It replaced the Sardar Patel Gujarat Stadium, which hosted domestic and international cricket in the city until its demolition in 2015, including the 1987, 1996, and 2011 Cricket World Cups. In 2014, it was decided that a new stadium should be built on the same plot. The new stadium, originally named Motera Stadium, was designed by Populous and built by Larsen and Toubro. It took five years to build, at an estimated cost of 800 crore (US$95 million). After completion, the new arena replaced the Melbourne Cricket Ground as the world's largest cricket stadium. The stadium has four dressing rooms, 11 centre pitches, and two practice grounds. The practice grounds can also serve as venues for domestic matches.

The new stadium opened to the public in 2020 amid the Namaste Trump event. In 2021, the stadium was renamed Narendra Modi Stadium in honour of the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who had previously served as chief minister of Gujarat (2001–2014) and president of the GCA (2009–2014). In 2021, the stadium was inaugurated with Indian President Ram Nath Kovind presiding over the event.
