Meanwhile, eight more stadiums are reportedly under construction and planned to be built. As for the monetisation, further details are awaited on how it would be implemented.
Four international cricket stadiums are already under construction for the confirmed stadium projects, in Gwalior, Rajgir, Udaipur and Amravati.
