The mega project of CODISSIA (Coimbatore District Small Industries Association), the permanent Trade Fair complex at Coimbatore - COINTEC (CODISSIA INTEC Technology Centre), is to be developed in three phases. This Rs 50 crore complex will eventually have a display area of 3.3 lakh square feet, with an additional 1.1 lakh square feet for administration and amenities.

The complex boasts the country's largest column-free exhibition hall of international standards. Among the fairs conducted at this premier venue were the industrial fair INTEC 2000, IFEX 2000, south India's largest automotive fair Auto Focus 2000 and the consumer exhibition Lifestyle 2000. With its state-of-the-art facilities, COINTEC is already being considered a fitting alternative to the Pragati Maidan, New Delhi.
