Questions about building a turf
Cost, land, ROI and turf quality, answered.
How much does it cost to build a turf in India?
+
A typical rental turf costs about ₹15–20 lakh, including artificial grass, base preparation, lighting, fencing and branding. The final cost depends on the size, the sport, the location and whether you own the land.
How much land is needed to build a turf?
+
A 5-a-side football turf needs at least 5,000–6,000 sq ft, a 7-a-side turf 8,000–9,000 sq ft, and a full 11-a-side field 50,000+ sq ft. A box cricket arena is typically about 50 × 100 ft. Add space for parking and seating.
Is the turf business profitable?
+
Yes, if it is managed well. A turf typically earns ₹1,000–₹2,000 per hour, with extra income from tournaments, coaching, sponsorships and corporate bookings. Most turfs recover their investment in 18–24 months.
What is the ROI on a sports turf?
+
About 18–24 months. Example: a ₹15 lakh turf booked 4 hours a day at ₹1,000 per hour earns about ₹1.2 lakh a month, which recovers the investment in roughly 1.5 years.
Which sports can be played on artificial turf?
+
Football, cricket (including box cricket), volleyball, kabaddi and multi-sport training. Pickleball and badminton need their own court surfaces, which Turfwale also builds.
What is DTEX in artificial turf?
+
DTEX measures the thickness and density of the grass fibres. Higher DTEX means stronger, more durable turf. For football, 12,000–16,000 DTEX is recommended.
Why are rubber granules and silica sand used as infill?
+
Rubber granules absorb shock and protect players. Silica sand weighs the turf down so it stays stable, stops the fibres from matting and helps drainage.
How long does artificial turf last?
+
8–12 years, depending on how much it is used and how well it is maintained. Good-quality turf with regular maintenance lasts longer.
Can I earn by referring turf clients to Turfwale?
+
Yes. Turfwale pays ₹20,000 for every client you refer who builds with us, and more for stadiums, sports academies and school projects.
