The survey dates differ and so does the unit being counted. A venue can have several courts, and some venues are not on Playo, so you cannot divide one figure by the other.<\/p>\n<p>Player numbers do not line up anywhere you look. IPA claims \u201cover 50,000 players\u201d; AIPA says \u201cover 10,000 players\u201d on its About page and \u201cover 50,000 amateur and youth players\u201d on its home page \u2014 contradicting itself on the same site. The third-party figure people reach for is an IBEF article, but that too is drawing on other outlets' counts, and the same piece carries both \u201cabout 30,000 amateurs plus 8,000 registered players across 18 states\u201d and \u201c60,000 in 2024\u201d (along with a projection of one million by 2028). Using any single one of these as \u201cIndia's player population\u201d is best avoided.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"venues\">1. There are 1,118 venues, weighted towards the south<\/h2>\n<p>Playo, India's sports venue booking service, lists 1,118 venues where you can play pickleball (36 major cities, compiled by our editors in September 2026). Some venues are not on Playo, so treat it as a floor \u2014 but the skew between cities comes through clearly.<\/p>\n<h3>Hyderabad alone has 234<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Hyderabad (Telangana): 234<\/li>\n<li>Bengaluru (Karnataka): 190<\/li>\n<li>Delhi NCR: 157<\/li>\n<li>Pune (Maharashtra): 102<\/li>\n<li>Chennai (Tamil Nadu): 84<\/li>\n<li>Mumbai (Maharashtra): 79<\/li>\n<li>Ahmedabad (Gujarat): 60<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hyderabad and Bengaluru, the top two, account for about 38% of the total. There are more venues in the south than in Delhi NCR and Mumbai, the big cities of the north and west. Venues by city are in<a href=\"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/venue_area\/india\/\">the India venue list<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>More often a corner of a multi-sport venue than a dedicated court<\/h3>\n<p>Of the 1,118, Playo lists the sports on offer for 883 (the remaining 235 carry no sport listing). Of those 883, the ones registered as pickleball-only number<strong>382<\/strong>, those running more than one sport number<strong>495<\/strong>, and six are registered under a single sport other than pickleball. The most common companions are box cricket (327), football (267) and badminton (152). More often than not, a pickleball court sits inside a multi-sport venue.<\/p>\n<p>Cheap courts matter here too. IBEF puts the cost of building one court at 300,000 to 500,000 rupees, far less than a badminton court at up to 1.5 million.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"federations\">2. There are two national federations, and the government recognised IPA<\/h2>\n<p>This is the first thing to check about India. Two bodies claim to be national, and whose approval a tournament carries changes where it sits.<\/p>\n<h3>IPA was recognised as a national sports federation in April 2025<\/h3>\n<p>In a letter dated 25 April 2025, India's Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports (MYAS) recognised<strong>Indian Pickleball Association\uff08IPA\uff09<\/strong>as a National Sports Federation (NSF). It is based in Ahmedabad. The recognition came with relaxations of the 2011 Sports Code requirements \u2014 three years of existence, district bodies affiliated to at least 50% of state organisations \u2014 and it is not eligible for NSF funding for two years.<\/p>\n<p>IPA's official site claims more than 500 professional players, more than 100 IPA ranking tournaments, more than 50,000 players and coverage of 27 states (all self-reported).<\/p>\n<h3>AIPA was founded in 2008 and is contesting the recognition<\/h3>\n<p><strong>All India Pickleball Association\uff08AIPA\uff09<\/strong>was founded in 2008 by Sunil Valavalkar, who AIPA says also brought the sport to India that year. It joined the International Pickleball Federation (IPF, USA) in 2015 and is a founding member of the Asia Federation of Pickleball. It is based in Mumbai and its president is Arvind Prabhoo.<\/p>\n<p>AIPA is contesting IPA's NSF recognition. The Delhi High Court dismissed AIPA's petition on 4 February 2026 and upheld IPA's recognition. ANI then reported in April 2026 that a division bench of the Delhi High Court granted AIPA \u201ckey relief\u201d (reporting based on an AIPA press release), ordering that AIPA be given the chance to make submissions before any renewal decision.<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cGovernment-recognised\u201d needs care<\/h3>\n<p>AIPA's own site says on its About page that it is working to gain recognition from the government and the Sports Authority of India, while its home page carries a \u201cRecognized by Ministry of Youth Affairs\u201d line \u2014 the two contradict each other. If you come across a source describing AIPA as \u201cthe body recognised by the Indian government\u201d, treat it as likely wrong. If you plan to enter a tournament, check where the organiser's claimed approval comes from.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/india-pickleball-market-growth-organizer.webp\" alt=\"\u30b3\u30fc\u30c8\u8107\u3067\u53c2\u52a0\u8005\u540d\u7c3f\u3092\u78ba\u8a8d\u3059\u308b\u5730\u57df\u904b\u55b6\u30b9\u30bf\u30c3\u30d5\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" \/><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"leagues\">3.

