The Indian contingent for the Asian Games 2018 held in Jakarta and Palembeng earned the maximum medal count so far for any Indian contingent in Asian games- 69 medals in all. So a question comes to the mind as to whether India will try to host Asian games in coming years. Hosting such a big event like Asian games or Olympics could be tricky since huge infrastructure is required. In fact, some proposed that India bid for an Asian games a few years back but the central government turned down the proposal. But will we be having Asian Games in India again. And we could even have some alternatives to the venue of Delhi, which is highly crowded.

In the new capital Amaravathi CM is building a full fledged sports complex. Don't know when it will be completed, but I think he will make it possible some day. Hopefully by then we have other options as well.

@vsai2008 yes such a new built facility could be a better option for such a mega event.

I think apart from Delhi only Pune can host a big event like Asian games in India, since it has hosted similar other sporting events in the past. Mumbai do not have the infrastructure to host it

@gautaam during 1982 Asian games, water sports like rowing etc were conducted in Mumbai.
