Infrastructure and design: The project is organised into three areas: the stadium, public amenities and common utilities, and infrastructure and environmental facilities.
The south pavilion rises to ground plus three floors, while the east and west stands are ground plus one. The south pavilion is dedicated to players, with a fitness centre, team briefing rooms, changing rooms and lockers, dining facilities and 40 corporate boxes. The north pavilion houses the media and broadcast centre, set in a glass damru-shaped structure.
The main field has nine pitches and the practice ground has five. The common utilities area includes the DG room, substation, HT and RMU rooms, underground tanks, STP, watchtower and security cabins, along with external roads and soft and hard landscaping. Parking for 1,500 cars is planned within the site.

Environmental sustainability
The project is designed to achieve IGBC green building certification through a holistic approach to water use, waste handling and energy efficiency.
- Rainwater harvesting: collects rainwater to conserve water, recharge groundwater and reduce reliance on external supply.
- Wastewater management: water segregation, treated-water recycling and composting to minimise drainage.
- Landscaping: extensive green spaces, with around 1,020 trees to be planted.
- Energy efficiency: sensor-based LED lighting throughout.
Economic and social impact
- Employment: direct and indirect jobs during construction and operation.
- Tourism and local economy: international and domestic matches will draw visitors and support hotels, transport and local businesses.
- Community engagement: grassroots programmes, cricket academies and local tournaments to grow the game.
Egis: integrated services for efficient stadium delivery
- Quality management: adhered to NBC and ICC quality standards, building stakeholder confidence through consistent practices.
- Cost control: applied advanced budgeting and close expense monitoring, enabling timely financial adjustments.
- Value engineering: led collaborative sessions to find cost savings while maintaining high standards.
- Risk management: established a comprehensive risk framework to identify challenges early and minimise disruption.
- Management information system: used digital tools for real-time data and analytics, improving communication and decision-making.
- Sustainability: prioritised environmentally sustainable practices aligned with community and environmental goals.
