Exhibiting at Open Exhibition Grounds, Rajkot
Open grounds where hangar-style German-tent exhibitions and trade fairs are set up. We design, fabricate, install and dismantle stalls here, with the organiser drawings and approvals prepared as part of the project rather than quoted as an extra.
Two stands of identical size can need completely different engineering depending on the room they go into. Height limits, rigging availability, fixing restrictions, power allocation and build hours all change with the venue, and all of them are settled in writing before fabrication starts.
Placed against the rest of the Rajkot list, Open Exhibition Grounds, Rajkot is the most open end of it — no walls, no ceiling, no fixed limits, and no shelter either. Knowing that before you design is what stops a stand being drawn for a hall and then built in a ballroom, which is the most expensive revision in this business.
As a Tier 2 market in Gujarat, Rajkot runs a thinner and more seasonal show calendar across 11 venue categories and 2 named venues. That usually means a shorter build window, a venue in use the day before, and a strike timed against the next booking rather than the next show.
Building on an open exhibition ground
An open ground is the most flexible and the most exposed option in any city. There is no door to limit panel size and usually no ceiling to limit height, because vehicles can reach the stand itself — but weather, dust, ground level and generator power all have to be designed in rather than assumed, and a hangar or German tent normally sits over the top of the whole thing.
Open exhibition grounds vary from one address to the next even inside Rajkot, so the figures below are the pattern rather than the contract. The organiser's pack for your show is what we actually design to.
What changes at open exhibition grounds
| Build input | At open exhibition grounds |
|---|---|
| Access route & panel sizes | Vehicles usually reach the stand itself, so panel size is limited by the truck and the crew rather than by a door. That is the one real structural advantage an open ground gives a builder. |
| Fixing method | Pegs, ballast and ground anchors, plus fixings into the hangar or tent frame where the organiser permits them. Tall elements are triangulated because there is nothing solid to lean against. |
| Power source | Generator supply with its own distribution and a backup path. Cable runs are long, so voltage drop, protected routing and crossing points across walkways are designed rather than discovered. |
| Floor protection | Raised platform flooring to level uneven ground, keep dust down and give cables a route. Underneath the platform, drainage matters as much as levelling does. |
| Build & strike hours | A longer build-up window than an indoor hall, because tenting, flooring and power all precede the stand. Daylight working is the norm and dust is continuous. |
| Weather & environment | The governing constraint. Rain, wind, heat and dust are all designed for — sealed edges, covered junctions, wind loading on anything tall, and no graphic that cannot take a shower. |
Read this as the pattern for open exhibition grounds, then check it against the organiser's pack. Where the two disagree, the pack wins and the drawing changes before the material does.
How we build for this kind of venue
- Wind loading accounted for on every tall, hanging or fabric element
- A longer build-up window because tenting, flooring and power precede the stand
- Panels sized by the truck and the crew rather than by a door
- Drainage considered under the platform as carefully as the levels above it
- Generator power with its own distribution and a backup path
- Edge sealing and covered electrical junctions as standard on an exposed site
What to ask the organiser about open exhibition grounds
Send the organiser this list before you commission anything. Each answer removes a contingency from the quote, and at open exhibition grounds two or three of them change the structure rather than the finish.
Get these in writing before you brief anyone
- Wind-loading limits on tall or hanging elements, and whether any are barred outright
- The build-up sequence, since flooring and tenting have to be finished before stands begin
- Overnight security arrangements on an open site
- Whether tenting or a hangar is provided by the organiser, and the clear height under it
- Vehicle access to the stand itself, and for how long a vehicle may remain
- Whether power is generator or mains, the allocation per stand, and the distance to the connection point
Who exhibits at Rajkot venues, and what that changes
Chemicals, textiles, diamonds & jewellery, ceramics and engineering account for most of the exhibiting activity in Rajkot, and the sector is a bigger design input than the brand is. A chemicals visitor and a textiles visitor will judge the same 18 sq.m by completely different criteria, so we brief against the sector first and the identity second.
Most Rajkot exhibitors are selling to more than one of those audiences, which is an argument for a layout rather than a style. Give the chemicals audience the frontage and the textiles audience the back corner, and the stand stops trying to be two things in the same square metre.
