Pimpri-Chinchwad, Maharashtra. Box cricket has arrived in Pimpri-Chinchwad 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 Pimpri-Chinchwad conditions.
Pimpri-Chinchwad sits in a moderate plateau climate: a mild climate for most of the year, rain in steady spells rather than storms. Pimpri-Chinchwad weather lets a box cricket ground run more hours than almost anywhere, so the turf takes more balls and the nets more hits. We specify the heavier Garware cord for high-traffic boxes here and the full 35 mm hybrid pile.
In Pimpri-Chinchwad most of the enquiries we see come from Wakad, Ravet, Nigdi and Moshi, though the crews go anywhere in the district.
What we supply.
| Component | Specification |
|---|---|
| Turf | 35 mm hybrid turf, cricket-first bounce with a football-ready cushion, sand-dressed |
| Nets | Garware knotless netting; 3 mm cord for ball-stop and side walls, 2.5 mm for roof, 1.6 mm for boundary runs; 40 or 50 mm mesh |
| Structure | Hot-dip galvanised posts and cross-cables, foundations sized for local wind |
| Base | Compacted aggregate to falls, perimeter drainage, edge kerb |
| Lighting | LED on the net posts, sized for evening play |
The turf is on the hybrid turf page and the netting on sports nets. Costs follow the football turf cost guide with a taller net enclosure in place of fencing.

Questions, asked often.
What does a box cricket ground cost in Pimpri-Chinchwad?
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 Pimpri-Chinchwad is 1 to 2 days from Surat.
Can the same ground be used for football in Pimpri-Chinchwad?
Yes. The 35 mm hybrid turf is built for both. We mark both sets of lines, and most Pimpri-Chinchwad 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 Pimpri-Chinchwad 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 Pimpri-Chinchwad buy nets and turf from us and do the civil work themselves.
