In September 2023, Canara Lighting successfully completed the challenging project of illuminating the India International Convention & Expo Centre (IICC), also known as Yashobhoomi, in Dwarka, New Delhi. This is one of Asia’s largest and most prestigious convention centers. But for Canara, this wasn’t just another project. It was a canvas. And what they painted with beams of light is nothing short of extraordinary.
Where Innovation Meets Imagination
The brief was clear, yet ambitious: transform Yashobhoomi into a dynamic, adaptable venue capable of hosting events ranging from high-profile international summits to immersive performing arts.
Canara’s response? A symphony of state-of-the-art technology and thoughtful design.
With over 304 LED fixtures, 37 truss systems, and 74 precision-engineered chain hoists, the team didn’t just light the stage—they built the very skeleton that allows light to move, shape, and tell a story. These aren’t your average bulbs. These are intelligent luminaires, capable of colour-accurate ambience, and even silent transitions—perfect for everything from keynote addresses to classical dance dramas.
An advanced Dynamic Lighting Control System, operable via Wi-Fi and iPad, means that technicians can alter the mood of a room from across the hall—no wires, no delay, just instant atmosphere. That’s the kind of futuristic thinking Canara brought to the table.
From Blueprint to Brilliance
What makes this installation even more impressive is not just the technology, but the meticulous execution behind it. Before a single beam was hoisted, Canara’s experts undertook an exhaustive site survey. They tested, demonstrated, and calibrated—every spotlight, every fixture.
It’s this attention to detail that made the difference. For instance, the truss systems weren’t just installed—they were custom-fitted using chain hoists tailored to handle the structural integrity of aluminium box trusses. This ensured that the lighting infrastructure is rock-solid in safety and reliability.
During the official inauguration of IICC by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 17, 2023, the success of Canara’s lighting design took centre stage. The venue glowed with pride, professionalism, and the promise of world-class experiences to come.
Lighting the Way Forward
What Canara achieved at IICC isn’t just a story of technical mastery. It’s a shining example of how design, innovation, and a commitment to excellence can elevate an entire space—making it functional and unforgettable.
As Ajeet Khare, Managing Director of Canara Lighting, aptly put it:
“The successful installation at the India International Convention & Expo Centre stands as a testament to Canara Lighting’s expertise and dedication. Our team worked diligently to deliver a system that exceeds the expectations of our esteemed client.”
Final Thoughts: Why This Matters?
Whether you’re an architect, event planner, AV enthusiast, or just someone who appreciates how the smallest details can define the biggest moments, Canara’s project at IICC is a lesson in what happens when innovation meets purpose. It’s a reminder that every remarkable experience begins with a team bold enough to dream in light, shadow, and color.
So, the next time you attend a conference, a concert, or a cultural fest and find yourself mesmerized by the ambiance, take a moment to look up—not just at the lights, but at the vision behind them.
Because when done right, lighting doesn’t just illuminate a space. It tells a story.
