Real estate developer DLF plans to build a Rs 6,000-crore international convention centre near New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport. The centre will be located at one of the capital's fastest growing areas - Dwarka. Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has already assigned the contract for designing, development and operation of the international convention centre to DLF.

The complex will include 25 meeting rooms with total seating capacity of over 2,000 delegates and two 5,000 sq mt exhibition halls. The main convention hall of the centre, proposed to be set up on a 20 lakh sq ft area valued at Rs 900 crore, will accommodate 12,000 delegates with telescopic seating arrangements. The hall would be capable of partitioning in multiple smaller halls. The hotel complex will have a minimum of 800 rooms. At least one five-star hotel in the complex is projected to have 300 rooms.

The proposed centre will also have a commercial complex with food and beverages facilities, shopping malls, multiplexes, offices and ancillary support units. A hotel complex, to be constructed in a 6.5 lakh sq ft area, would comprise 835 rooms of different categories. The facilities will accommodate premium boarding and lodging complex for international students and diplomats, indoor and outdoor sports facilities, and global art and craft village.
