Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Hockey turf in Ahmedabad is an institutional build: sports authorities, universities, academies and the occasional stadium. The specification is set by FIH, and the difference between a Global and a National system is the difference between a water-based pitch and a sand-dressed one.
Building for Ahmedabad conditions.
Ahmedabad sits in a hot and dry climate: extreme dry heat from April to June, low rainfall, wind-blown dust for much of the year. Water is the issue for a Global pitch in Ahmedabad: the irrigation system and the water supply are as much of the design as the turf. A sand-dressed National pitch avoids it and suits most schools and academies here.
In Ahmedabad most of the enquiries we see come from Bopal, Shela, SP Ring Road, Bodakdev and Science City, though the crews go anywhere in the district.

Questions, asked often.
Which FIH category does a school in Ahmedabad need?
National. An 18 mm sand-dressed pitch plays at national competition level, needs no irrigation, and costs considerably less to build and run than a Global pitch.
What does an FIH hockey pitch cost in Ahmedabad?
It is a project quotation, not a per-sq-ft one: turf category, shock pad, irrigation if Global, base to FIH tolerance, drainage, fencing and lighting. Site visit first; delivery to Ahmedabad is next day from Surat.
Can the pitch be certified?
Yes. The systems are FIH-approved products, and the installed pitch can be field-tested for certification after handover if the venue requires it.
