$3,400 million in Britain͛s, while the Melbourne Games created
an impact of $1,600 million on Australia͛s GDP.
However, an GO Hazard Centre claimed that Delhiites will have

Commonwealth Games and "in the next 25 to 30 years, each one
of them will have to pay a debt in form of increased prices of
land, basic commodities and petrol.

CONCLUSION
India's decision to bid for the Commonwealth Games 2010 was non-transparent
and undemocratic and cost the country Rs. 137 crore. India offered US $7.2
million to train athletes of all Commonwealth nations - an offer which allegedly
clinched the bid in India's favour.
!he Government of India and Delhi had underwritten costs and budget shortfall
of the Games, despite the fact that the Ministry of Finance, Department of
xpenditure, Government of India, cautioned against it in 2003.
!he budget for the CWG had risen from an initial projection of Rs. 1,899 crore to
an official figure of Rs. 10,000 crore and independent expert estimates of Rs.
30,000 crore.
CONTD..
!otal expenditure on infrastructure, beautification projects, and security is
unknown but is likely hundreds of crores.
A July 2009 report of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG)
raised questions on certain financial aspects of the Games, including
sponsorships and revenue generation.
xperience from around the world has demonstrated that mega sports events
result in losses for the host country, especially when security costs are factored
in. India's expenses for the CWG are likely to create a negative financial legacy
for the nation, the effects of which are already visible in the form of higher
cost of living and taxes for Delhi residents.
!he increase in the Union Budget allocation for the CWG from the Ministry of
Youth Affairs and Sports rose by 6,235% from 2005-06 to 2009-10.
m
