1.Executive Summary
Background
Sports India (SI), the implementation body under Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports (MYAS) currently
operates and maintains five stadiums in Delhi (i.e. Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Indira Gandhi Stadium, Dr.
Karni Singh Shooting Range, Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Swimming Pool Complex and Major Dhyan
Chand National Stadium).
SI intends to improve and upgrade existing sports infrastructure to world class standards and assess the
potential of developing other sports, allied and supporting commercial activities at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium
and Indira Gandhi Stadium on Public Private Partnership (PPP) basis.
SI has sought guidance from NITI Ayog to assess development activity at JLN Stadium with the primary
objectives stated below1:
► The stadium should address the needs of all sections of sports community
► The development should be financially self-sustainable
► The design should incorporate hostel / hotel / service apartment accommodation requirement for
players and coaches (3 to 5 star accommodation)
► The stadium should be able to accommodate a footfall of 20 lakh
► The stadium should be open and accessible to every strata of society
► Sporting facilities for senior athletes should not be affected during construction phase
► The design and operative mechanism of the stadium should encourage younger generation to use
the facilities
► The stadium should adhere to international standards of athletic events
Niti Aayog has appointed Ernst & Young LLP (hereafter referred to as “EY LLP” and consultant) to carry out
a Pre-Feasibility Study for Redevelopment of Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium (JLN Stadium) and Indira Gandhi
Stadium (IG Stadium) on PPP to achieve the objectives.
Existing Situation
Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium is located in Delhi. It is
developed over a land parcel of 100 acres with a
seating capacity of ~60,000. The stadium is designed
and constructed to meet international sports standards.
It is owned and managed by SI on behalf of Ministry of
Youth Affairs and Sports (MYAS).

Way forward
Based on the recommendations for development options, SI may take the proposal to bidding stage. As per
standard industry practice, a two stage bidding process shall be undertaken wherein the first phase is the
qualification stage to shortlist applicants based on technical and financial criteria. The second stage is the
bid stage wherein the Request for Proposal along with draft Concession Agreement is shared with the
shortlisted bidders to invite financial bid. The bidding parameter for selection of preferred bidder shall be
based on highest revenues share (the bidder offering highest per cent of total gross revenues from sports &
non-sports activities shall be selected).
Prior to floating the RFP documents, SI shall seek approval from the competent ministries (MYAS and
Ministry of Finance – Department of Economic Affairs).
An indicative timeline for the same is presented below:

track. The stadium incorporates two full size football grounds, one futsal ground and a small park for non-
sports activities. The main ground is used to host football sports events and futsal ground with synthetic pitch
has been constructed for small practice sessions and is used to train children below the age of 10-12 years.
JLN stadium also houses infrastructure for archery wherein dedicated space is allocated with high boundaries
and different target ranges. Other sports facilities, like badminton, basketball, lawn tennis and table tennis
facilities are located in close proximity to each other. Four volleyball outdoor courts are provided. Weightlifting
area has ample space for pre-workout on the ground floor and the practice area is located in the basement.
The stadium also provides hostel facility to athletes and campers within the complex with fitness center.

Sports Complex under PPP Mode
The primary source of revenue of the stadium is from users registered under the ‘Come and Play Scheme 4’
and renting out assets to national teams/ league franchises. Use of facilities for hosting events such as
concerts and other non-sports activities are also undertaken. SI has improved their level of service offerings
through online viewing and ease of booking of stadia for sporting events to enhance asset utilization.
Catchment Area
A review of leisure and sporting facilities in the catchment area and benchmarking principles indicate that
local or municipal recreation or sporting facilities have a primary catchment radius of approximately 5kms
and a secondary catchment radius of 10kms. Approximately 75% to 85% of users reside within a 5 km radius
while the remaining 15% to 25% come from areas within the 5km to 10km radius of the facility. Developing
a stadium with state of the art sports infrastructure will attract users from a much wider catchment area 5.
The catchment area is also influenced by a number of other factors, including range and quality of facilities
and services offered, natural and built barriers i.e. road connectivity, travel times and the availability of any
other competing facilities. Considering regional planning principles, it is common that facilities usually share
catchment areas, particularly secondary catchment area. The map below illustrates catchment area within 5
km, 10 km and 20 km influence zone of JLN Stadium.
Figure 2: JLN catchment area The major residential areas near the stadium
include Defence Colony, Sewa Nagar, Lodhi
Colony, Pragati Vihar and Kotla-
Mubarakpur. JLN is also closely located to
affluent market places such as Khan Market,
Khanna Market and Meherchand Market.

