BCCI received additional 15 acres of land from Karnataka government for COE
The project has been in the pipeline for the last 12 years.
The BCCI has received an additional 15 acres of land from the Karnataka government for building a Centre of Excellence near the international airport in Bangalore. The total area of the facility will now be 40 acres. The BCCI had earlier completed a 25-acre deal with the state government back in the month of May. Today (September 1), the BCCI acting secretary Amitabh Choudhury has said that the Board has received another 15 acres to create a world class facility.
Choudhury thanked the Karnataka government on receiving the additional space. He also said that originally, the center was planned around Nandi hills but their focus on getting space allotted on Devanhalli aerospace park has been a success.
In the pipeline for the last 12 years
“For the last 12 years we had been waiting for a separate parcel of land for NCA and the BCCI had even paid 50 crore for this purpose way back in 2005,” said Choudhary. “While the original parcel of land was aimed at the Nandi Hills area, we this time around started focusing on Devanahalli aerospace park and I am happy to tell you that not only the first 25 acres were registered against the amount which had been paid by the BCCI 12 years ago.”
