Like most major cricket venues across India, the Narendra Modi Stadium boasts a world-class drainage setup. It features an advanced sub-soil drainage system capable of absorbing rainwater in under 30 minutes, significantly reducing weather-related match delays.
This cutting-edge system can handle up to 75mm of rainfall—three times more than standard drainage systems—and operates approximately 36 times faster than conventional methods. As a result, once the rain stops, the ground staff would need only about half an hour to get the field ready for play.
