NEW DELHI :India has submitted a bid to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games in Ahmedabad, hoping it will bolster its credentials to stage the 2036 Olympic Games, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) said.

An IOA delegation submitted the bid proposal at the Commonwealth Sport headquarters in London on Friday.

"This is not just a bid to stage a sporting event - it is our commitment to the Commonwealth family to deliver Games that are athlete-centred, inclusive, sustainable, and future-facing," IOA Executive Council member Harpal Singh said in a telephone call from London.

"Our vision is to use this milestone not only to honour the past but to set the stage for the future - ensuring the Games remain relevant, impactful and viable for the next century."
