Overview

Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the world’s largest cricket stadium with a seating capacity of 132,000, hosted national and international events including ICC tournaments, IPL seasons, and high-profile concerts. 

Since 2019, Numeric had been the trusted power continuity partner for the stadium’s scale and complexity, deploying three-phase UPS systems across critical zones. The deployment was executed in close collaboration with Gujarat Cricket Association (the governing body of BCCI), L&T, STUP Consultant, and Reliance Industries Ltd., ensuring operational readiness, compliance, and seamless service delivery for marquee global events. 

Impact

UPS Deployed 14 systems (10–80 kVA) across critical stadium zones
Years of Association 6+ years
Notable Events Supported 2020 Namaste Trump Event, Coldplay Concert, ICC World Cup Final 2023, IPL 2021–2025

Challenges

Diverse Power Needs

Continuous surveillance, signage, and access control alongside high-demand event lighting and broadcast systems.

Extreme Surge Tolerance

Floodlights and broadcast equipment needed steady performance during power fluctuations.

High Stakes

Any power disruption could have affected global broadcasts, high-profile visits, spectator experience, and the venue’s credibility. 

Dynamic Source Switching

UPS had to maintain stable output while seamlessly transitioning between grid and generator. 

Space Limitations

Several critical zones offered limited installation space, requiring compact, high-performance UPS solutions.

Numeric’s Tailored Solution

Seamless Operation Across Varying Loads

UPS capacities were customized for each zone: AV & Lighting (Keor T); Control Rooms & VIP (Keor HPE); Ticketing & IT (HPi 33); CCTV & Edge Systems (HP MAX). 

Clean, Steady Power for Sensitive Loads

In-built isolation transformers in Keor T UPS ensured voltage stability and smooth operation of AV and lighting systems during critical events.

Fail-Safe Operations for Critical Zones

Parallel Redundant Systems (PRS) in Keor HPE safeguarded uninterrupted operation of broadcast control rooms and VIP areas, even if one unit failed. 

Space-Efficient Deployment

IGBT-based, transformer-integrated UPS minimized footprint in space-constrained areas such as terraces and media decks.

24/7 Service Support

Pre-event UPS health checks, 24×7 digitalized Customer Excellence Center, Virtual Remote Assistance, Trained Service Engineers across India, and AMC coverage ensured uninterrupted uptime for every event.
