India's federal government has greenlit a bid to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games in Ahmedabad, a move designed to bolster local businesses and inspire future athletes. The ambitious project is part of India's larger goal to host the 2036 Olympic Games.
Approved by the cabinet, most events are expected to be held at the Narendra Modi Stadium, with necessary agreements and financial support laid out.