The split between the federations runs straight through the leagues.<\/p>\n<h3>WPBL | Mumbai, seven teams, backed by Sony<\/h3>\n<p>The World Pickleball League (WPBL) is a city-franchise league founded by Natekar Sports &amp; Gaming. Its founders are Gaurav Natekar and Arati Ponnappa Natekar, both former national No. 1 tennis players. It is partnered with AIPA.<\/p>\n<p>Season one ran from 24 January to 2 February 2025 at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai with six teams. The draft picked 48 players from a pool of 75 across 20 countries, and players from 14 countries including Japan took part. Bengaluru Jawans won on the final day and finished top of the points table. Season two moved to Jio World Garden in Mumbai's BKC and added Rajasthan for seven teams.<\/p>\n<p>On the money side,<strong>SETVI\uff08Sony Entertainment Talent Ventures Inc.\uff09<\/strong>came in as a strategic and financial partner.<\/p>\n<h3>IPBL | built by a media group, sanctioned by IPA<\/h3>\n<p>The Indian Pickleball League (IPBL) was launched by the newspaper group The Times Group and is sanctioned by IPA. Its official site describes it as \u201cIndia&#8217;s first and only national franchise-based Pickleball league\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The first season was in December 2025, with six teams: Bengaluru Blasters, Chennai Super Warriors, Capital Warriors Gurgaon, Hyderabad Royals, Lucknow Leopards and Mumbai Smashers. After a round robin, the top four go through to the knockout. Each tie is five matches: men's singles, men's doubles, women's singles, women's doubles and a Grand Rally. The final was on 7 December 2025 at the KD Jadhav Indoor Hall inside IG Stadium in New Delhi, Hyderabad Royals against Mumbai Smashers.<\/p>\n<h3>CCPL | out of Hyderabad, opening 17 October 2026<\/h3>\n<p>The Centre Court Pickleball League (CCPL) grew out of the Hyderabad Pickleball League (HPL), which started in Hyderabad in 2025. It began with eight franchises, and its operator, Centre Court Sports and Entertainment, expanded to Bengaluru.<\/p>\n<p>Season two opens in Hyderabad on 17 October 2026. The player auction was held in Phuket, Thailand, in September 2026. Holding the selection for a domestic league abroad says something about how far across Asia the league is looking.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tournaments\">4. Tournaments and how squads are sent<\/h2>\n<p>The two bodies count tournaments differently, but AIPA has the longer history: its first national tournament was held in Mumbai in December 2013. In 2022 it staged the fifth Bainbridge Cup (World Cup) at the NSCI in Mumbai.<\/p>\n<h3>AIPA sent 34 players to the Asian Junior Championships<\/h3>\n<p>To the third Asian Junior Championships run by AFP, AIPA sent<strong>a 34-strong junior squad<\/strong>, taking gold in the U18 girls' doubles (Stuti and Anjali), silver in the U18 girls' singles (Anjali Pol) and bronze in the U12 girls' doubles (Aadya and Keerthi). That is one tournament; we could not confirm whether squads of this size are sent as a matter of course.<\/p>\n<h3>IPA has title sponsors by age group<\/h3>\n<p>IPA sent a squad to the Pickleball World Cup 2026 in Da Nang, Vietnam, with Picklebay \u2014 a pickleball platform only a year old \u2014 as title sponsor of the under-14s, and Cosmic Birla Group, part of the conglomerate, of the under-18s. Companies are now attaching themselves age group by age group.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"players\">5. The players you can follow by name<\/h2>\n<h3>Armaan Bhatia | three titles at India's first big event<\/h3>\n<p>Mumbai-based former tennis player<a href=\"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/player\/armaan-bhatia\/\">Armaan Bhatia<\/a>took the men's singles, mixed doubles and men's doubles titles at the PWR DUPR India Masters, held at the DLTA stadium in New Delhi in October 2024. In the men's singles final he beat Dusty Boyer of the US 8-11, 11-9, 11-8. Coverage at the time described him as the highest-ranked player in Asia. We could not confirm any PPA Tour or MLP contract on official sites, so we leave that aside.