India is hoping to host the 2036 Olympics as the country gets ready to bid for the same. Reliance Foundation Founder-Chairperson Nita Ambani has said India must host the Olympics and that the country has the ability to host the “greenest Olympics ever”.

Speaking at the Harvard University’s Annual India Conference on Indian Business, Policy and Culture, in Boston, Ambani said, “I believe that India must have the Olympics. We are going to be the third-largest economy in the world. If you look at the 10 largest economies of the world, nine countries have hosted the Olympics, but only India has not. So I find that really odd. We would wish to see the Olympics being hosted in our country. It will be our pride to host that. So that is the reason, I think the Prime Minister also mentioned that India will bid for the 2036 Olympics.”

“I think we are planning to host a sustainable Olympics where we are planning to refurbish, reuse our existing stadiums and existing campuses. If we bid for it and get it, I assure you that we’ll be the greenest Olympics ever…I think India is at the right time now to host the Olympics,” she added.

Nita Ambani’s statement came days after Home Minister Amit Shah, during the closing ceremony of the 38th National Games, said India was ready to host the 2036 Olympics. “I can say it today that India has a very bright future in sports. We are ready to host the Olympics in 2036,” Shah had said.

Last month, while inaugurating the National Games, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said tha his government was putting all its might behind the bid to bag the hosting rights of 2036 Olympics. “We are pushing for hosting rights of 2036 Olympics, it will take Indian sports to new heights,” PM Modi said.

“Olympics is not just a sporting event. Wherever Olympics happen, all sectors gain. It creates better facilities for athletes. It spurs construction, creates new connectivity, transport facilities and most important of all, boosts tourism,” he added. “People from all over the world, including the athletes, will come down to India,” the Prime Minister said.
