Ahmedabad is ramping up its sports and civic infrastructure development in preparation for the 2030 Commonwealth Games. The Standing Committee chairman, Devang Dani, highlighted the city’s focus on building new international-standard facilities and undertaking large-scale urban upgrades. These preparations have injected fresh momentum into sports infrastructure development across Ahmedabad.
Dani mentioned the establishment of an international-level sports complex at Naranpura and emphasized the continuous enhancement of sports facilities to align with the vision of the Commonwealth Games. Notably, the city has developed four cricket grounds at different locations and completed a new sports complex at Vastral in the eastern zone, featuring an international-standard football ground with advanced amenities.
In addition to sports infrastructure, major civic initiatives have been outlined to support Ahmedabad’s growing population. An approval for an additional 468 million liters per day of Narmada water has been secured, benefiting around 18 to 20 lakh people in various zones of the city facing water shortages. Areas like Gota, Vastrapur, Thaltej, and others will witness increased water supply due to this allocation.
The Standing Committee has also greenlit the sale of a multi-level parking facility in Prahladnagar and approved the construction of a new water tank in Isanpur to address long-standing water issues. Furthermore, plans are in place to upgrade over 100 junctions in Ahmedabad using artificial intelligence-based systems to alleviate traffic congestion and enhance citizen convenience.
