Chandrashekhar Azad Shooting Range in Sarojini Nagar

project in planning

The project involves the redevelopment of the Chandrashekhar Azad Shooting Range located in Sarojini Nagar, Lucknow, under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model approved in principle by the Uttar Pradesh government. Spread across nearly 44 acres, the plan includes demolishing and reconstructing the outdated 25m and 50m ranges, upgrading other shooting facilities to modern standards, and developing additional infrastructure such as a hostel for trainees. The redevelopment, estimated at around ₹197.28 crore (US$21.7 million) as per the Detailed Project Report, will be carried out through a private partner selected by the Lucknow Development Authority, which will oversee construction, modernization, operation, and long-term maintenance. A portion of the land may also be utilized for commercial purposes to support the project’s financial viability, aiming to transform the deteriorated facility into a state-of-the-art sports complex in Uttar Pradesh.
