30 Nov
Summary
- Ahmedabad aims for ₹3,000-5,000 crore operational cost for 2030 Games.
- Lessons learned from Delhi 2010 to avoid past mistakes.
- Organising Committee to be a not-for-profit company.
Ahmedabad is gearing up to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games, targeting an operational cost between ₹3,000 and ₹5,000 crore. Planners are drawing valuable lessons from the 2010 Delhi Games, which faced significant issues with cost overruns and controversies, ensuring a more transparent and well-managed event.
The proposed Organising Committee will operate as a not-for-profit company, a model that received recommendations after the 2010 Games and was successfully implemented in Melbourne in 2006. This structure aims to enhance financial oversight and accountability, with the committee expected to be established by the end of December or early January 2026.
This proactive planning signifies Ahmedabad's commitment to delivering a professional and successful Commonwealth Games. The committee will comprise 12 to 15 members, including key figures from sports bodies and independent experts, focusing on efficient execution for the anticipated October 2030 event.