The Come & Play Scheme was initiated by SI at various stadium complex for optimum utilization of sports facilities in Delhi and across
the country. The scheme primarily focusses on encouraging local sports persons and sports enthusiasts with an opportunity to train
under SI coaches. The trainees are provided with playing arenas/non-consumable equipment such as field, track, tables, mats, etc. and
minimum inescapable consumables like balls, shuttle-cocks, etc. by SAI. However, trainees are required to bring sports equipment like
racquets, bats etc.

Stakeholder’s Perspective
It is imperative to identify major stakeholders of the project who would help define a vision for the
development.
A comprehensive stakeholder engagement would help identify the requirements of the sports fraternity and
accordingly design the facilities. This would also help achieve higher utilization of the infrastructure facilities.

SI intends to upgrade the current facility at JLN stadium into a world class sports stadium in terms of
infrastructure and utilization. Below are some of the key objectives which SI aims to achieve7.
„ The stadium should address the needs of all sections of sports community.
„ The development should be financially self-sustainable
„ The design should incorporate hostel / hotel / service apartment accommodation requirement for
players and coaches (3 to 5 star accommodation).
„ The stadium should be able to house a footfall with 20 lakh viewers
„ The stadium should be open and accessible to all classes of people/ strata of society
„ Sporting facilities for senior athletes should not be impacted during construction phase
„ The design and operative mechanism of the stadium should encourage younger generation to use
the facilities

3.Market Study
Market study is the most crucial aspect driving project conceptualization and feasibility assessment. It is
critical to understand the competitive assessment framework of the market in which the stadium is expected
to operate and expected footfall. The first key task for assessing potential development in these proposed
facilities is to determine the market demand for each offered sport as well as latent demand for new facilities.
This was undertaken through conducting a detailed site assessment and study the competitive developments
in the vicinity of the stadium. This section undertakes detailed assessment of competitive sports and retail
facilities in the vicinity of JLN stadium.

The assimilation of information was undertaken by consultant from information available in public domain through DDA website.
Page | 22
Pre - Feasibility Study for Redevelopment of Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium
Sports Complex under PPP Mode
A comparative analysis between JLN Stadium, Siri Fort and Saket Sports Complex was done on the following
parameters:
Notes:
1. Sporting facilities includes cricket, football, athletics, wrestling, weightlifting, cycling, shooting,
badminton, lawn tennis etc.
2. Non – Sports facilities include aerobics, yoga, recreational games such as bowling, virtual games etc.
The figure illustrates the gap in non-sport activities that other competing sport complexes offer to its users
ultimately leading to an enhanced sport experience with other allied recreational activities. Effective land
utilization of JLNS is significantly lower as compared to Siri fort and Saket that have demonstrated
substantially higher utilization owing to their small area and no. of users availing higher number of facilities.
The higher number of offering of these sport complexes have significantly mobilized the youth in catchment
area to inculcate these sports/recreational activities in their daily life and therefore, sport complexes are now
a hub of youth affairs.
Page | 23
Pre - Feasibility Study for Redevelopment of Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium
Sports Complex under PPP Mode
The land utilization ratio of Siri Fort is the highest as compared to the other two stadiums. It offers over 20
activities in less than 50% area of JLN.
B) User Profile
The primary survey conducted highlight that >70% % of users at JLN have an average annual income of 4 -
8 lakhs p.a., while for Siri Fort Sports and Saket Sports Complex is majority are high income group users.
C) Membership Options
The table compares the membership options available at the three stadiums.
JLN does not offer casual membership as well as corporate membership. This restricts the number of users
as compared to the other competing sports facilities. The minimum membership tenure is 1 year while the
other sports complex offer flexibility in defining the membership period. Also, the number of academies are
much lower as compared to Saket Sports Complex and Siri Fort Complex.

