Yashobhoomi Inauguration By PM Modi

The first phase of the "Yashobhoomi" or India International Convention and Expo Center (IICC) will be officially opened by Prime Minister Modi. The creation of "a world-class infrastructure to host meetings, conferences, and exhibitions within the country" was the primary motivation for this initiative.

According to a statement from the prime minister's office, "Yashobhoomi" will be one of the largest MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) facilities in the world with a project area of over 8.9 lakh square meters and a total built-up area exceeding 1.8 lakh square meters.

'Yashobhoomi' will also be connected to the Delhi Airport Metro Express line, with the opening of the new 'Yashobhoomi Dwarka Sector 25' metro station. To shorten travel times, DMRC will increase the operational speed of trains on the Airport Express Line from 90 to 120 kmph. It will take roughly 21 minutes to travel from "New Delhi" to "Yashobhoomi Dwarka Sector 25."
