The idea to reconstruct the stadium came just months before Modi was to move to New Delhi in 2014 to assume prime ministership. Motera Stadium is owned by the Gujarat Cricket Association, which both Modi and Amit Shah have headed in the past - in 2009 and 2015, respectively.
The Motera stadium has been awarded the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) Gold Green Building rating. It has gained the distinction of being not only the largest cricket stadium ever built, but also India's first green-rated cricket stadium.