Sports stadiums and infrastructure remains the pride of the nation and become the much needed symbol of
constructive young India. These stadiums not only provide match playing venues but also becomes centers
of training and excellence in sports. Already with the training programme and come and play schemes, most
of the Sports India Stadiums extensively support sports in the country. Being the kind of large infrastructure
needed to host international events, maintaining these stadiums/ venues after the events are over or in
between events remains a challenge across the world. We have studied best practices in stadiums via-a –
vis Olympic & world cup requirements to host a match. For Olympic venues, Athletics and football stadiums
have been studied. World cup venues for football, the redevelopment plans after the events, the viability
plans for maintaining sports with an added product mix and stadiums fallen to disrepair & disuse due to lack
of foresight across many venues have all been studied to understand the life cycle of a stadium, the
international match holding capability and the much needed sustainability of the project via supporting
functions. A list of major sports international events which could be held in the stadium have also been

support infrastructure as enclosed in Annexure A.
In case of 400 FAR, the areas under the stands which have been identified for sports retail can also be
completely left vacant for international matches and set up as the built up area available is sufficient to
accommodate the component of retail and sports related commercial.

As a first step towards creation of a sports ecosystem Identification and utilization of the unused spaces
within the stadium complex was done for Sports related retail, commercial and relevant functions to ensure
footfall and generate revenues.
The floor area available under the stands is a potential area which is presently not being optimally utilized.
The entire premise of getting in maximum footfall also needs to include sports supporting activities like sports
retail with Decathlon, Nike, Adidas, local sports equipment & sports fitness retailers, fine dining and health &
nutrition based restaurants, food court, health cafes, workshops, sports club, Library, Museum, fitness Centre
and we work offices/ sports media offices for the entire complex to get activated with footfalls and as
spectators to the practicing athletes/ sports players.
Of the total floor plates available on each floor under the stands, the following table shows the area which
has been identified as areas which may be used for Sports retail and sports commercial purposes. The
maximum floor areas are available on the ground and first floor of the stadium.

A total of 29,000 Sq. Meters of Area under the stands has been identified as potentially leasable areas for
various sports related activities.
Delhi as a city lacks any avenues for Adventure sports or Endurance /Obstacle courses kind of training or
recreational facilities which are much in demand and people often travel to nearby states during weekends
and otherwise to avail the same experience. We have identified a set of 8 Sports Adventure zones which are
recreational in nature but still remain competitive in spirit. The idea is to generate the JLNS Adventure hub
as a weekend get away with Virtual Reality games, Go Karting tracks, Yoga- Zumba /Meditation, Zip lining,
Climb Central kind of activities which require more open areas and very little built infrastructure. In the
background of the stadium, surrounded by Elite Athletes, it is an ambience one cannot match. Getting the
footfalls for this and the sports clubs too may eventually lead to a wider pool of sports players, Athletes to
choose from.

To be designed/ planned as a support activity to the Sports Club or as an independent activity could be left
to the discretion of the developer. The prime purpose of introducing Sports retail/ food court within the entire
planning matrix is to charge and activate the sporting areas during the non-sports event days which tend to
go passive otherwise. Also a revenue generation and support to the maintenance of the sports infrastructure
could be looked at, based on the financial feasibility of the project. Chess club, Snooker, pool, Squash courts,
Tennis etc. could easily become a part of the program and lead to indirect increase of foot falls.
Studying some of the top sports Academies and Sports Universities across the world, a career in Sports
Journalism, coaching, sports medicine, sports Sciences, Research in the same field, nutrition, bio mechanics,
performance analysis etc. lacks in the country on a holistic level. Also to be included in the University
curriculum is a basic graduation/post-graduation course with highest applicable sports Quota in the country.
A compilation of top sports courses and Universities across the world and India is compiled below. Such a
program not just brings in revenues but also provides the much needed base resource for training coaches,
indigenous research, performance management, nutrition rehabilitation etc. both as career options in sports
as well as trained skillset in the sports sector of India
The Retail zone would be designed as per the commercial viability of the project and anticipating the
recreational and entertainment need of the residents, the zone could also include a shopping plaza/ arcade,
spa, salon, health and fitness equipment stores , and other recreation facilities which are sports centric or
relevant.
The retail sector could also could have a supermarket or hyper-mart, large grocery shops, shops selling
sports branded goods, consumer durable outlets, postal services, retail banks, fine dining restaurants or
popular food chains, Sports club, clinics, medical stores etc.

