attendees
- A hotel near the airport corridor or northwestern Bengaluru cuts the commute to BIEC versus a central base.
- Use app cabs rather than driving in unfamiliar, congested areas.
- Arrive at the venue early, as security and registration lines build as delegations arrive.
- Carry some rupees for small purchases even though cards and UPI are widely accepted.
