Mumbai: Padel 360 is expanding its presence in India’s rapidly growing racquet sports ecosystem with the launch of its fourth centre and second Mumbai destination in Lower Parel in August 2026.
Spread across 15,000 sq. ft, the new integrated facility will bring together padel, pickleball, Pilates, Yoga, a café and a dedicated recovery centre under one roof.
India’s padel ecosystem has expanded rapidly over the past three years, with the number of courts growing from fewer than 100 in 2023 to more than 300 nationwide.
The sport is now supported by a growing community of nearly 100,000 active players and increasing demand for world-class sporting infrastructure.
Against this backdrop, Padel 360 is positioning its new Lower Parel facility as an integrated destination combining sport, wellness and hospitality.
The facility will feature two international-quality padel courts, two pickleball courts, a café, a Pilates and Yoga studio and a dedicated recovery centre.
The Lower Parel destination will be India’s largest air-conditioned indoor court facility, according to the company, and represents a first-of-its-kind concept for Mumbai by bringing multiple sporting and wellness offerings together in one location.
As padel participation continues to increase, the demand for premium sporting infrastructure has also grown.
In Mumbai, demand for premium, air-conditioned indoor courts continues to outpace supply, with players increasingly looking for destinations that combine sporting facilities with wellness and community experiences.
For Padel 360, the Lower Parel launch marks another step in its expansion across the country’s premium indoor racquet sports market.
Since opening its flagship centre in Worli in November 2024, Padel 360 has developed into one of India’s leading premium indoor padel and multi-sport operators.
The company’s centres are supported by professional coaching, strategically located facilities and climate-controlled indoor courts.
The brand currently welcomes close to 600 visitors daily across its existing facilities. With the addition of the Lower Parel destination, Padel 360 will expand its footprint to four centres, strengthening its presence in India’s growing racquet sports ecosystem.

“Padel is evolving from an emerging sport into one’s daily lifestyle, and we believe the infrastructure supporting that growth must evolve alongside it.
With our fourth centre, we are introducing a destination that brings together premium playing facilities, wellness, and hospitality in an all-integrated ecosystem.
Our ambition extends beyond expanding our footprint; we want to shape how the next generation experiences racquet sports in India,” said Nilesh Bansal, Co-Founder, Padel 360.
Anu Bansal, Co-Founder, Padel 360, said the Lower Parel facility was envisioned as a space that would go beyond sporting infrastructure and create a community-oriented destination.
“When we envisioned this space, we wanted to create more than just great courts. We wanted to build a place that brings people together, a place where they can play, unwind, build connections, and feel a true sense of community.
Whether they are here to compete, for a casual game, or simply to spend time with friends, we hope they find more than a sport here. We hope they meet like-minded people and find their tribes,” said Anu Bansal, Co-Founder, Padel 360.
Ishita Mohatta, Co-Founder, Padel 360, highlighted the sport’s growth and the company’s focus on creating premium experiences around the game.
“Padel is one of the most exciting and fastest-growing sports in India today. Our passion has always been to inspire more people to discover the game while creating world-class experiences around it.
As the sport continues to grow, we remain committed to building an ecosystem that brings together community, competition, and premium infrastructure to support its long-term future,” said Ishita Mohatta, Co-Founder, Padel360.
The Lower Parel destination has been designed as more than a conventional sporting venue, reflecting the growing intersection of fitness, wellness and community.
Through its integrated format, Padel 360 aims to bring sporting activities and wellness experiences together within a single destination.
Across its existing centres, Padel 360 has also become a preferred destination for celebrities, athletes and entrepreneurs. The brand has welcomed personalities including Akash and Shloka Ambani, Alia Bhatt, Yuvraj Singh, Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, AP Dhillon, Shanaya Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha, Agastya Nanda, Ibrahim Ali Khan, Zaheer Khan, Mandira Bedi, Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway.
Members of the New Zealand cricket team have also visited Padel 360, highlighting the sport’s growing appeal as a lifestyle activity among prominent personalities.
The Lower Parel launch is also part of Padel 360’s longer-term expansion strategy. The company already has another Mumbai facility planned at Ruby Mills in Dadar.
With the Indian padel ecosystem continuing to expand, Padel 360 is growing its network of integrated sporting destinations around premium infrastructure, community, competition, wellness and hospitality.
The Lower Parel centre will add to this network while further expanding the company’s presence in Mumbai.
The development comes as padel moves beyond its emerging-sport phase and gains a broader lifestyle-oriented audience, with the growth of courts, players and demand for premium facilities contributing to the evolution of India’s racquet sports landscape.
