Bentel Associates International has been appointed to masterplan the commercial, retail, hotel, and club components and will design the fully air-conditioned retail high-street and the five-star Gateway Hotel by IHCL. More than 25 international and national consultants have been engaged to provide specialist inputs, including wind and security advisers to ensure safety and comfort for players and fans. The stadium will have a capacity of 30,000 and an indoor-outdoor sports centre linked to the main stadium block through a central plaza.

The Pink Stand is being presented as a welcoming space for women and families and will include dedicated facilities for women athletes and para-athletes, aligning with international standards. Harmanpreet Kaur contributed inputs to shape athlete-centric provisions and the naming recognises her role and the rising stature of women’s cricket in India.
