The proposed Karai Integrated Sports City has been envisioned as one of India’s most ambitious sporting developments, designed to serve as the flagship venue for the 2030 Commonwealth Games and a future Olympic Games bid.
Strategically located along the Sabarmati waterfront in Gujarat, the masterplan integrates world-class sports infrastructure, athlete support facilities, training venues, public spaces, and urban amenities into a unified international sporting precinct. Anchored by a landmark Olympic-standard stadium, the development is conceived to host multiple sporting disciplines while creating a vibrant destination that remains active long after major sporting events have concluded. The masterplan adopts a legacy-driven approach, ensuring that every facility is planned for long-term public use and operational sustainability. In addition to the main stadium, the precinct incorporates training venues, indoor sports facilities, athlete support infrastructure, media and broadcast facilities, public plazas, landscaped open spaces, parking, and integrated transportation networks. Planned to meet international standards for accessibility, security, sustainability, and event operations, the development will serve not only as a venue for global sporting events but also as a lasting centre for sports excellence, recreation, and community engagement. Shashi Prabhu & Associates, in joint venture with Knight Frank India, has been entrusted with the Bid Management for this prestigious assignment. The joint venture is responsible for preparing and coordinating the comprehensive bid documentation on behalf of the contractor, including technical submissions, planning strategies, commercial coordination, and compliance with the stringent requirements of international sporting events. By combining SPA’s expertise in architecture, engineering, and sports infrastructure with Knight Frank India’s strengths in project advisory and real estate consultancy, the team has developed a compelling and technically robust bid that supports Gujarat’s vision of hosting world-class sporting events and establishing a lasting Olympic legacy.
