MCA Pune International Cricket Centre is an under construction cricket stadium in the city of Pune, Maharashtra. The stadium would come up in the Gahunje area of Mumbai-Pune Expressway near city. Once build, stadium would be the headquarter for Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) and home ground for the Maharashtra cricket team as well Sahara Pune Warriors. This will be a state-of-the-art modern stadium, which would be one of the best stadiums in India once built. The brand new Pune cricket stadium will be the home ground for the new IPL team Sahara Pune Warriors. If Built before March, 2011 Pune IPL team will play their all home matches at this stadium otherwise some of the matches will be shifted to Nagpur.
MCA has appointed Hopkins Architects to design a MCA Pune International Cricket Centre with 44,000 seat stadium in Pune just few hours from financial city Mumbai. Earlier, Jawahar Lal Nehru Stadium was being considered for refitting the stadium for the city of Pune, but as stadium was owned by Pune Municpal Corporation, conflict arosed which led the decision to built the brand new stadium for the city of Pune.
The cost of building the stadium would be around 300 Crore Rupees or $65 Million USD. The stadium would be built in the area of 125,000m2.
Sumedha Earth Movers commenced the levelling and excavation work on the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) international centre at Village Gahunje in 2009. The work is expected to be completed by mid 2011.
Although, Sahara says matches will be at MCA Pune, I don’t expect it to be ready before 2012 IPL. The way politicians have entered in cricket, everything is going at so slow pace. What you say ?
I think some of match should be played on nehru stadium as it is in center of pune it will be easy for punekars to watch&huge crowd will come&plz don’t shift matches to nagpur if mca stadium not build in time nehru stadium is good option.
Lets chear for the home team
We r gonna win
I saw the model of the stadium but could not see the parking spaces… Considering the car population in Pune. MCA should put aside adequate space for car parking
no matches cant be shifted 2 nagpur its not nagpur ipl

the stadium will be ready! it will be ready before time…
The Sahara owners are sending representatives frequently to check whether the construction is going as scheduled. Furthermore, the owners have a backup plan with the Nehru Stadium in case the MPIC is not completed on time. But currently, the construction work is going on as scheduled WITHOUT any delay.
All is well.
Thanx Sahara
