Telangana is planning a major international cricket stadium as part of the ambitious Bharat Future City project near Mucherla in Rangareddy district.
The proposed venue is being envisioned as a world class, multipurpose sports and events facility, with officials reportedly exploring a site of around 100 acres.
Stadium Could Accommodate Over 1.32 Lakh Spectators
- According to reports, the proposed stadium could have a seating capacity of more than 1.32 lakh spectators. If completed with this capacity, it could surpass Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium and potentially become the world’s largest cricket stadium.
- However, the capacity and other technical specifications are still under consideration and have not been finalised.
More Than Just a Cricket Stadium
- The government is reportedly considering a multipurpose sports and entertainment complex, rather than a venue dedicated only to cricket.
- The broader concept could include facilities for Cricket, Football, Golf and other sports, along with spaces capable of hosting major entertainment and public events.
- The proposal is part of Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy’s broader vision to create world class sports infrastructure in Bharat Future City.
Foundation Stone May Be Laid in December
- Reports suggest that the government is examining suitable locations within Bharat Future City and that the foundation stone could potentially be laid in December 2026.
- The exact location, construction cost, final seating capacity and completion timeline are yet to be officially finalised.
Boost to Hyderabad’s Sports Infrastructure
- If developed, the stadium could significantly strengthen Hyderabad’s position as a destination for international cricket, major sporting events, entertainment programmes and sports tourism.
- The proposed facility would also form part of the larger Bharat Future City development, which is being planned as a major economic, technology, business and lifestyle hub.
What is currently known?
- Around 100 acres may be considered for the stadium and associated facilities.
- A capacity of over 1.32 lakh spectators has been reported as a proposal.
- The project is envisioned as a world class multipurpose sports facility.
- A December 2026 foundation stone is reportedly being considered.
- The exact location, cost and final design are not yet officially finalised.
- If the reported capacity is approved and constructed, Hyderabad could potentially get the world’s largest cricket stadium.
Bottom Line: The proposed Future City stadium could become one of Hyderabad’s biggest sporting infrastructure projects. However, the reported 1.32 lakh plus capacity and other specifications should currently be described as proposals, not confirmed final figures.
