The Howrah Indoor Stadium is a multi-purpose indoor stadium located at Dumurjala, Howrah, West Bengal, India. It is the only indoor stadium in Howrah district, designed as a venue for indoor sports, cultural events and other programs.
In the 1980s the stadium was made on the margin of Dumurjala, a neighborhood of Santragachi, Shibpur and Ramrajatala, by Howrah Improvement Trust. Based on the line of Netaji Indoor Stadium, Kolkata, it was originally planned for indoor sports activities. After the construction, only two state-level indoor matches were organized. Then defects in the construction of the galleries and floor came to the forefront. After that Howrah Municipal Corporation took the stadium and started using it for commercial needs.[2]
In 2018, West Bengal Housing Infrastructure Development Corporation (HIDCO) planned Dumurjala Sports City. A meeting was held in Howrah among state Urban Development minister Firhad Hakim, Mayor Rathin Chakraborty and Debashis Sen, chairman, HIDCO, along with senior officials of HMC at HIDCO.[3] The meeting stated Dumurjala Stadium to be rebuilt and more developed to meet the state level.[4]
