India Submits 2030 CWG Games Bid
The New Indian Express Bhubaneswar
|August 30, 2025
As the nation celebrates National Sports Day, India formally submitted the 2030 Commonwealth Games bid at the Commonwealth Sport (CS) office in London on Friday.
The delegation was led by Harsh Sanghavi, Minister, Sports, Government of Gujarat. Once again, as reported by this newspaper, like for the Olympics, Amdavad (not Ahmedabad) will be the host city.
This comes days after the Cabinet approved India's bid for the Games and the bid was submitted to the CS interim president Donald Rukare and was done in the presence of both Gujarat government and Commonwealth Games Association, India, members. What seems interesting is that the Cabinet had cleared Ahmedabad as the host city for the Centenary Games.
Besides the state sports minister, the delegates were Raghu Iyer CEO, IOA, Ashwini Kumar, Principle Secretary, Gujarat government, Harpal Singh, executive committee member of the IOA, and Pranshu Jain of Ernst & Young.
