Overview
- The Karnataka Home Department has given the KSCA conditional permission to host IPL and international matches at Bengaluru’s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
- A government-appointed monitoring committee will oversee compliance in real time and retains the power to inspect, revise or withdraw the permission.
- Clearance depends on implementing Justice J. M. D’Cunha panel recommendations and securing independent structural verification, including NABL‑accredited assessments sought by the PWD.
- Authorities have not fixed the allowable crowd size, which will be decided only after safety works are completed and a fresh expert review is conducted.
- RCB has proposed installing 300–350 AI-enabled cameras and offered to fund the roughly ₹4.5 crore cost, while keeping contingency options open at venues such as Navi Mumbai, Raipur and Pune.
