This section highlights the key stakeholders driving Transport & Sports Infrastructure activities in the North Zone during FY 2024-25. It further focuses on major project owners and top contractors leading significant regional developments.
In the South Zone, a mix of government-led and consultancy-driven initiatives shaped the infrastructure landscape. The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) and the Sports Development Authority of Tamil Nadu (SDAT) spearheaded sports-related developments with moderate project values. Meanwhile, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) drove large-scale aviation infrastructure with over 2.7 Million-SqFt of construction area. Notably, Aarvee Associates had been engaged as a consultant for DPR and feasibility studies. The firm thus guided large-scale transport infrastructure initiatives in the South Zone.
Notably, during FY 2024–25, the South Zone recorded a surge in large-scale infrastructure developments, with several projects crossing the 1,500 INR-Crore investment mark. Transport infrastructure remained at the forefront, led by the SWR Railway Terminal at Devanahalli and the Bangalore Metro Phase 2 Extension, both commanding construction costs of 2,500 INR-Crore each. Urban rail also attracted significant investments, with the KRIDE Bengaluru Suburban Rail Project valued at 1,620 INR-Crore. In addition, the Bangalore Metro Phase 3A was pegged at 1,500 INR-Crore, further strengthening the region’s urban mobility framework. Beyond transport, sports infrastructure gained traction through the ACA Cricket Stadium in Amaravati. The project was budgeted at 800 INR-Crore, underlining the region’s balanced approach to mobility and recreational facilities.
B. CENTRAL ZONE
In the last financial year, Biltrax tracked 7 Transport & Sports projects in the Central Zone through its BX-1 platform, worth an estimated construction cost of 185 INR-Crore.
Segment-wise Construction Overview of the Central Zone
(Based on Construction Value)*
Of the total projects tracked by BX-1 in the Central Zone during FY 2024–25, Chhattisgarh registered the highest construction value, comprising 3 projects with a combined construction cost of 102 INR-Crore. These accounted for 55.14% of the region’s total. The projects included the development of Sports Facilities, Bus Depots, and other key urban transport & sports infrastructure upgrades. Of the 7 Transport and Sports Infrastructure projects mapped in the Central Zone, 6 were early-stage developments, while the remaining 1 is currently in the implementation stage.
| Sr. No. | State | Project Nos. | Construction Value (INR-Crore) |
| 1 | Chattisgarh | 3 | 102 |
| 2 | Madhya Pradesh | 4 | 83 |
| Total | 7 | 185 |
Key Stakeholders in the Central Zone
(Major Project Owners, Top General Turnkey/Civil Works Contractors)*
In the Central Zone, Madhya Pradesh Police Housing & Infrastructure Development Corporation (MPPHC) and Sanjana Construction were actively involved, with two projects each valued at 47 INR-Crore. In contrast, Dee Vee Projects Limited stood out with a single but larger project worth 83 INR-Crore. This project is the NRANVP Sports Complex Phase-I in Nava Raipur, spearheaded by the Naya Raipur Development Authority. Dee Vee Projects is serving as the contractor, while LEA Associates South Asia Private Limited has been appointed in dual roles as both consultant and design architect, with a focus on environmental engineering and architectural design. The project showcases a collaborative approach by combining government ownership, private contracting expertise, and specialized consultancy inputs to deliver a landmark sports infrastructure facility in the region.

Key Stakeholders in the Northeast Zone
(Major Project Owners, Top General Turnkey/Civil Works Contractors)*
In the Northeast zone, infrastructure activities reflected a strong government push complemented by consultancy expertise. The Public Works (Building & NH) Department (PWD) Assam led the region with 12 projects worth 335 INR-Crore, spanning nearly 1.9 Million-SqFt of built-up area. Supporting this execution drive, Clean Slate Designs and Design Concepts, Gangtok, played key roles in DPR preparation, feasibility studies, and financial modelling. The firms are collectively managing projects valued at 100 INR-Crore with a modest construction footprint. This mix of government-led project delivery and consultancy-driven planning further underscored the zone’s balanced approach to infrastructure growth.
A key highlight during this period was that Assam was driving a strong push in sports infrastructure through the Public Works (Building & NH) Department (PWD) Assam. Notable projects include the upcoming PWD Sports Stadium in Kokrajhar, a mega facility of over 1.2 Million-SqFt, and the District Stadium in Udalguri spanning 170,000+ SqFt. Alongside these large-scale projects, multiple mini stadiums across Batadroba, Bijni, Majuli, and other towns are planned. Each of these will have approximately 50,000 SqFt. capacity.
The Indoor Stadium at Mangaldoi further diversifies the portfolio by focusing on indoor sports. This mix of mega and community-level projects reflects Assam’s vision of nurturing both elite and grassroots sports.
