Commonwealth Games 2010 Games Village

The state-of-the-art Games Village is being developed by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA), an agency of the GNCTD and a delivery partner of the Commonwealth Games 2010, along the east bank of the River Yamuna. The site is located off the National Highway 24 adjacent to the Akshardham temple at the Noida intersection.

The Village is designed to translate traditional Indian hospitality into standards of comfort and excellence never seen before by participating teams. To be created at a cost of USD 230.7 million (including the Residential Zone), the Games Village will be spread over an area of 63.5 hectare (158.4 acre). It will have 14 blocks, 34 towers and 1,168 air-conditioned flats with attached toilets to comfortably accommodate 8,000 athletes and team officials. Work started in August 2007 and the Games Village will be ready by March 2010. Surrounded by a dense green natural cover, the Village will provide a relaxing and soothing environment for the athletes and officials.

Not only is the Games Village located within easy access of all competition and training venues, but it also lies in close proximity to some of Delhi’s well-known landmarks such as the Baha’i Temple, Humayun’s Tomb, Akshardham Temple, India Gate, etc.
