It's Official: Ahmedabad Announced as Host City for Commonwealth Games 2030
The Commonwealth Games Federation has formally ratified Ahmedabad, Gujarat as the host for the 2030 Centenary Games. Here is the full timeline, budget, and what this means for India.
It is finally confirmed. On November 26, 2025, the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) formally ratified Ahmedabad as the host city for the 2030 Commonwealth Games.
This marks a historic milestone as India prepares to host the Centenary Edition (100th year) of the games, officially bringing the mega-event back to the country 20 years after Delhi 2010.
The Announcement: Key Details
- Host City: Ahmedabad & Gandhinagar (Twin City Model)
- Ratification Date: November 26, 2025
- Venue: Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Sports Enclave (SVPSE)
- Estimated Budget: ₹6,000 - ₹8,000 Crore (Initial Estimates)
Why Ahmedabad?
The bid, centered around the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Sports Enclave, promised a "Plug-and-Play" infrastructure model. Unlike previous hosts that required years of construction, Gujarat demonstrated that 80% of the venues (including the Narendra Modi Stadium) are either ready or in advanced stages of completion.
"India presented a compelling vision for the 2030 Games... enabling India to celebrate the centenary in style." — CGF Statement
