Noida authority clears five facilities in sector-150 Sports City project

The Noida Authority has approved detailed maps for five sports facilities in the Sports City project. These facilities include a tennis centre, indoor multipurpose hall, swimming centre, and multipurpose playfield. Developers such as Prestige, County, Eldeco and Prateek are set to oversee the development. A cricket academy is already operational, adding to the sports infrastructure planned. Around 8,000 homebuyers have been anticipating this significant progress in the project.

The approved facilities include a tennis centre, an indoor multipurpose sports hall, a swimming centre and a multipurpose playfield, with Prestige, County, Eldeco and Prateek among the developers entrusted with their development, according to the official.

A cricket academy, proposed in the project, is already functional, he added.

The tennis centre, to be developed by Prestige, will spread over four acres and have six courts, including two championship courts with a pavilion, dressing and dining rooms and spectator seating. It will also have four practice courts, along with supporting facilities.

County has been approved to develop two facilities, each spread over 2.90 acres. The indoor multipurpose sports hall will accommodate gymnastics, table tennis, squash, badminton, basketball, volleyball and rock climbing, along with necessary support facilities.

The swimming centre will have a main pool measuring 25 metres by 50.05 metres, a 25-metre-by-25-metre practice pool and a diving pool of the same dimensions.

The 5.71-acre cricket academy, to be developed by Eldeco, will have a cricket field with a moat in accordance with International Cricket Council (ICC) standards, a pavilion, dressing and dining rooms, and residential accommodation for 60-70 boys and girls.

Prateek will develop a four-acre multipurpose playfield, the official said.

The approvals mark a further step towards the development of the Sports City project, which has remained stalled for years amid planning and regulatory hurdles. Around 8,000 homebuyers have been awaiting progress in the project.

Earlier, the authority had received a detailed proposal for the 330-acre Lotus Greens SC-02 Sports City project, with around 70 per cent of the approximately 300-acre Sports City layout earmarked for sports infrastructure. The proposed facilities included a tennis centre, indoor sports hall, swimming pools, a nine-hole golf course and putting green spread across 45.8 acres, along with a golf club and food and beverage facilities. Gaursons is the consortium member for the golf course, the official said.

The official said four Sports City projects were proposed in Noida about a decade ago, but only the one on Plot SC-02 in Sector 150, being developed by Lotus Greens as the lead consortium member, had received approval.

The layout was prepared by Skyline Architectural Consultant and vetted by the Sports Authority of India (SAI), he added.

The revised master layout plan for Plot SC-02, developed by Lotus Greens Constructions, had earlier received approval from the Authority. The Authority had also approved building plans for the plot and issued conditional occupancy certificates for four housing projects, according to officials.

The development process gained momentum following the Supreme Court's November 24, 2025, orders, after homebuyers had repeatedly sought the resumption of stalled construction.

"The Authority's latest approvals are expected to facilitate the development of the sports infrastructure planned as part of the project," the official said.
