Finance Minister Kanu Desai: Ahmedabad is set to be transformed into an “Olympic Ready City” after the Gujarat government earmarked Rs 1,278 crore in the 2026–27 State Budget, following the state’s successful bid to host the Commonwealth Games in 2030.

Presenting the budget in the state Assembly, Finance Minister Kanu Desai outlined a series of investments aimed at strengthening sports infrastructure and urban facilities in preparation for the international event.

The allocation forms part of a broader effort to position Gujarat as a global sporting destination and to upgrade Ahmedabad’s infrastructure to meet international standards required for hosting major multi-sport events.
