Pune, June 2025: In a landmark move blending innovation, performance, and sustainability, Bajaj Lighting has successfully upgraded the iconic Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) Stadium in Gahunje, Pune with next-generation LED floodlighting. This is more than an infrastructure enhancement—it’s a bold statement of India’s readiness to set global standards in sports lighting and broadcast excellence.

The transformation features Blaster LEDs, Bajaj Lighting’s cutting-edge floodlighting system engineered to deliver uniform, glare-free illumination across the playing field. Designed for international sporting standards, the lighting system promises not just superior visibility, but an immersive experience for athletes, stadium audiences, and millions of viewers tuning in around the world.
“This project reflects our unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries,” said Rajesh Naik, COO – Bajaj Lighting Solutions. “At Bajaj Lighting, we believe illumination should inspire and empower. With the MCA Stadium, we’ve not only delivered world-class lighting but also laid the foundation for the future of Indian sporting venues—where technology, sustainability, and performance converge.”

Built to meet ICC specifications, the upgraded system ensures optimal clarity for high-definition telecasts, zero flicker, and color fidelity that brings the game to life like never before.

Key Highlights of the Transformation:

1. A Canvas of Light:
   Professional-grade lighting eliminates dark spots and uneven coverage, enhancing visibility and elevating gameplay.
2. Smart Symphony:
   A DMX-compatible smart control platform enables remote operation and dynamic scene transitions—seamlessly shifting from high-intensity matches to concerts or ceremonies in seconds.
3. Eyes on the Ball, Not the Glare:
   With advanced beam angles and glare control, the lighting ensures unmatched comfort for players, spectators, and broadcast crews alike.
4. A Brighter, Greener Future:
   The LED upgrade delivers significant energy savings and a reduced carbon footprint, aligning with Bajaj’s long-standing commitment to sustainability and global environmental goals.
   Mr. Rohit Pawar, President, Maharashtra Cricket Association, shared, “The Maharashtra Cricket Association has recently completed a remarkable retrofit project, transitioning from conventional lighting to cutting-edge, energy-saving LED lighting.
