Indore, Madhya Pradesh. Box cricket has arrived in Indore the way it arrived everywhere: one ground, a waiting list, and then five more. The ones that last are built on a proper base with a net system that survives a season of sixes.
Building for Indore conditions.
Indore sits in a hot inland climate: some of the highest afternoon temperatures in the country from March to June, then a strong monsoon. In Indore the summer is the constraint. A box runs on evening bookings from March to June, so the lighting is part of the build, and the turf needs UV-stable yarn. Garware nets on galvanised posts; a base with falls for the monsoon that follows.
In Indore most of the enquiries we see come from Vijay Nagar, Bypass Road and Rau, though the crews go anywhere in the district.

Questions, asked often.
What does a box cricket ground cost in Indore?
A 60 by 30 ft box with 35 mm hybrid turf, full Garware net enclosure and lights typically lands between ₹9 and ₹15 lakh, depending on the base and the net height. Freight to Indore is 2 days from Surat.
Can the same ground be used for football in Indore?
Yes. The 35 mm hybrid turf is built for both. We mark both sets of lines, and most Indore boxes sell football slots on weekday evenings and cricket on weekends.
How high should the nets be?
Side walls at 6 metres, with a roof net for a full enclosure. We size the posts and foundations for Indore wind loads rather than a generic spec.
Do you supply the nets alone?
Yes. Garware netting cut to your drawing, with posts and fittings if you want them. Contractors in Indore buy nets and turf from us and do the civil work themselves.
