The final blueprint, accessed by TOI, reveals estimated costs involved in bringing the sporting spectacle to the twin cities of Gujarat and four other cities -- namely Bhopal, Goa, Mumbai and Pune -- placing the potential expenditure in the context of previous Olympic Games editions.
The maximum estimated OCOG budget for Ahmedabad exceeds even that of Paris 2024, indicating the scale of ambition. However, the review notes that there is “good potential to optimise cost budget” for the Games in Ahmedabad.