Being centrally located, there already exist many government / semi government offices in and around JLN
stadium. Scope Complex, IHC, NBCC and many other government and semi government departments have
been the area for decades and there is demand for more. Presently Income tax department already occupies
the 2nd floor of the JLN stadium. Similar Government department are expected to occupy the office sector
with substantial revenue generation.
Commercial offices
To infuse young India, young energy and sports into the DNA of the system, there are also collaborative
offices spaces like ‘We work’ set ups identified for the area. Also sports related media, publication, talent
hunt agencies, Sports events, studios are expected to be set up in the premises.
Residential zone
The residential zone is envisaged as one which is relevant to the activities taking place in the stadium
complex. A combination of Hostels, Service apartments and Hotels makes up the residential zone as
compared to typical housing of the government / private sector.
Hostels
Hostels are already a requirement due to the presence of sports academies, university, training camps and
coaching which takes place round the year. Elite Amateur Sports players in various disciplines could be
accommodated here during the training period. A 500-600 capacity hostel can be planned.
Service Apartments
1 BHK or 2 BHK service apartments could be constructed to accommodate athletes and coaches from
outside the country.
The stadium complex is envisaged as a hub of international sports events and also sports training. Apart
from local sports players and the elite athletes already training and staying in sports hostels, we anticipate
sports conferences and conventions taking place here apart from Sports performance and management
training. Players, coaches, sports officials, sports & fitness enthusiasts from across the country and world
are expected to travel here for recreational, matches and sports medicine, injury, rehabilitation and training
purposes. To accommodate the same, the component of Hotels, Hostels and Service apartments as
components add more to the program than a conventional housing set up. 1, 4 star hotel with 250 keys and
1, 3 star hotel with approximately 200 keys can be proposed.
Support infrastructure
Apart from the allied infrastructure such as parking ECS accommodation, waste and water management, this
section lists out the other support infrastructure for the sports component.
To start with the road sections; the main road leading up to the stadium complex and the parking should
cater to the influx of spectators in their numbers calculated individually as vehicular and pedestrians. For this
the road sections should be in adherence to the National building codes and the local byelaws, should be
appropriately marked with signage and markings that should be clearly visible in the night and day. A clear
and appropriate designing of the wide pavements meant to cater to the large number of spectators during
the sporting events is a must should be adhered to. A clear division of service lines such as power, storm
Page | 40
Pre - Feasibility Study for Redevelopment of Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium
Sports Complex under PPP Mode
water and sewer should be planned as per NBC and the local byelaws with appropriate provisions for easy
maintenance time to time.
Apart from the above, easy access for old and handicapped, benches, dustbins, ticket vending shelters
should be equally and appropriately distributed for a hassle free and smooth operations during any large
sporting event within the stadium complex.
The entire development is interspersed with large tracts of green spaces distinguished as green belts, visual
greens, and recreational greens. The zone is planned with amenities and utilities designed to conform to
internationally accepted standards, integrating latest technology, and addressing environmental concerns to
ensure quality sports facilities and quality of life.

The Mandala: The concept plan of the stadium complex development is derived from the symbol of Sri
Chakra or the primordial energy source out of which all creation emanates. A trinity of Gyan Shakti
(Knowledge), Ichcha Shakti (Will) and Kriya Shakti (Action) pertaining to sports , knowledge, education,
sciences, sports academies, sports university, competitions, training, performance management, coaching,
sporting events and excellence in sports is what this complete Mandala intents to complete in the sports life
cycle. The 8 petalled Mandala with its Centre being the source of energy represents the stadium at the Centre
with its 8 hubs created around the stadium supporting & augmenting the energy of Young India energy and
sports excellence. We can provide the best of facilities but they are built around human beings at the core.
To generate a sports culture which pulls in a wider pool of athletes, a wider pool of access as well as relevant
activities need to be curated. After all, talent does not differentiate between classes. To ensure the same,
the programme of the non-professional sports has been designed to bring in people across the strata of the
society. It caters to low income group as well as high income group without differentiating. These hubs create
environments which even through recreational sports keep the spirit of competition and excellence alive.
The Observing how parents of these future athletes in both IG & JLN stadium complexes spend time while
their wards train and practice, it makes sense to in some ways include them in the process as they remain
highly invested. It could be on the lines of skill based certification courses or workshops of short duration run
by National Institute of Sports.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Pre - Feasibility Study for Redevelopment of Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium
under PPP Mode
4.Financial Analysis
Project Structure
A wide spectrum of models have emerged in development and management of infrastructure facilities which
enable private sector participation through guided risk sharing mechanism in providing efficient level of
services. As per World Bank report on models in PPP, the project structuring vary from short-term simple
management contracts (with or without investment requirements), long-term and very complex BOT form, to
divestiture. These models vary mainly by:
Various states in India such as Gujarat and Rajasthan, have delineated the role of PPP in their sports policy
while other states such as Madhya Pradesh have already started development of sports cities via the PPP
mode. The sports policy of Haryana, a leading sporting state, defines in depth the need for development of
sports facilities when developing new commercial/ residential spaces. 9 Keeping in mind the need of
developing places for development and promotion of sports. Such provisions can have a long term impact
on improving the sports culture in every state. Timely planning and development of sports infrastructure
seems to the current problem. PPP as an enabler in sports infrastructure has been further discussed in
Annexure A.6.

