India to Bid for Commonwealth Games 2030: IOA General Body to Give Approval During SGM on Wednesday

India’s bid to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games gains momentum after Canada’s withdrawal, with unanimous approval from the Indian Olympic Association and venue inspections underway.

  • During a Special General Meeting in New Delhi, the Indian Olympic Association on Wednesday approved India’s bid for the 2030 Commonwealth Games, designating Ahmedabad as host city.
  • Amid a broader Olympic strategy, Canada’s withdrawal from the 2030 host race brightened India’s chances, boosting its bid to host the 2036 Olympic Games.
  • Inspecting potential sites in Ahmedabad, Commonwealth Sport’s delegation led by Darren Hall examined venues and met Gujarat officials ahead of the August 31, 2025 deadline.
  • Following the approval, the General House unanimously endorsed India's bid, and IOA joint secretary Kalyan Chaubey said preparations would now proceed “full steam”.
  • The General Assembly of Commonwealth Sport will decide in the last week of November in Glasgow if India’s bid succeeds, potentially returning CWG to India since 2010.
