Delhi’s new sports stadium in Dwarka will be finished by September 2027

According to a statement from the Delhi Development Authority (DDA). With a predicted completion date of September 2027, this state-of-the-art stadium is currently on an accelerated timeline, positioned to become a key athletic hub in the city.

Inaugurated in September 2022 by the former Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena, the Dwarka Stadium project is a significant achievement in the urban development of Delhi. The stadium, which will be built on 50.4 acres in Dwarka Sector 19B, will be the result of a public-private cooperation between the DDA and the real estate company Omaxe. This partnership will be the first sports infrastructure project implemented under this concept by DDA.

An international football and cricket stadium with 30,000 seats will be the focal point of the project. Still, the amenities aren’t exclusive to big-time sports.

“According to a DDA official cited by TOI, it will be an integrated multisport arena with additional facilities for swimming, tennis, badminton, squash, table tennis, etc., as well as an international cricket-cum-football stadium with a seating capacity of 30,000. There will also be indoor multisport facilities with a seating capacity of 2,000.”

The highly awaited Dwarka Stadium is scheduled to begin construction by the end of 2024

The stadium will serve the general public in addition to its 3,000 club memberships. As to the official statement, the facility would operate on a pay-and-play model, with a minimum capacity of 25%.

“Any sporting facilities built on the property will be open to the public without the need for membership. Pay-and-play access is available to non-members, who are permitted to occupy a minimum of 25% of the facility, according to the official.

A stadium would cost 350 crore Indian rupees to build

With an estimated cost of INR 350 crore, the facility is intended to serve as more than just a sports complex. It will have about 3.5 lakh square feet of commercial space available for 99-year leases, including office space, a hotel, and retail spaces.
