The Ghaziabad Municipal Corporation has prepared a proposal to develop a sports complex near Raj Nagar Extension (RNE). In this regard, a project plan has been sent to the state government for approval.

The project will have facilities to host about 30 different indoor sports complex, and is likely to cost about Rs 109 crore. The funds will be managed through the state Smart City Mission. Under the Smart City Mission, several cities in Uttar Pradesh, including Ghaziabad, are eligible to get a funding of Rs 250 crore for a period of five years. Ghaziabad has been selected for this mission besides Meerut, Ayodhya, Gorakhpur, Mathura Vrindavan, Firozabad and Shahjahanpur. 

The civic body has about 51,000 sq. mtrs. of land near Karhera rotary near RNE available. Once the project gets completed, it is expected to be maintained by private firms on a public-private partnership basis.

The sports complex will also have seating capacity for about 300 people and is estimated to be built in about two years once the final approval is obtained. The location is easily accessible from the nearby Hindon River Metro station, Hindon elevated road and the RNE Road. Moreover, the complex will have facilities for sports such as boxing, billiards, basketball, badminton, wrestling and wushu, among others.

There is also a proposal in the works for an international cricket stadium in Morti near Raj Nagar Extension, with a seating capacity for about 55,000.
