Padel Court in Jalandhar, India

Nestled along the Jalandhar-Nakodar Road in Bajra, Jalandhar, Punjab, Velocity Sports Arena stands as one of the region's most ambitious multi-sport destinations. The facilityis designed to bring world-class sports experiences to the heart of Punjab - a statehistorically passionate about fitness, football, and competitive athletics.

The arena already hosts a full-size artificial-turf football pitch and pickleball courts, floodlit for evening play,alongside landscaped recreational zones. With an eye on diversification and premiumexperience, the owners sought to introduce a sport that was both globally trending andvisually captivating - padel. After thorough research, they connected with UNIPADEL to bring this vision to life.

The Challenge — Introducing Padel to Punjab

Jalandhar is a Tier-2 city more commonly associated with sporting goods manufacturing than padel courts. The client faced a multi-layered challenge:

• No local padel infrastructure — zero reference projects within the region
• Sourcing a globally certified court from overseas while managing customs, freight logistics, and site constraints
• Integrating the court aesthetically into an already-operating sports complex without disrupting ongoing activities
• Recruiting a reliable technical partner who could provide not only the product, but end-to-end guidance — from foundation design to net tensioning

UNIPADEL was selected precisely because we don't just ship courts. We deliver complete solutions.

The Solution — UNIPADEL Super Panoramic Court

Court Specification

Velocity Sports Arena opted for the UNIPADEL Super Panoramic Padel Court — our flagship model, engineered for venues that want to make a statement.

The blue turf delivers sharp visual contrast against the surrounding green landscaping, while the signature green arc lighting arms became an instant landmark within the complex — visible from the aerial perspective and striking even before sunset. At night, the court transforms into a luminous centerpiece that draws attention from across the arena.

UNIPADEL's Logistics Solution — From Factory to Punjab

One of the most common concerns for Indian buyers sourcing padel courts internationally is: "How does it get here, and will it arrive in one piece?"

Optimised Shipping & Packaging

UNIPADEL designs its courts for flat-pack, container-optimised shipping. Every structural component — steel posts, glass panels, turf rolls, net systems — is cut, labelled, and packed to fit within standard 40ft High Cube containers with maximum load efficiency. For this project:

• All steel frame components were pre-drilled and pre-cut at the factory, eliminating the need for heavy machining on-site
• Tempered glass panels were individually protected with foam-edge guards and wooden crating, meeting international freight standards for fragile cargo
• A complete parts manifest with QR-coded labels was provided, allowing the client's logistics team to verify receipt of every component upon container opening

Customs & Import Support

UNIPADEL provided full HS code documentation, product specification sheets in English, and technical datasheets in formats accepted by Indian customs authorities. This significantly reduced clearance time at the port of entry. The client's freight forwarder was also briefed by our team to anticipate inspection queries related to tempered glass classification.

UNIPADEL's Installation Guidance — Remote Expertise, Local Execution

UNIPADEL does not require its clients to fly in foreign technicians for every project. Instead, we have developed a structured remote installation support system that empowers local construction teams to execute to international standards.

Pre-Installation: Foundation Design Consultation

Before a single component left our factory, UNIPADEL's technical team provided:

• Site survey checklist — soil bearing capacity requirements, drainage slope specifications, and concrete slab thickness guidelines (minimum 150mm reinforced concrete recommended for Punjab's ground conditions)
• Foundation layout drawings — anchor point coordinates mapped to the court's standard dimensions, allowing local civil contractors to pour accurately
• Levelling tolerance guide — maximum permitted deviation of ±3mm across the slab surface to ensure glass panels seat flush

During Installation: Step-by-Step Digital Manual

Every UNIPADEL court ships with a multilingual illustrated installation manual covering:

1. Steel post positioning and anchor bolt torque specifications
2. Glass panel sequencing (corner panels first, then lateral runs)
3. Clamp adjustment for glass panel alignment
4. Turf unrolling direction and seam gluing protocol
5. Net post installation and tension calibration
6. Lighting arm positioning and cable routing

For the Velocity Sports Arena project, UNIPADEL's team provided live video call support at each major stage milestone — frame erection, glass panel setting, and turf installation — ensuring the local contractor could verify correctness in real time before proceeding.

India Market Outlook — A Padel Revolution in Progress

The Opportunity

India is on the cusp of a padel boom. With a population of 1.4 billion, a rapidly expanding sports-conscious middle class, and a government actively promoting fitness through initiatives like Khelo India, the conditions are perfectly ripe for padel's emergence as a mainstream racquet sport.
