The Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) is advancing plans to redevelop the long-defunct shooting range in Nadarganj into the ₹197.28-crore Chandrashekhar Azad Shooting Range and Multi-Sports Complex. This initiative will be executed primarily through a public-private partnership (PPP) model, with the Construction & Design Services (C&DS) available as an alternative agency if needed. The complex will span 45.10 acres, with 36.85 acres designated for development. Located approximately 6 km from Amausi Airport and 14 km from Charbagh Railway Station, the site is strategically positioned but currently suffers from poor connectivity. LMC plans to submit the project proposal to the Urban Challenge Fund to secure a 25% government grant, with expectations that the state government will cover a substantial portion of the costs. The facility has been criticized for its deteriorating state since its construction over a decade ago, having been used only sporadically for police training. The LMC is now seeking state government approval to move forward with the redevelopment.