Rajkot's sector mix and what each needs from a stand
| Sector | What the stand has to do |
|---|---|
| Chemicals | Chemical exhibitors sell specification rather than appearance. Plan a technical literature wall, a closed meeting space for formulation talk, and a safe display method for anything in a container. |
| Textiles | Textile buyers handle everything. Rail and drape capacity, a fold-and-compare table, true-colour lighting, and a lockable store for the sample ranges that leave the stand each day. |
| Diamonds & jewellery | Jewellery needs locked and individually lit cases, a seated viewing position with true-colour light, and staff positions that keep every case in view from one spot. |
| Ceramics | Ceramics and tiles are heavy and reflective. Load-rated display frames, a layout that shows tile at floor angle as well as on the wall, and lighting that does not glare off glaze. |
| Engineering | An engineering audience reads drawings and specifications, so the stand needs a technical wall, a sample or cutaway to handle, and a table with chairs where a quote can actually be discussed. |
The sectors listed are the ones that drive exhibiting activity across Gujarat. Where your show draws from more than one of them, the space plan below is where the compromise gets resolved.

Stall sizes and lead times for Open Exhibition Grounds, Rajkot
Most stands at a venue like this fall between 9 and 72 sq.m. The table below uses the same formula as our stall planner — storage at 10% of area up to 18 sq.m and 15% above, a meeting corner at 5% unless you are hosting meetings, display taking the remainder — so you can sanity-check a quote against the space you have actually booked.
Read the display column rather than the size column. A 36 sq.m stand carries about 28.8 sq.m of usable display once storage and a meeting corner are taken out, which is the number that decides how much product and how many people the stand can actually hold.
Space, staffing and lead time by stall size
| Stall size | Footprint | Likely layout | Display | Staff | Visitors at once | Build weeks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 sq.m | 3 × 3 m | Inline or corner | 7.6 sq.m | 2 | 3 | 3 |
| 18 sq.m | 3 × 6 m | Inline or corner | 15.3 sq.m | 2 | 6 | 3 |
| 36 sq.m | 6 × 6 m | Corner or three-side open | 28.8 sq.m | 4 | 11 | 4 |
| 54 sq.m | 6 × 9 m | Corner or three-side open | 43.2 sq.m | 6 | 17 | 5 |
| 72 sq.m | 6 × 12 m | Three-side open or island | 57.6 sq.m | 8 | 23 | 5 |
Custom stalls typically run ₹9,000–₹18,000 per sq.m for the build; modular and octanorm construction costs less, and an upgraded shell scheme less again. AV, furniture, flooring, transport and taxes are quoted on separate lines.
Designing a stand that works at Open Exhibition Grounds, Rajkot
On an open ground your competition is the sky, not the neighbouring stand. Height, a roof line of your own and lighting that still works at dusk are what make a stand findable from the far side of the ground.
The most common mistake here is treating every wall as equally valuable. One face does most of the work; identify it from the stand plan, spend the budget on it, and treat the rest as support.
The buyers at this venue tend to come from chemicals, textiles and diamonds & jewellery. That shapes the brief more than the aesthetics do — a chemicals visitor is looking for evidence, not atmosphere.
How a build at open exhibition grounds runs
01
Read the venue pack
The job starts with paperwork rather than with a concept. We want the stand plan, the access route, the power allocation and the permitted working hours in writing, and at open exhibition grounds we pay particular attention to whether tenting and flooring are provided by the organiser, and when they will be finished.
02
Design to the limits
The concept is then developed inside those limits rather than adjusted to them afterwards. At open exhibition grounds that means designing for platform flooring, sealed edges, wind loading on tall elements and generator distribution from the first sketch instead of retrofitting it to a finished drawing.
03
Build and test in the workshop
The stall is fabricated and then stood up in our own workshop: panels numbered, graphics trial-fitted, circuits tested and lamps aimed. Problems get found where there is time to fix them rather than at open exhibition grounds at midnight.
04
Install, hand over, strike
A named project manager and the crew that pre-assembled the stall install it to the drawing and hand over a working stand. Site care is part of that rather than an afterthought: levelling, dust sealing at the platform edges and covered electrical junctions. The same crew returns to dismantle and clear the stand inside the organiser's window.
What else is in Rajkot
The named venue list for Rajkot runs to 2 buildings on top of this one: Racecourse Ground and Shastri Maidan. Taking each name at its word, they divide into 2 open grounds and maidans — which is why a stand that worked at one Rajkot venue is not automatically a stand that works at the next.
Underneath the named venues sit the 11 venue categories we cover in every city, Rajkot included: 5-star hotel ballrooms, convention & banquet halls, open exhibition grounds, mall atriums, university & college campuses, industry association halls, stadium & sports complexes, corporate campus event spaces, industrial estate expo grounds, government exhibition grounds and resort & lawn venues. A large share of exhibiting activity in India happens in those rooms rather than in exhibition halls, which is why they get their own pages rather than a footnote.
