The first project involves the construction of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Sports Complex in Karad, awarded by the Public Works Department (West), Satara. Valued at approximately ₹88.03 crore, this facility will include modern amenities to support various sports and training activities. The project is scheduled to be completed within 24 months, not counting potential delays during the monsoon season. The second and larger contract is for building a Divisional Sports Complex in Jalgaon, commissioned by the Divisional Sports Complex Committee. With a budget of about ₹244.31 crore, this expansive complex will be developed over 36 months (excluding monsoon periods) and is intended to provide comprehensive facilities for athletes and sports events at the divisional level.
According to Pradeep Khandagale, Chairman & Managing Director of Univastu India Ltd, these developments are envisioned as more than civil works — they are “an expression of India’s Olympic aspirations,” aimed at fostering sporting excellence, empowering local talent, and encouraging grassroots participation in sports. The facilities are expected to serve not only elite athletes but also young sportspeople and the wider community, helping build a stronger athletic ecosystem in the region.
Univastu India Ltd, headquartered in Pune and listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE), has steadily expanded its footprint in public infrastructure projects across Maharashtra and beyond. The company’s execution of these high-value sports projects demonstrates both its technical capability and the government’s commitment to improving sports infrastructure in smaller cities and districts
