Yashobhoomi (lit. Land of Fame) is a convention center located in Sector 25, Dwarka, Delhi, India. It is the largest convention center by area in both India and Asia, and also among the world's largest MICE facilities.[3] Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid Yashobhoomi's foundation stone on 20 September 2018.[4][5] Construction began on the following day and was expected to be completed by September 2022 so that Yashobhoomi could host the G20 Summit in 2023.
However, labour shortages and slowdowns in work caused by the COVID-19 pandemic delated completion to 15 September 2023. Yashobhoomi was inaugurated by Modi on 17 September 2023.[6]
Its development cost ₹25,700 crore (US$3.1 billion),[2][5] out of which its first phase costs ₹5,400 crore (US$650 million). The total area of the entire convention center is 890,000 m2, with built-up areas of over 100,000 m2 and 300,000 m2, while its first phase covers 73,000 m2.[1]
