The Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Indoor Stadium is an indoor sports arena, in Mumbai, Maharashtra. The facility seats 5,000 people.

In 2002, a team led by renowned architecture firm Shashi Prabhu & Associates and Sterling Engineers as their structural designers, planned an indoor stadium in place of the old open air stadium. The 5000 capacity indoor stadium with 16 ancillary halls was constructed there with a basement measuring almost 12 acres and accommodating 1000 car parking places. Today, the stadium houses a large health club and a gymnasium.[2]
The stadium is host of the Indian Badminton League and is home of Mumbai Marathas.[3]