Named Rajkot venues, read by what each one calls itself
| Venue | Type read from the name | What that implies for a stand |
|---|---|---|
| Racecourse Ground | Open ground or maidan | On an open ground your competition is the sky, not the neighbouring stand. |
| Shastri Maidan | Open ground or maidan | Open-ground visitors arrive hot, dusty and already tired of walking. |
A venue's name is a strong hint and not a specification. We confirm height, rigging, fixing, power and hours from the organiser's pack for your edition before design sign-off.

Build-up
Build-up, access and approvals in Rajkot
In Rajkot the schedule is the organiser's, not yours — which means the build has to be designed around a fixed window, a shared bay and a queue. Pre-assembly in the workshop is what turns that window from a risk into a routine.
You can take the whole scope or just part of it. Most exhibitors take design and build together and add AV and furniture to the same quote, because the alternative is reconciling three delivery schedules yourself.
What we handle for you
- Organiser drawings, electrical load details and approvals in the format Rajkot organisers ask for
- Design checked against height, rigging, fixing and fire rules before sign-off
- Pre-assembly and electrical testing in the workshop before dispatch
- Transport, installation and an on-site crew inside the build-up window
- Dismantle and clearing the stand inside the dismantle period
Exhibiting elsewhere in Gujarat
Gujarat is not a one-city exhibition market. We cover 10 cities in the state — Rajkot, Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, Gandhinagar and Bhavnagar, plus 4 more — with the same workshops, crews and project managers, so a programme that runs across several of them runs on one schedule rather than several.
Open exhibition grounds are not unique to Rajkot either: we cover the same category in all 10 of the Gujarat cities on our list, which means the access, fixing and power pattern described above travels with you. A stand built for open exhibition grounds here is usually re-skinnable for the equivalent venue in the next city rather than rebuildable.
Running several cities in a season works best with one structure and several graphic sets. The panels are numbered and stored between shows, each city gets its own print and its own organiser paperwork, and the same project manager carries the job from the first show to the last.

FAQ
Venue FAQ
Can you build at Open Exhibition Grounds, Rajkot?+
Yes. We build at open exhibition grounds throughout Rajkot, covering design, fabrication, installation and dismantle inside the organiser's window.
What does a stall at Open Exhibition Grounds, Rajkot cost?+
Custom stalls typically range from ₹9,000 to ₹18,000 per sq.m depending on size, finishes and AV; modular and octanorm builds cost less. Share your stand size and show dates for an itemised quote.
Can you work to a shell scheme at Open Exhibition Grounds, Rajkot?+
Yes. Where the organiser supplies shell scheme panels we upgrade them with printed fabric or vinyl, raised flooring, spotlights and a branded counter, which lifts the stand a long way at modest cost.
Who is on site during build-up at Open Exhibition Grounds, Rajkot?+
A named project manager and the crew that pre-assembled the stall. They install to the drawing, hand over a working stand and return to dismantle and clear it within the organiser's window.
Do you handle approvals for Open Exhibition Grounds, Rajkot?+
Yes. We prepare dimensioned drawings, electrical load details and structural documents to the organiser's format, and check the design against the venue's height, rigging and fire rules before fabrication.
Can you provide AV, lighting and furniture at Open Exhibition Grounds, Rajkot?+
Yes — LED walls, screens, lighting, furniture, flooring and carpeting can be bundled with the stall build on a single quote.
What happens to an open-ground stand if it rains?+
A stand designed for the site takes it. Platform flooring lifts the build clear of standing water, edges are sealed, electrical junctions are covered, and graphics are specified in materials that tolerate a wetting rather than paper-faced boards that do not.
How is power supplied on an open exhibition ground?+
Usually by generator, with distribution run out to the stands and a backup path for critical loads. We confirm the allocation and the distance to the connection point in advance, because long cable runs change both the cable specification and the cost.
Do you design differently for chemicals exhibitors here?+
Yes. Rajkot's show calendar is driven by chemicals, textiles, diamonds & jewellery, ceramics and engineering, and the sector decides the fundamentals — how much product has to be on open display, how private the meeting space needs to be, whether the floor has to carry load and whether water, drainage or three-phase power are required. We brief against the sector before the identity.
Can the same stand be used at another Gujarat venue?+
Usually, if it is built for it. We cover 10 Gujarat cities including Rajkot, Ahmedabad, Surat and Vadodara, and a frame-and-skin stand can be stored, re-skinned with new graphics and rebuilt at the equivalent venue elsewhere in the state. Say so at design stage, because a reusable stand is detailed differently.
What is the biggest risk at open exhibition grounds?+
Discovering a constraint after fabrication. Flooring, tenting and generator power all precede your stand on an open ground, so a crew planned in for the first available day arrives before the site is ready for them. That is why we ask for the access route, the fixing rules, the power allocation and the build-up window in writing before anything is cut, rather than treating any of them as a site problem.
