According to reports by Indian Express, the renovation of the Delhi Stadium will be worth Rs 20-25 crore for the five matches it will host during the ODI World Cup in October-November.
The venue faced severe criticism due to its unsanitary toilets on the stadium premises. Delhi was chosen as one of the five venues selected for a major redevelopment ahead of the World Cup.

“We thank the BCCI for awarding us five games. We need to improve the infrastructure of the stadium to make it a pleasant experience for the fans and we will be focused on that before the mega event.”
