This upgrade is more than a technological advancement—it is a symbol of progress, excellence, and India’s ambition to lead in sports infrastructure. By pioneering this revolutionary transformation, Bajaj Lighting reaffirms Wankhede’s status as a premier cricketing venue while championing sustainability and innovation.
