Vibrant Gujarat Summit: India To Make Olympics Bid In 2036, Says Mukesh Ambani. Check How Much to be Invested

Ahmedabad: So yes, India is going to bid for the 2036 Olympics. During the ongoing Vibrant Gujarat Summit, businessman Mukesh Ambani promised that India will finally bid for the 2036 Olympics. He also said that Reliance Industries will make major investments in Gujarat for the same.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had earlier during the 141st International Olympic Committee (IOC) Annual Session in Mumbai in October confirmed India’s bid for the 20236 Olympics.

“India is very excited to organise an Olympics. India will leave no stone unturned in our efforts to organise the 2036 Olympics. It’s a dream of 140 crore Indians. With the support of IOC, we would want to fulfil this dream.

“Sports is not just for winning medals but it is also the best way to win hearts. It not only gives rise to champions but also promotes peace,” Modi said during the event.

With a budget of Rs 6,000 crore, the Gujarat government will now try to make the dream a reality.

Six sports complexes will be built in Motera and surrounding areas.

“To realise Prime Minister Modi’s dream of hosting the Olympics in the country, we have drawn a master plan to develop the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Sports Enclave in Motera and surrounding areas spread across 350 acres. As per the plan submitted by a design firm selected earlier through an open bid, six sports complexes will be constructed in an area of 350 acres,” an official revealed.

“Firms selected through bidding will be responsible for preparing the layout of the entire area. They will also prepare a detailed structural as well as architectural design of these sports complexes. The company expects the construction of these sports complexes to be completed by 2030 so that India can pitch for the 2036 Olympics,” the official added.
