The convention center places a strong emphasis on sustainability. It boasts a modern wastewater treatment system, provisions for rainwater harvesting, and has been awarded Platinum certification by the Indian Green Building Council. To enhance connectivity, a new Metro station named 'YashoBhoomi Dwarka Sector 25' was also inaugurated, linking this iconic venue with the Delhi Metro Airport Express.
YashoBhoomi ranks among the world's largest MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) facilities, spanning over 8.9 lakh square meters, with a built-up area exceeding 1.8 lakh square meters. The convention center occupies more than 73,000 square meters and includes 15 convention rooms, including the main auditorium, a ballroom, and 13 meeting rooms, with a collective capacity of 11,000 delegates.
Key Facilities at YashoBhoomi:
1. The Auditorium: This plenary hall can accommodate around 6,000 guests and features an innovative automated seating system, allowing for various seating configurations.
