Omaxe has won the bid to develop the facility on 50.40 acres of land, offering to pay Rs 18 crore to the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) every year for 30 years.

The proposed stadium at the project, Omaxe State, will have a seating capacity of over 30,000 and conform to the standards of the International Cricket Council and FIFA, Goel said. There will also be an international multi-sports indoor stadium that could accommodate 2,000 spectators.

A key stand at the cricket stadium will be named after Harmanpreet Kaur, Captain of the Indian Women’s Cricket Team.

“We onboarded her even before the World Cup win because we believed in what she stands for. We are introducing the Pink Stand for women with a capacity of 1500+, to make stadiums more inclusive. We have also welcomed her inputs on facilities that are still hard to find in Indian stadiums, such as separate facilities for women athletes. The stadium is designed keeping in mind India’s long-term ambition of hosting international sporting events such as the Olympics, FIFA tournaments, Paralympics and Commonwealth Games,” said Mohit Goel, MD Omaxe said.

The Harmanpreet Kaur Stand, also the Pink Stand, will be located in the North (Pavilion) Lower Bowl and will have a total of 1,500 seats.

“Cricket has given me so much over the years and this recognition makes the journey even more meaningful. It is wonderful to see women’s cricket being recognised in such a meaningful way, and I hope this stadium inspires many young athletes to pursue sports with passion,” said Harmanpreet Kaur.

The project is designed as India’s first 5-in-1 destination and aims to brings together sports, retail, hospitality, food, and social spaces within a single master plan. Positioned as a major destination for the National Capital Region, the stadium has been developed in partnership with DDA.

Aligned with international sporting standards, the stadium will also include dedicated dressing rooms, washrooms, and support facilities for women and para-athletes. The stadium will also feature premium amenities such as an infinity pool overlooking the stadium, café spaces, co-working areas, and dormitory facilities for student players participating in competitions. Omaxe is also introducing quick-dry technology to allow faster recovery of the playing field especially during the monsoon season.

Beyond the stadium, The Omaxe State is being developed as a fully integrated sports and lifestyle ecosystem where sport, retail, hospitality, and public life interact seamlessly. The approved project includes a 55,000 sq.mt. stadium block and a 30,000 sq.mt. indoor-outdoorsports centre connected through a large central plaza.

The retail component spans over 48,000 sq.mt. and includes high-street shopping, anchor stores, a multiplex, and food and beverage outlets.
