Yashobhoomi (lit. "Land of Fame" ) is a convention center located in Sector 25, Dwarka, Delhi, India.[3] It is the largest convention center in India and Asia by area, and one of the biggest MICE facilities in the world.[4][5] Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid Yashobhoomi's foundation stone on 20 September 2018.[6][7] Construction began on the following day and Phase-I 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 delayed completion to 15 September 2023. Yashobhoomi (Phase-I) was inaugurated by PM Modi On his birthday, September 17, 2023.[8][9]

Its development cost 25,700 crore (US$3.1 billion),[2][7] 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]