<\/p>\n<h3>The top of the IPA rankings<\/h3>\n<p>IPA's open men's singles ranking lists 227 players (as of September 2026). At the top are Arjun Singh (2,750pt), Aman Patel (2,500pt) and Rashein Samuel (2,325pt). Pro leagues exist and national squads have sponsors, but the number of players appearing in the rankings is still this small.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"gear\">6. More equipment brands are coming out of India<\/h2>\n<p>Equipment is where the maturity of the market shows most. India now has at least eight brands selling pickleball equipment. Paddles run from 809 rupees for wood to 14,999 for the top model.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Specialists<\/strong>: Strokess (Vadodara, Gujarat, which also runs its own court) and Gliderz (Pune, Maharashtra)<\/li>\n<li><strong>General sporting goods makers<\/strong>\uff1aHundred\u3001Nivia\u3001Cosco\u3001Vector X\u3001Airavat<\/li>\n<li><strong>Export manufacturers<\/strong>: Vinex (Meerut, whose site says it has made sporting goods since 1957)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cAn Indian brand\u201d and \u201cmade in India\u201d are not the same thing, though. Two brands state where their paddles are made: Gliderz (\u201c100% of its paddles on Indian soil\u201d) and Strokess (which calls itself \u201cProudly Made in India\u201d). Vinex and Vector X publish where their factories are as manufacturers, but do not say where their pickleball equipment specifically is made. The rest said nothing about production locations on their official sites, as far as we checked.<\/p>\n<p>Cross-checking the USA Pickleball approved paddle list (5,336 listings and 1,382 manufacturers after removing duplicates; different sizes and thicknesses count as separate listings), only two brands matched by name: Hundred (22 listings) and Nivia (2). The list also carries a \u201cVECTOR X\u201d entry, but no model of that name appears in the current line-up of India's Vector X, so we cannot establish they are the same maker and have not counted it. Skipping approval is a natural choice for a brand selling only at home, so approval is not a proxy for quality. It is, however, a guide to whether you can use a paddle internationally.<\/p>\n<p>Each brand's base, prices and approval status are in<a href=\"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/india\/brands\/\">India's Pickleball Equipment Brands<\/a>, and the analysis is in<a href=\"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/paddle-info\/india-paddle-brands\/\">Indian paddles start at 809 rupees. Only two of eight brands hold USA approval<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/india-pickleball-market-growth-club-doubles.webp\" alt=\"\u5730\u57df\u306e\u30b9\u30dd\u30fc\u30c4\u30af\u30e9\u30d6\u3067\u30c0\u30d6\u30eb\u30b9\u3092\u7df4\u7fd2\u3059\u308b\u30a4\u30f3\u30c9\u306e\u82e5\u8005\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" \/><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"japan\">7.

The season one results also carry the names of Japanese players Kenta Miyoshi and Aiko Yoshitomi.<\/p>\n<h3>On growth rate, Japan is not far behind<\/h3>\n<p>The DUPR growth rates in the table at the top are 182% for India against 170% for Japan. The absolute number of venues and the state of the governing bodies differ, but the rate of increase is similar. The difference is that in India the surrounding industries \u2014 leagues, national squads, equipment makers \u2014 are all starting up at the same time.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"checklist\">Four things to hold onto when reading the Indian situation<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Get the federation names right<\/strong>: the government recognised IPA as the NSF; the older AIPA is contesting it (as of April 2026).
