The Narendra Modi Stadium is an international cricket stadium located in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. With a seating capacity of 132,000, it is the largest stadium in the world. The stadium, owned by the Gujarat Cricket Association, hosts both domestic and international cricket matches. It is recognized as one of the world's premier cricket venues. The stadium has hosted several high-profile matches such as the 2023 World Cup final. It is named after Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The land which holds Narendra Modi Stadium was formerly occupied by another venue, Sardar Patel Stadium. It served as the arena for domestic and international cricket in the city until its demolition in 2015, hosting matches during the 1987, 1996, and 2011 ICC World Cups. In 2014, it was decided that a new stadium should be built on the same plot. The new stadium, originally named Motera Stadium, was designed by Australia's design firm Populous and built by Larsen and Toubro. It took 5 years to build, at an estimated cost of ₹800 crore (US$96 million). Once completed, the new arena replaced the Melbourne Cricket Ground as the world's largest cricket stadium. The stadium has 4 dressing rooms, 11 center pitches, and 2 practice grounds. The practice grounds can additionally serve as venues for domestic matches.

The new stadium was first opened to the public in 2020 amid the Namaste Trump event. In February 2021, the stadium was renamed Narendra Modi Stadium in honour of Indian prime minister at the time, Narendra Modi. The prime minister had previously served as chief minister of Gujarat (2001–2014) as well as president of the GCA (2009-2014). In 2021, the stadium was inaugurated with Indian president Ram Nath Kovind presiding over the event.

On 24 February 2021, the stadium hosted its first Test match, when home side India played against England. It was also its first day-night test game. On 29 September 2022, the opening ceremony of the 2022 National Games of India was held in the stadium.

History

1982–2006

Prior to 1982, international cricket matches in Ahmedabad were played at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Stadium (located in Navrangpura), owned by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation.

In 1982, the Government of Gujarat allocated a 400,000-square-metre (100-acre) stretch of land on the banks of the Sabarmati River to build a new stadium. Construction of the stadium was completed in nine months. The venue was originally known simply as Gujarat Stadium, however, it was soon renamed Sardar Patel Stadium (not to be confused with the previously-mentioned site in Navrangpura), after Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, India's first home minister and deputy prime minister. Since its completion, all international cricket fixtures in Ahmedabad have been held at the site. In the 1984-85 Australia India series, Sardar Patel Stadium hosted its first ODI, which India lost.

At the arena, Sunil Gavaskar became the first batter to score 10,000 runs in Test cricket, a feat he accomplished against Pakistan in their 1987 tour. In 1983, Kapil Dev took a nine-wicket haul against the West Indies in 1983, and claimed his 432nd Test wicket at the stadium. This made him the highest wicket-taker in the world in 1995, breaking Sir Richard Hadlee's previous record. In 1996, the ground hosted a low-scoring Test match against South Africa, in which the visitors lost 105–223.

Sardar Patel Stadium hosted one game each in the 1987 and 1996 World Cups, including the first match of the 1996 World Cup between England and New Zealand.

2006–2015

Sardar Patel Stadium (before reconstruction)

In 2006, The stadium became a focal venue of ICC Champions Trophy and hosted five of the 15 games played. In preparation for the tournament, the stadium was renovated to add three new pitches and a new outfield. Floodlights and covered stands were also introduced at the stadium as a part of the renovation program.

In the 2010 New Zealand tour of India, the first Test of the series was held at the venue, in which Kane Williamson scored a hundred on his Test debut.

The stadium hosted three games during the 2011 Cricket World Cup, including the quarterfinals between Australia and India. Sachin Tendulkar became the first cricketer to score 18,000 runs in ODIs.

2014–2020 (construction of new stadium)

Conception

The idea to build a new stadium was reportedly proposed by Narendra Modi, the president of the Gujarat Cricket Association and the Chief Minister of Gujarat at the time. Shortly before Modi moved to Delhi after becoming the prime minister of India, there were discussions about adding minor upgrades to the stadium and further developing areas of the structure at the pavilion end. Modi asked officials to build a new larger stadium, instead of pursuing minor renovation work.

In October 2015, the stadium was demolished for reconstruction, though some media referred to it as a renovation. The total cost of reconstruction was estimated to be ₹700 crores (₹7 billion (US$84 million)). However, the final cost was reported at ₹800 crore (US$96 million). The redevelopment, originally planned to be completed in 2019, finished in February 2020.

Bids

After starting demolition work at the end of 2015, the GCA issued a request for tender on 1 January 2016 in The Times of India and The Indian Express. Nine bidders showed interest and purchased the tender documents, out of which three submitted technical and financial bids on time; they were the Shapoorji Pallonji Group, Nagarjuna Construction Company, and Larsen & Toubro (L&T). A Tender Commercial Committee (TCC) of nine experts was formed to evaluate tenders. Additionally, STUP Consultants, a civil engineering consultancy firm based in Mumbai, was appointed as the project management consultant to evaluate proposals and technical details of each bid working with the TCC.

