India International Convention & Expo Centre (Yashobhoomi / IICC)

What India International Convention & Expo Centre (Yashobhoomi / IICC) does

Yashobhoomi (India International Convention & Expo Centre, IICC) is a Government of India-owned MICE infrastructure project located in Dwarka, New Delhi, at the Delhi-Gurgaon border. It opened in 2023 as India's largest convention and exhibition centre, with 300,000 m2 of indoor exhibition and convention space, 1 million m2 of total built-up area, 51,000 m2 of divisible exhibition halls, a 6,000-capacity auditorium (India's largest), a 3,500 m2 Grand Ballroom, 15 meeting rooms, an 8,000 m2 LED media facade, a 10,000 m2 Grand Foyer, and 34,808-vehicle automated parking. The venue is operated by KINEXIN Convention Management Pvt. Ltd., a private joint venture between KINTEX (Korea's largest exhibition operator, holding 40% of Korea's aggregate exhibit space) and Messe Esang (a KOSDAQ-listed trade show organizer), selected through an international competitive bid by the Government of India in 2018.

The business model is event-driven and rental-based. Revenue is generated through four streams: one-time venue rental of exhibition halls and convention spaces (auditorium, meeting rooms, ballroom), ancillary event services (catering, parking, security, logistics, power distribution, temporary networking), and parking services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct sales targeting event organizers, corporate entities, and exhibitors, with dedicated heads for exhibition marketing and convention centre sales, supported by a website enquiry channel and an international promotion agency covering markets including South Korea.

The venue is connected to Delhi Airport via the Yashobhoomi Dwarka Sector 25 metro station on the Airport Express Line, reaching central Delhi in 20 minutes, with the airport itself 10 km away. Phase 2 expansion is underway, planning three additional large exhibition halls (to total five), a 20,000-capacity multipurpose arena, and 3,500 hotel rooms to convert the complex into a fully integrated MICE destination. An empanelled vendor ecosystem spans logistics (BIG Logistics, Buhariwala, PS Bedi, R.E. Rogers, Siddhartha Logistics), security (Checkmate, G4S, SIS), power (Grade Electrical, Third Wave Services, Yellow Rental), temporary networking (AirConnect Infosystems, Spectra Services), medical (Global Health/Medanta), and catering (FoodLink).

• Singapore EXPO: Established Southeast Asian convention and exhibition complex with similar hall-rental-plus-services model. Competes for international exhibitions that rotate across Asian venues.
• Dubai World Trade Centre: Long-established MICE destination in the Middle East with comparable exhibition halls and convention facilities. Competes for the same international rotating exhibitions seeking premium Asian/MENA venues.
• Koelnmesse (Cologne Trade Fair): Major global trade fair organizer and venue operator in Germany. Comparable as a benchmark operator for international exhibition curation, organizer relations, and venue monetization best practices.

Emerging players

• KINTEX (Korea International Exhibition & Convention Center): KINEXIN's parent and one of the world's largest exhibition centers (40% of Korea's exhibit space). Same operating playbook, facility type, and tenant model; key reference for benchmarking utilization and pricing.

• Jio World Convention Centre: Mumbai-based premium convention and exhibition venue developed by Reliance, with comparable large-format halls, ballrooms, and meeting spaces. Targets the same premium corporate and exhibition organizer segment as Yashobhoomi.
• Bombay Exhibition Centre (BEC / NESCO): Long-standing Mumbai exhibition venue hosting major trade shows. Comparable in operating model (large exhibition halls, corporate events) and directly competes for pan-India exhibition organizer bookings.

Regional players

• Hyderabad International Convention Centre (HITEX): Major South Indian convention and exhibition facility with comparable hall and convention offerings. Geographic peer rather than direct competitor, but a substitute for exhibitions choosing between Indian metro venues.
