It is believed that it was PM Modi's dream project. The company Larsen & Toubro (L&T) won the bid to become the principal contractor for the reconstruction. It's the same firm that had designed the Melbourne stadium. Larsen & Toubro won the bid because they were financially lowest and technically very correct in their plan.

The overall renovation of the stadium cost nearly around 7 billion rupees.

Motera stadium opening match will be between Asia XI and World XI in March 2020.

The Motera cricket stadium will displace Australia's Melbourne Cricket Ground as the world's biggest stadium, which has the seating capacity of 20,000 less than Sardar Patel Stadium.
