The first stage of the project is set to be ready by 2026, while the investment and business component will be completed in 2028, and the rest of the project will be completed in 2031.

The Project envisages the construction of state of the art sports complexes which include international standard facilities comprising of a PGA approved 18-hole golf course, PGA Golf Academy, sports clubs, clinics and other academies, as well as residential, commercial, and leisure facilities along with necessary infrastructural support.
