Noida Sports City: Authority Approves Sector 150 Facility Maps for Five Sports Venues

The Noida Authority has cleared detailed maps for five planned sports facilities in the Sports City project. The site is on Plot SC-02 in Sector 150. An official said the move should help restart work after years of delays. Around 8,000 homebuyers have been waiting for visible progress on the long-stalled development.

According to the official, the approved facilities are a tennis centre, an indoor multipurpose sports hall, a swimming centre and a multipurpose playfield. Prestige, County, Eldeco and Prateek have been assigned development roles for different parts. A cricket academy is already operating at the project site, the official added.

Noida Authority approvals for Sports City facilities

Prestige will build the tennis centre across four acres. The plan includes six courts in total. Two are championship courts with a pavilion. The design also provides dressing rooms, dining rooms and spectator seating. Four practice courts are planned as well, along with other support facilities.

County has approval for two facilities, each covering 2.90 acres. The indoor multipurpose sports hall will host gymnastics and table tennis. It will also include squash, badminton, basketball and volleyball. Rock climbing is part of the plan. The maps also include required support areas for users and staff.

The second County facility is the swimming centre. The main pool is planned at 25 metres by 50.05 metres. A practice pool will measure 25 metres by 25 metres. A diving pool of the same size is also included. The official said the maps covered related amenities needed for operations and safety.

Sports City project plan and stalled progress

Eldeco is responsible for the 5.71-acre cricket academy. The plan includes a cricket field with a moat. The design follows International Cricket Council ICC standards. It also includes a pavilion, plus dressing and dining rooms. Residential space for 60-70 boys and girls is part of the proposal.

Prateek will develop a four-acre multipurpose playfield, the official said. The latest approvals are described as another step for the wider Sports City project. Officials noted the project had stayed stuck for years. Planning and regulatory issues slowed progress. Homebuyers have continued to raise concerns during the delay.

Earlier, the authority received a detailed proposal for the 330-acre Lotus Greens SC-02 Sports City project. Officials said about 70 per cent of the layout is set aside for sports infrastructure. The list includes a nine-hole golf course and putting green across 45.8 acres. A golf club and food and beverage facilities are also proposed.

Sports City layout, consortium roles and earlier clearances

Gaursons is the consortium member for the golf course, the official said. The official also said four Sports City projects were announced in Noida about a decade ago. Only the project on Plot SC-02 in Sector 150 got approval. Lotus Greens is the lead consortium member for this project.

The layout was prepared by Skyline Architectural Consultant, the official said. The Sports Authority of India SAI vetted the plan, the official added. Officials also said the revised master layout plan for Plot SC-02 was earlier approved. The Authority approved building plans too. Conditional occupancy certificates were issued for four housing projects.

Officials said momentum improved after the Supreme Courts November 24, 2025, orders. Homebuyers had repeatedly asked for stalled construction to restart. The official said the latest approvals should support delivery of the sports infrastructure planned for the site. The projects progress now depends on execution against the approved maps.
