Universal Studios Coming to India Soon; Set to Launch India’s First Indoor Theme Park in Delhi-NCR
New Delhi, June 9, 2025 – Universal Studios, the global entertainment giant, is set to make history with India’s first indoor theme park in Delhi-NCR. Located in Aerocity near Indira Gandhi International Airport, the park will be part of a sprawling 3 million sq ft mall developed by Bharti Realty.

Strategic Location & Economic Boost
Aerocity is rapidly transforming into a 17 million sq ft urban hub, with 6.5 million sq ft already developed. The integrated mall-and-entertainment complex is projected to generate over ₹5,000 crore in annual rental revenue. The theme park alone will create thousands of jobs in hospitality, retail, logistics, and entertainment, boosting Delhi-NCR’s appeal as a global tourism hotspot.
India’s Growing Indoor Entertainment Market
Currently, India has 6.6 million sq ft of indoor entertainment space across 523 locations. With rising disposable incomes and demand for immersive experiences, this sector is expected to expand to 11 million sq ft by 2028. Universal Studios’ entry signals a major leap in India’s leisure and entertainment evolution.
