The Narendra Modi Stadium (formerly colloquially known as Motera Stadium) is a cricket stadium situated in Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Sports Complex, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. With a seating capacity of 110,000 spectators, it is the second largest stadium in the world by capacity, sitting behind the Rungrado 1st of May Stadium located in Pyongyang, North Korea which can host up to 150,000[9].[10]. The stadium is owned by the Gujarat Cricket Association and serves as the venue for domestic and international cricket matches.[11]

The stadium was constructed in 1983 and was first renovated in 2006.[12] It became the regular venue for international matches in the city. In 2015, the stadium was closed and demolished before being completely rebuilt by February 2020, with an estimated cost of ₹800 crore (US$94 million).[10]

Apart from cricket, the stadium has hosted several programs arranged by the Government of Gujarat. It has hosted matches during the 1987, 1996, and 2011 Cricket World Cups.[13] As of 2022, the stadium has hosted 14 Tests, 27 ODIs, 6 T20s matches and 2 IPL matches[14][15][11]

On 24 February 2021, the stadium was renamed as the Narendra Modi Stadium by the Gujarat Cricket Association in honour of the current Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, who was president of the Gujarat Cricket Association (2009–2014) and the chief minister of the Gujarat from 2001 to 2014.[16] In 2021 the stadium was inaugurated by the president of India, Ram Nath Kovind, in an event preside by him.[17]

It was first opened to the public in 2020 amid the Namaste Trump event, organized for president of the United States Donald Trump.[17] In February 2021, the venue hosted its first ever "day and night test match", during England's tour of India.[18]

The arena will host the final of the 2023 ICC World Cup on 19 November.[19]

History

1982–2006 (Early years)

Formerly known as the Gujarat Stadium, the ground was renamed in tribute to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel,[citation needed] India's first Home Minister and Deputy Prime Minister. Before the Sardar Patel Stadium, international cricket matches in the city were played at the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation's stadium of the same name (Sardar Patel Stadium) in the Navrangpura area. In 1982, the Government of Gujarat donated a 400,000-square-metre (100-acre) stretch of land on the banks of the Sabarmati River to build a new stadium. The construction of the Sardar Patel Stadium was completed in nine months.[5] Since then, all International cricket fixtures for the city are hosted here. In the 1984-85 Australia India series, Sardar Patel Stadium hosted its first ODI, in which India was lost.

At the arena Sunil Gavaskar became the first ever batter to score 10,000 runs in the Test cricket, he did the feat against Pakistan in their 1987 tour.[20] In 1983, Kapil Dev took a nine-wicket haul against the West Indies in 1983, and claimed his 432nd Test wicket at the stadium to become the highest wicket-taker in the world in 1995, which broke Sir Richard Hadlee's previous record.[21] In 1996, the ground hosted a low-scoring Test match against South Africa, where the visitors lost 105–170. Javagal Srinath took six wickets in the fourth inning of the match. South Africa won in a rematch game when they bowled India out for 76 runs in the first session of the Test match in 2008 and won the game by an inning and 90 runs.

2006–2015

Sardar Patel Stadium (before reconstruction)

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

The Sardar Patel Stadium has hosted games whenever India has hosted the Cricket World Cup, including the first match of the 1996 World Cup between England and New Zealand. However, while the stadium hosted only one game each in 1987 and 1996, it hosted three games in the 2011 World Cup, including the quarter-finals between Australia and India. Sachin Tendulkar became the first cricketer to score 18,000 runs in One Day Internationals. As of 19 August 2017, Sardar Patel has hosted 12 Tests, 23 ODIs and 1 T20I.

2015–2020 (Reconstruction)

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$82 million)).[22][23] However, the final cost was reported at ₹800 crore (US$94 million). The redevelopment, originally planned to be completed in 2019, finished in February 2020.

Conception

The idea to build the 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 minor upgrades to the stadium and development of the structure at the pavilion end. Modi asked the officials to build a new larger stadium instead of minor renovation work.[24]

Bids

After starting demolition work at the end of 2015, the Gujarat Cricket Association 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. 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.[25]

Each of the three bidders presented their designs, models, and technical details of their concepts & designs. Because of the sheer size and complexity of the project, the bidders were evaluated on multiple parameters like efficiency, resources, the time frame of completion, ease of implementation etc. The bidders were ranked and weighted on all of the parameters.

Bids Submitted for Sardar Patel's Reconstruction
Bidder Bid Evaluation Notes
Larsen & Toubro ₹677.19 crore (US$79 million) Lowest-1 (L1) Winning bid. Financially lowest and technically ranked first.
Shapoorji Pallonji & Co. Ltd. ₹847.88 crore (US$99 million) Lowest-2 (L2)
Nagarjuna Construction Co. Ltd. ₹1,065 crore (US$120 million) Highest (L3)

In the end, L&T was finalized as the Principal Contractor to build and design the stadium.

Work

L&T took over the construction work of the stadium in December 2016.[26] 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).[27] Finishing touches were given to the stadium in February 2020 and it hosted an England-India day-night test match in 2021.[28]

Mumbai-based Commercial Kitchen Consultants "Span Asia" were hired to work with Populous and L&T on all the F&B Related areas such as the Concession Counters, Main Stadium Kitchens, Player Kitchens, VIP/VVIP Boxes, Corporate Boxes, Press & Media Boxes, Pantries, GCA Club and Related areas.

2020–present

PM Modi inaugurated 2022 national games in the arena.

Stadium design and facilities

The redesigned stadium occupies 63 acres of land, with three entry points as compared to one in the old stadium, with a metro line at one of the entry points. It contains 76 corporate boxes that can hold 25 persons each,[29] a 55-room clubhouse, an Olympic sized swimming pool,[29][30] and four dressing rooms. A unique feature of the stadium is the LED lights on the roof instead of the usual floodlights at cricket grounds. 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 sitting area. The roof was done by the company Walter P Moore and was specifically designed to be lightweight and separate from the seating bowls in order to make it fairly earthquake resistant.[31] The structure eliminates the need for pillars and gives spectators an unobstructed view of the entire field from any place in the Stadium.

Outside of the main ground, the stadium is able to accommodate several other features, including an Olympic-sized swimming pool, an indoor cricket academy, badminton and tennis courts, a Squash arena, a table tennis area, a 3D projector theater, and a clubhouse with three practice grounds and 50 rooms.[32] The parking lot can accommodate 3,000 cars and 10,000 two-wheelers. The Narendra Modi Stadium also has a huge ramp designed to facilitate the movement of around 60,000 people simultaneously. The stadium has been designed such that patrons fill the lower levels of the ground for smaller events to maintain the crowd atmosphere when not at full capacity.[33]

It has also been planned that the stadium will be connected to the metro station by a skywalk to decrease road congestion. The skywalk is planned to be completed after September 2020, and is a part of the Motera Metro Station project rather than the stadium's.[34]

The total area of the stadium is equivalent to 32 Football fields. It is also the only stadium in the world with 11 centre pitches on the main ground.[35]

2023 ICC World Cup

The arena is scheduled to host the first and the final games of the 2023 ICC World Cup. It will host the high-profile India v Pakistan and Australia vs England games.[19]
