The then UP Chief minister Akhilesh Yadav had laid the foundation stone for the project in April 2015.  It was slated for completion by November 25, 2016.

Shipotsav is tentatively scheduled to take place from October 26 to November 02 at Shilp Haat And Bunkar Bhawan Noida. Every year Noida hosts this handicraft and consumer trade fair at the Ramleela grounds in the Noida stadium just before diwali.

‘Hunar Hub’ in Noida

Once the Ship Haat becomes functional, it will serve as a regular venue for Shilp utsav and other events besides being a one stop hub for artisans from across the country to display and sell their products directly to the buyer eliminating middlemen. This complex is part of government’s plan to develop Noida as a ‘Hunar hub’ – a prototype model to be replicated in the the states which would encourage their local arts and crafts.