sports facility and commercialization of the project commercial space. The objectives of the proposed model
involve the following:
► To upgrade current sports facilities and operate and maintain the facilities for 30 years as per
specified performance standards.
► Further additionally develop additional sporting facilities and operate and maintain these facilities for
30 years
► Develop, operate and maintain commercial areas as per applicable laws for [45 (30+15) - 60 (30+30)
yrs.].
► Sports SI facilities to be regulated by SI but operated and maintained by private sector
Given the current investment climate in India, the project structure has been widely used across various
infrastructure sector such as roads, power & transmission and airports wherein it provides the developer the
opportunity by entering into financing agreements with lenders and equity investors in the form of support
during the construction and operation phases. The supporting revenue returns realized from commercial
development shall be well accepted by developers/Investors. Hence it is recommended to adopt a similar
project structure for JLN stadium. The consultant further analyzed best international practices for evaluating
different project structures followed under PPP to implement and manage such infrastructure facilities. The
best international practices are covered in Annexure A.7.

Risk Allocation
Contractual structure are influenced by a number of factors. If the fundamentals of a PPP transaction are
well thought through, particularly in relation to risk allocation, it is possible to finance and execute such
transactions that represent value despite current challenges in funding and execution.
Cost and time overruns will largely be driven by the type of contract used and by the experience and
competency of the contractor. It is important that the contractual structure protects the public sector from the
financial consequence of delays in the delivery of proposed infrastructure. The various risks associated with
the different phases of the project life cycle and the mitigation strategies have been tabulated in table 32
below.

Key Stakeholders
As mentioned earlier, the proposed project structure clearly defines relationships between key project
stakeholders. The key stakeholders relevant to the project will be:
For the purpose of this analysis, it is assumed that the selected private partner (and therefore the project
SPV) will act as a main developer, i.e. the SPV will engage in development of the entire facility i.e. sports
facility and commercial establishments. Since a PPP project always entails that the private entity is best
suited to undertake the project; hereafter mentioned are the roles and responsibilities between SI and the
developer.

4 Collection of revenues √
Accordingly, financial analysis has been carried out to arrive at range of realizable premium after factoring in
the project cost and other applicable terms of the project. The principle followed in assessing the premium/
amount to be realized to SI is how much selected developer would be required from the project after meeting
all capital and operating expenses including debt service cost and after retaining an equity return of
approximately 18% from the project.
The financial analysis has been undertaken for proposed development plan options of 40 FAR and 400 FAR
as discussed in Section 4: Development options.
Area Statement
In order to suggest a suitable product mix, it has been kept in mind that the revenue potential for the
development should be maximum. On the basis of Master Plan for Delhi 2021, the following area statement
has been considered for analysis.

Key Assumptions
The financial analysis is based on set of assumptions and inputs from our analysis. These set of assumptions
are based on the secondary researches, industry benchmarks and EY’s experience of sector knowledge.
These sets of assumptions & inputs are given below:
Concession period
The concession period considered is 45 years for commercial development and 30 years for stadia’s
operation and maintenance which is inclusive of 24 months of construction period.
Cost inputs
The construction cost has been assumed on the basis of discussion and inputs as per the prevailing market
condition. Annual escalation rate is based on last ten years long term WPI index as published by GOI.

Ministry of Youth Affairs of Sports (MYAS) - The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports acts as the apex
government body for sports in India. It is primarily responsible for formulation of sports development
programmes, development of sports infrastructure in the country.
Sports India (SI) – SI is responsible to implement the objectives laid out by the MYAS. It releases funds
sanctioned by MYAS to NSFs and manage sports training and institution centers.
National Sports Federations (NSFs) – these are autonomous bodies responsible for promoting their
respective sports and organizing tournaments. These organizations are assisted by state and district sports
associations to meet the required goals and objectives. NSFs play at pivotal role in developing a sport with
their close association with base level authorities that promotes a sports right from school and village levels
up to the national level. The below figure illustrates sports ecosystem along with roles and responsibilities of
stakeholders.

