Overview
- KSCA said the government has permitted matches at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium subject to strict terms, ongoing inspections and the right to revise or withdraw approval if compliance falls short.
- The number of spectators allowed will be fixed only after all prescribed works are completed and a fresh expert committee review determines safe capacity.
- Cricket at the venue was halted after the June 4, 2025 stampede that killed 11 people, and a judicial inquiry deemed the stadium unsafe for large-scale events.
- RCB has proposed installing 300–350 AI-enabled cameras with technology partner Staqu and has committed about ₹4.5 crore to fund the one-time cost to strengthen crowd management.
- KSCA has submitted a compliance roadmap under its new administration, and while RCB explored neutral venues such as Navi Mumbai, Raipur and Pune, any relocation plans remain contingent on final safety clearances.
