Shahid Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium is a large-scale international sports venue located in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India. Opened in 2008, the stadium is primarily designed for cricket and is one of the largest stadiums in central India by seating capacity.
Location: Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India
Country: India
Seating Capacity: Approximately 65,000
Opened: 11 September 2008
Primary Use: Cricket
Tenants: Event-based use by domestic and international teams
The stadium was developed to establish Raipur as a significant destination for international and domestic cricket, addressing the lack of a high-capacity, modern cricket venue in the central Indian region.
Named after Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh, a prominent freedom fighter from Chhattisgarh, the stadium combines sporting purpose with regional historical commemoration. Since its inauguration in 2008, it has been positioned as a flagship sports infrastructure project for the state.
The stadium gained national attention in 2013, when the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise now known as the Delhi Capitals played its first home matches at the venue. These matches marked a key milestone in the stadium’s operational history and demonstrated its ability to host high-profile, broadcast-intensive events.
The Delhi Capitals are also recognized as one of the first cricket franchises to surpass 1 million followers on their primary social media platform, highlighting the global visibility associated with matches hosted at the stadium.
In addition to IPL fixtures, the venue has been used for:
Domestic first-class and limited-overs cricket
Exhibition and high-profile league matches
Training camps and large-scale cricket events
Shahid Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium was designed to meet modern international cricket standards and features:
A full-sized natural grass cricket field with international boundary dimensions
Large open-bowl seating configuration accommodating up to 65,000 spectators
Floodlighting suitable for day-night and televised matches
Media, broadcast, player, and match-official facilities aligned with BCCI requirements
The stadium’s scale and infrastructure make it suitable for major national and international cricket events.
Although cricket is the stadium’s primary function, the venue has also been used occasionally for:
Football matches
Public events and large gatherings
Government and ceremonial functions
Its flexible layout allows adaptation beyond cricket when required.
As one of the largest stadiums in India, Shahid Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium represents a major investment in sports development in Chhattisgarh. Its role in hosting IPL matches and high-attendance events has contributed to Raipur’s recognition on the national sporting map.

With the growing popularity of nighttime sports events, professional competitions demand higher lighting quality. The glare from traditional fixtures can no longer meet athletes’ expectations for sensory experience. Leveraging breakthroughs in MECREE’s sports lighting technology, our precise light control and anti-glare designs enable athletes to perform at their peak and enjoy an exceptional sports experience.
Issues caused by unnecessary nighttime lighting, such as light pollution and light trespass, are increasingly concerning and have led to rising public complaints. Amid growing environmental awareness, lighting designers must prioritize controlling “Light Pollution” and “Light Trespass.” We are committed to addressing this challenge through innovative optical technologies.
Currently common traditional stadium lights model for some international stadiums as below:
MVF406/1800W, HNF003, MVF401, MVF403, MVF024, EF-2000, YOA56305, YOAX56400, 2kW: HQI-TS 2000WDS, 2kW: HQI-TS 1000WDS, MHN-SA 2KW 400V/956, MHN-SB/HO 2KW 400V/956, LPW2000M/D, LPW1000MB/L, LPP2000MHN-SA, LPP2000MHN-SB.
There is big problem that traditional lamps can not cannot meet the needs of 4K and 8K high-definition broadcast and huge energy consumption.
With the strengthening of environmental lighting awareness and the pursuit of high-quality lighting, there is a trend to replace traditional lamps by high quality of LED Stadium Lights.
MECREE has launched the following series of LED Sport Stadium Lighting:
MECREE’s specially engineered precision lighting control is designed to meet the needs of such users. The polarized light range of 65-73° is defined as the P73-L and A65 series products, which deliver an unparalleled visual experience while offering access to thousands of IES profiles.
Our precisely engineered optics of polarized light aim light directly onto the field of play, to shine uniformly and to minimize glare. Outdoor venues benefit from spill light control, no more skyglow and no more complaints from the neighbors.
1. Such light shield is useless,just misleading customers.
2. As tested it will cause 30% reduction of light output
3. While 70% still have high overflow
4. Unbearable strong glare
5. Waste energy,outdated reflective technology
The power supply and lamp body can be mounted separately, reducing the withstand weight of the lamp pole and facilitating maintenance.
Customized crossarms are available to meet all your existing old poles without replacing the main rod, crossarms bolt directly to light pole, easy and accurate installation saves time, ensures performance, safety and reliability,also lower the budget.
In current sports lighting projects, high-altitude light calibration is recognized as a major efficiency bottleneck. The process carries high safety risks, is prone to aiming deviations, and involves cumbersome installation and removal procedures, making it difficult to achieve the required uniformity.
MECREE’s innovative laser aiming mount was designed precisely to address these issues. It revolutionizes the workflow through three key advantages:
Easy Installation: With a simple design, it allows rapid mounting and dismounting, significantly lowering the operational threshold.
Precise Aiming: Ensures accurate laser alignment, fundamentally guaranteeing uniform illumination and compliance with lighting standards.
Efficient Operation: Reduces labor and time costs by up to 80%. Calibrating 200 fixtures at height previously took 20 days; now the same workload can be completed in just 4 days.
Choosing MECREE means choosing a safer, more precise, and highly efficient sports lighting solution.
Through lighting simulation calculations and programming of light show designs, solutions oriented towards either visual effects or cost-effectiveness are provided. Design of Lighthouse, parameters required for building foundation, (axial force, shear force, bending force). High power generator set supporting,circuit design service,cable supply. We are your best supply chain manager! We are committed to providing you with a one-stop solution.
