PM Modi inaugurated Phase-1 of the international convention centre Yashobhoomi at Dwarka Sector 25, which is touted to become one of the world's largest Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions (MICE) facility. The over 0.89 million square metre centre, with three exhibition halls and equipped with the largest LED media facade in the country, has a seating capacity of over 11,000 delegates and has been built at a cost of Rs.54 billion. The PM said the new facility along with the recently inaugurated Bharat Mandapam at Pragati Maidan will make Delhi the biggest hub for conference and exhibition tourism in the world. He said the sector is worth over Rs.250 billion and highlighted that over 32,000 big exhibitions and expos are organised in the world every year. The auditorium has one of the most innovative automated seating systems which allow the floor to be a flat floor or an auditorium style tiered seating for different seating configurations. Referring to Bharat Mandapam, which had become a topic of discussion across the world, he said that Yashobhoomi furthered this tradition with greater magnificence. He added that Yashobhoomi will become a medium for showcasing the India of the future. He said it reflects both multimodal connectivity and PM Gatishakti, illustrating this by talking about connectivity provided to the centre by Metro and inauguration of the Metro terminal.