4. Experience of Infrastructure
The analysis depicts the experience of current infrastructure at
JLNS. Since all the infrastructure was revamped during Common
Wealth games 2010, fair amount of the users think the current
facility is good in terms of infrastructure.

8. Willingness to pay
When asked about the increment in tariff of the facilities
majority of the users were comfortable in an increase less
than 5%. This points to fact that many users currently
coming to JLNS are price sensitive. While some of the
users were not concerned by the tariff increase, they would
still continue to use the facilities offered by JLNS.

It focuses on creation of high density mixed land use development in the influence zone of transit stations,
i.e. within the walking distance of (500-800 m) transit station or along the corridor in case the station spacing
is about 1km and advocates pedestrian trips to access various facilities such as shopping, entertainment and
work.
It also increases the accessibility of the transit stations by creating pedestrian and Non-Motorized Transport
(NMT) friendly infrastructure that benefits large number of people, thereby increasing the ridership of the
transit facility and improving the economic and financial viability of the system. Since the transit corridor has
mixed land-use, where the transit stations are either origin (housing) or destination (work), the corridor
experiencing peak hour traffic in both directions would optimize the use of the transit system

Delhi’s recent investments in Public Transport Systems which include a world class Metro System and a
planned BRT Network, Delhi has been unable to deliver efficient, comfortable and affordable mobility options
to its citizens. The current lack of connectivity, subsidized parking options as well as a lack of safety for
walkers, cyclists and women in the city has resulted in ever increasing number of private vehicles in the city.
Total vehicular emissions contribute to 70% of the air pollution in Delhi multiple respiratory ailments and
deaths. The objective of TOD is to restructure and redefine how a city works, lives and finds means of
recreation
Zone 1 : Intense Zone Zone 2: Standard TOD Zone Zone 3: TOD Transition Zone
Page | 67
Pre - Feasibility Study for Redevelopment of Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium

The development in TOD is categorized under 3 Zones namely intense, standard and transition zones within
300 M, 800 M and 2000 Meter radius from the Metro Stations
case of JLN stadium, Jangpura stadium open to the East Gate of the stadium and more than 50 % of the
area falls under the 500 Meter radius from the Metro station. From the JLN Metro station on the same Violet
line, the Zone of influence covers more than 50 % of the complex area under the 800 Meter radius zone.
Since there are no protected monuments amongst the 52 A.S.I enlisted monuments in the vicinity of the
stadium complex, full utilization of TOD norms should be applicable to JLN Stadium Complex. The TOD
policy in Delhi is under review presently and is presently being scrutinized on project basis as well.

The existing stadiums in Delhi NCR have also been studied with their facilities to understand in case of a
major international sports event, how JLN stadium could be placed.
A list of major sports international events which could be held in the stadium have also been identified along
with their requirements.
In case of 400 FAR, the areas under the stands which have been identified for sports retail can also be
completely left vacant for international matches and set up as the built up area available is sufficient to
accommodate the component of retail and sports related commercial.
Major sports disciplines and facilities have been identified which can be upgraded to bring sports training
courts like the Basketball, badminton, Table Tennis, Handball etc. can be played under international match
playing conditions.

Establishing a vision for redevelopment of any existing sports infrastructure shall typically address three key
questions.
What do we WANT?
This question deals with understanding the preliminary thoughts and ideas that lead to emergence of this
project concept. The thoughts at this stage are more focused towards building a “dream project” and
analyzing the international best practices to be brought into the current scenario. The stage brings in an
idealistic scenario which possible options. However it is important to study the operative environment by
adding realistic approach to the thought process, which leads us to our next question.
What do we NEED?
It is important to align our thought process of an “ideal stadium” with the current environment in which the
stadium operates. Development of a stadium or expanding the scope of an existing facility is related to many
factors like regulatory policies, political stability, market dynamics, usage patterns and many others. Thinking
of creating infrastructure in isolation or skipping any such factor may lead to ambiguity in successful results.
The final question relates to the extent we would want to explore the possible options. Every project faces
multiple constraints while structuring the options. These constraints could be financial, political, fundamental,
operational etc. in nature. Analysis of all the options considered at stage I, while creating our idea of an ideal
scenario should now be restricted to realistic and attainable options.
Addressing these questions will help us formularize a vision for this project and form a pragmatic approach
towards structuring of this report. The objective of this feasibility study is to outline the potential options for
increasing the utilization of this expansive and world-class infrastructure on a PPP mode. Methodology
proposed involves a combination of options including providing more facilities to the existing user groups
and/or targeting potential user groups for this facility. Another purpose of entering into a PPP to maximizing
both sustainable revenue, and ensuring access to citizens at large. However. It is a predetermined condition
for any options, to ensure that training and coaching for sportspersons with potential to contend for medals
at all levels shall continue unhindered. The prime motive is to unify sports with non-sports activities and
provide splendid experience to the sportspersons and other user groups involved.

