Lloyds Engineering Works Limited (LEWL) has secured a contract from the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) to develop a cricket museum at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. The project, valued at Rs. 15.39 crores, is scheduled for completion within three months. This marks LEWL’s expansion into the experiential infrastructure segment, moving beyond traditional construction to develop themed and interactive environments.
The planned Sharad Pawar Museum will be located within Wankhede Stadium, a venue synonymous with Indian cricket history. The museum will present a curated narrative of Mumbai’s longstanding connection with cricket and the significant contributions of the Mumbai Cricket Association to the sport at both national and international levels.
Designed to be more than a static display, the museum will integrate a variety of interactive and educational features. Visitors will be able to explore a heritage gallery featuring historic memorabilia—such as trophies, photographs, jerseys, and personal belongings of Mumbai cricket legends. A Hall of Fame will recognize the achievements of players, coaches, and administrators associated with Mumbai cricket.
Interactive zones will offer digital experiences including virtual reality batting simulators and holographic match replays, providing a modern and engaging way to relive key moments in cricket history. The museum will also include touchscreen displays that allow deeper exploration into data and stories from Mumbai cricket.
A learning centre within the museum will support research and training activities, particularly for students, analysts, and aspiring cricketers. In addition, a multipurpose auditorium will host screenings, lectures, and cricket-themed events, making the space adaptable for various educational and cultural activities.