Each of the three bidders presented their designs, models, and technical details of their concepts and designs. Due to the sheer size and complexity of the project, the bidders were evaluated on many parameters. These included efficiency, resources, project length, and ease of implementation, among others. The bidders were ranked and weighted based on the parameters.

Bids Submitted for Sardar Patel's Reconstruction

Bidder	Bid	Evaluation	Notes
Larsen & Toubro	₹677.19 crore (US$81 million)	Lowest-1 (L1)	Winning bid. Financially lowest and technically ranked first.
Shapoorji Pallonji & Co. Ltd.	₹847.88 crore (US$100 million)	Lowest-2 (L2)
Nagarjuna Construction Co. Ltd.	₹1,065 crore (US$130 million)	Highest (L3)

In the end, L&T was selected as the principal contractor to build and design the stadium.

Building work

L&T took over the construction work of the stadium in December 2016. On 16 January 2017, the Gujarat Cricket Association oversaw the project, which formally began on the same day. The stadium was planned to be finished in 2 years, and the reconstruction project was estimated to cost around ₹700 crore ($93 million). Final completion of the stadium was finished in February 2020, and it hosted an England-India day-night test match in 2021.

Mumbai-based commercial kitchen consultants "Span Asia" were hired to collaborate with Populous and L&T on food and beverage-related areas such as concession counters, main stadium kitchens, player kitchens, VIP/VVIP boxes, corporate boxes, press & media boxes, pantries, the GCA Club, and related areas.

2020–present

In 2020, the event "Namaste Trump" was organised at the stadium for the visit of US president Donald J. Trump to India. 125,000 attendees were recorded. In February 2021, it was announced that the stadium would be renamed "Narendra Modi Stadium". Congress initially criticized the decision, before it was made clear that the complex would continue to hold the name "Sardar Patel Sports Enclave", and only the stadium would receive a new name.

Prime Minister Modi inaugurated the 2022 National Games of India in the arena. It later became the home ground of IPL team Gujarat Titans. The venue hosted the 2022 and 2023 IPL finals.

The arena also hosted 5 matches of the 2023 Cricket World Cup, including the opening and final games, as well as high-profile matches pitting India against Pakistan and Australia against England.

Stadium design and facilities

The stadium during the 2023 cricket world cup final

The stadium is built on 63 acres of land and has 4 entry points, with a metro line at one of the entry points. It has 76 corporate boxes that can hold 25 persons each, a 55-room clubhouse, an Olympic size swimming pool, and four dressing rooms. A food court and hospitality area is available in each spectator stand. The stadium also includes an indoor cricket academy and practice pitches, with dormitories for 40 athletes.

The stands generally follow a two-tier structure, however there is a three-tier main pavilion. The two-tier structure is supported from beneath by numerous Y-shaped columns, which eliminate the need for pillars and thus gives spectators an unobstructed view of the entire field from all parts of the stadium. An LED light system lines the stadium roof's inside edge. This eliminates the need for floodlights and helps reduce shadows on the pitch. The LED lights are installed on an antibacterial, fireproof canopy with PTFE membrane that covers 30 metres (98 ft) out of 55 metres (180 ft) width of the seating area. The roof was installed by Walter P Moore, and was specifically designed to be lightweight and separate from the seating bowls in order to improve earthquake resistance.

The ground has 11 centre pitches. The playing field has sensors to detect the need of water for the grass, which can automatically activate 67 fully automated underground pop-up sprinklers. The ground surface is made of Bermuda grass. The stadium has an extensive drainage system.

The stadium premises has many facilities, including an indoor cricket practice area, badminton, tennis, and Squash courts, table tennis area, 3D projector theater, three practice grounds, and 50 rooms. The parking lot can accommodate 3,000 cars and 10,000 two-wheelers. A ramp leading to the stadium is designed to facilitate the movement of around 60,000 people simultaneously. The arena has been designed in such that the upper stands can remain empty (such as during smaller events) while maintaining a sufficient crowd atmosphere. However, a game between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2024 saw a near housefull crowd of over 1 lakh.

There was a plan that the stadium would be connected to the nearest metro station by a skywalk bridge in order to decrease road congestion. Construction was planned to be completed after September 2020. As of November 2023, the skywalk is yet to be constructed.

On March 9, 2023, Narendra Modi Stadium hosted the 75 Years of Friendship through Cricket Event, which was attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and visiting Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese. The event was held in conjunction with the fourth Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia.

The event began with the two prime ministers singing the national anthems of their respective countries and shaking hands with the players of both teams. They then visited a gallery showcasing glimpses of 75 years of cricket friendship between the two countries. After the gallery visit, the two prime ministers took a lap of honor around the stadium in a specially designed golf cart. They were greeted by loud cheers from the crowd, who waved Indian and Australian flags. The event concluded with the two prime ministers tossing the coin to start the Test match.

The 75 Years of Friendship through Cricket Event was a celebration of the strong ties between India and Australia, which have been forged over many years through the shared love of cricket. The event was also an opportunity to promote sports diplomacy and to encourage people from both countries to come together and celebrate their friendship.
