Overview
- In a new statement, the BWF said it engaged players and teams during the India Open to review conditions at the Indira Gandhi Sports Complex.
- The body cited seasonal haze and cold affecting indoor air quality and temperature but maintained the venue meets its requirements.
- Officials called the move from KD Jadhav Stadium an upgrade, noting improved space, flooring, gym and medical facilities.
- The BWF said feedback from this week will guide further upgrades before August and indicated seasonal issues should be less severe then.