The sports policy of most states is formed with the same objectives of `sports for all' and achieving 'excellence
in sports'. However, the micro aspects under various categories contribute towards the diversity in
performance by different states. However, over the last few years, sports industry has witnessed a
transformation at the back of factors like growing sophistication in infrastructure needs, increased visibility of
competitive sports, emergence of sports as a business proposition and proactive efforts of India to host
numerous mega sporting events. The launch of Khelo India initiative by the Government focusses on
developing sports infrastructure, encouraging a sporting culture through competitions and identifying and
nurturing young talent. However, there is a need for greater involvement of the private sector in sports
infrastructure development in India due to limitation of funds to develop and maintain the sports facilities as
well as lack of technical and management proficiency. There is a need for private funding, management,
skills and subsidies to further the national sports goals, as well as to develop a high potential and robust
domain with immense opportunities in the short and long term.
In developed economies, stadiums have been designed as multi-functional facilities which are capable of
hosting various sporting events, concerts and other types of entertainment as well. Such development have
resulted not only in effective utilization of facility, but also act as a catalyst for urban growth in the region.
Various states in India such as Gujarat and Rajasthan, have delineated the role of PPP in their sports policy
while other states such as Madhya Pradesh have already started development of sports cities via the PPP
mode. The sports policy of Haryana, a leading sporting state, defines in depth the need for development of
sports facilities when developing new commercial/residential spaces. 12 Keeping in mind the need of
developing places for development and promotion of sports. Such provisions can have a long term impact

on improving the sports culture in every state. Timely planning and development of sports infrastructure
seems to the current problem.
Favorable PPP policy and direction/incentive for PPP in sports from the central government: The Union
Budget 2016 focused on reviving PPP for infrastructure creation through action for ensuring improved
liquidity, easier credit rating mechanism, and boosting (Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and
Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs), further easing fund flows. In addition, the central government may
develop guidelines for PPP in sports policy for states to adopt and make available case studies of successful
implementation of PPP by states in India. The center may incentivize states to adopt PPP to spur
infrastructure creation by using the same as a criteria for allotment of national games.
Case study: Envisaging and defining the role of PPPs for sports infrastructure development in
Andhra Pradesh
On account of Andhra Pradesh being selected to host the national games 2018-19, the State Government
has enhanced the budget for development of sports infrastructure. The Government of Andhra Pradesh
expects to make an allocation of almost INR1,000 crore for developing stadia in difference districts. The
objective of using PPP for sports infrastructure development stems from the flexibility it allows the
government to focus entirely on recruiting top physical education trainers and coaches to train youth in
different sports activities while the private players focus on the revenue aspect.

The State Government believes taking up the PPP mode would allow for the incorporation of a provision
for setting up shopping complexes and other infrastructure in the stadium. This would not only help in
effective maintenance of the stadium but would also make the stadium self-sufficient in terms of revenue.
PPP initiative, private players would be allowed to open these facilities for the citizens on payment of fees
and the stadium can be put to use all year round, driving sporting culture. Once built, the stadium could
also double as a venue for business activities, annual general meeting, school games, sports functions,
regional games, music concerts, live performances, etc.

In a typical PPP structure, the project company may engage a subcontractor to operate and maintain those
facilities to enable the procuring authority to carry out its business at the facilities. However, this project is
unusual as the project company is also charged with running the day to day activities at the facilities in a way
that complements the procuring authority broader objective of facilitating and encouraging sport in Singapore.
Another unique element of the project relates to the fact that the project company not only receives a monthly
tariff in respect of the basic steady-state operation but is also incentivized to maximize the usage of the
facilities and ensure a vibrant calendar of events. These incentives come in the form of a sharing mechanism
with the authority in respect of third party revenues generated at the venues, whether through ticket sales,
venue hiring income, commercial rights income, car park charges or retail rental fees.
Key learnings
u Engaging multi-faceted participation of PPP Co. with global experience in operating and maintaining the
facility
u Freedom to PPP for design of facility
u Performance based revenue mechanism on construction and O&M activities
u Defect liability and deduction on payment mechanism for non-performance on O&M works
u Incentivize the PPP Co for maximizing the usage of the facility
u Promoting participation in sports activities through marketing major marquee events
u Exploiting commercial rights to maximize project revenue

