It boasts 15 convention rooms, including the main Auditorium, the Grand Ballroom, and 13 meeting rooms, collectively accommodating up to 11,000 delegates. A notable feature of the Convention Centre is the country's largest LED media facade.

'YashoBhoomi,' with its substantial size and cutting-edge amenities, underscores India's commitment to providing a conducive environment for world-class conventions and conferences, aligning with the nation's vision for global self-sufficiency and growth.
'YashoBhoomi' is a remarkable addition to India's event-hosting capabilities. The main auditorium, seating around 6,000 guests, features an innovative automated seating system, wooden floors, and accoustic wall panels. The Grand Ballroom can host 2,500 guests with a unique petal ceiling and an extended open area for 500 more attendees.
There are 13 meeting rooms, and 'YashoBhoomi' boasts one of the world's largest Exhibition halls at over 1.07 lakh square meters, ideal for exhibitions and trade fairs.
