P.V. Sindhu Launches Non-Profit High-Performance Sports Campus in Visakhapatnam

State officials have joined the project signaling a push to build an integrated sports-and-education campus with a target opening in May 2028.

Overview

  • The public launch introduced the P.V. Sindhu Centre for Sports Excellence as a non-profit project led by Sindhu with formal participation from Andhra Pradesh ministers and state partners.
  • The nearly two-lakh-square-foot campus is planned as a multi-sport, high-performance ecosystem that will combine seven disciplines with coaching, sports science, recovery, strength and conditioning, and an on-site school.
  • Construction is active on the Visakhapatnam site with the basement and substructure complete and the superstructure taking shape as project teams aim to welcome the first athletes and students by May 2028.
  • Sindhu has pledged most of her career earnings to the centre and publicly appealed for corporate CSR and philanthropic support while officials said the state will partner on delivery and operations.
  • Project leaders say the design was informed by global high-performance models such as Aspetar and the Inspire Institute and they expect the centre to boost talent development, research links, and Visakhapatnam's profile as a sports destination.
