This multipurpose convention center’s auditorium is the largest in the country and can accommodate approximately 6,000 visitors.

The auditorium features one of the most advanced automated seating systems, which enables the floor to be either flat or tiered for a variety of seating configurations. It is also equipped with advanced security measures to assure the safety of the guests.
The underground parking garage for over 3,000 vehicles is also equipped with over 100 charging stations for electric vehicles.
It also includes materials and objects inspired by Indian culture, such as terrazzo floors with brass inlays representing rangoli patterns, sound-absorbing metal cylinders suspended from the ceiling, and illuminated patterned walls.
There will also be media offices, VVIP lounges, cloakrooms, visitor information centres, and ticketing facilities.