Amsterdam ArenA
In the case of Amsterdam ArenA, due to the significant investment costs and the willingness of the City of
Amsterdam to delegate operational tasks to other parties, a public-private partnership was structured. The
vision of the Amsterdam ArenA’s stakeholders was to create a venue capable of hosting world class sporting
and non-sporting events, open seven days a week and with the potential to become like a second city center
of Amsterdam. AFC Ajax the football Club invested only in football-related development (its core business)
as it is the main tenant and the most important user of the ArenA. The stadium was leased to Ajax as an off-
balance way of financing with zero cash transactions. Eight major private companies, the so called
“founders”, invested in the project in exchange for sponsorship and exclusive hospitality rights for a ten year
period. The commercial partners became the first choice suppliers of different goods and services and they
all received the rights to a private sky lounge. However, they do not have any stake in the stadium ownership.
Key learnings
u The Government investment in the ArenA act as an catalyst to encourage urban renewal and growth in
the region
u Concession of the site was granted for a fairly low minimal price in order to lower the financial burden
u Government income generated through real estate project developed in the region in the subsequent
years
u AFC Ajax invested only in football related development as its main tenant and user of Arena
u Investment of commercial partners in exchange for sponsorship and exclusive hospitality rights for a ten
year period
u The earlier sale of the depositary receipts, or “certificates of share”
u Stadium tour and museum serving as an important revenue sources for the operator.
u The parking complex under the stadium, the Transferium, is owned and operated directly by the
Municipal Authority.

Perth Arena
The keystone event behind the decision to
build the Arena was the Hopman Cup tennis
tournament. However, to be successful, the
Arena hosts a range of other events. The
procurement options analyzed and identified
that for the stadium and sports precinct works
in package, a Design, Build, Finance and
Maintain (DBFM) model was undertaken to
best balance the control of project cost and risk
with the achievement of the project objectives,
and most likely to maximize value-for-money
(VFM) outcomes for the state. The state also
selected to make a capital contribution of 60% of the construction cost. Whereas, payment during the
operating phase is in the form of a Monthly Service Payment (MSP) calculated in accordance with the Project
Agreement and paid in arrears. The MSP covers the remainder of the construction costs, financing costs and
maintenance costs including lifecycle replacement. The MSP is subject to abatement in accordance with the
abatement regime set out in the Project Agreement. The state retains the responsibility, through the
appointment of a stadium operator, for the day-to-day operation of the stadium and sports precinct. The state
also retains ownership of the stadium and sports precinct.

Transstadia
The stadium has been developed with a
project cost ~INR 540 Cr on a land area of ~
10 acre. The stadium consists of
development of 16 sports & entertainment,
hospitality, retail etc. with an objective based
on "utilization model". The emphasis was on
to create a facility wherein each part will
contribute to the revenue. But this model
requires that the facility be situated within the
city. It is being developed on PPP model land
lease model with a concession period of 35
years, extendable for a further 35 years, with
two percent revenue sharing for sports development in the country. The Arena boasts of a FIFA standard
natural turf with a seating capacity of 20,000, including patented expertise that enables the conversion of a
section of the stadium into a 4,000 capacity pillar-less multi-purpose indoor venue, creating an optimum
spectator experience. Not only can the latter can be utilized for 12 indoor sports, it can further increase the
revenue by hosting exhibitions, social functions, conventions and corporate events. The facility also house a
'members only' Eka Club, which will become a fitness and entertainment hub for the city.
Key learning
u Use of technology for effective utilization of land which can be transformed in activity hub
u Use of space in non-sports activities are essential as they contribute to large scale revenue expectations
u Longer land lease concession period enable the PPP Co. to develop stable cash flow
u Membership program for non-sport activities such as club, fitness and entertainment hub to support
revenue potential for PPP Co.
u Marketing initiative such as leasing branding rights, major marquee events can promote sports facility
u Commercial sports activities through such as Pro-Kabaddi, sports retail brands are other potential
avenue of revenues.
