From a niche racquet sport to a full-blown lifestyle movement — that’s the story of padel in India right now. And Padel 360 just raised the bar again, opening its fourth destination in Mumbai’s Lower Parel, a 15,000 sq. ft space that blends sport, wellness, and community under one roof.
Padel, the fast-growing racquet sport combining elements of tennis and squash, has exploded in India over the last three years — and this launch shows just how serious the infrastructure race has become.

From Niche Sport To Nationwide Movement
India’s padel scene has grown from fewer than 100 courts in 2023 to over 300 today, with nearly 100,000 active players fueling demand. Mumbai, in particular, has struggled to keep up with demand for premium, air-conditioned indoor courts — which is exactly the gap Padel 360 is stepping in to fill.
The new Lower Parel facility isn’t just about courts. It’s designed as an all-in-one wellness destination, pairing world-class padel and pickleball courts with recovery and fitness offerings, reflecting how padel is shifting from an occasional hobby to a daily lifestyle habit for many urban Indians.
A Magnet For Celebrities And Athletes
Padel 360’s existing centres have already become a hotspot for celebrities and sportspeople, drawing names like Alia Bhatt, Yuvraj Singh, Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, Shanaya Kapoor, and members of the New Zealand cricket team. That crossover appeal is a big reason padel’s popularity keeps climbing beyond just serious athletes.
With another Mumbai centre already planned for Ruby Mills, Dadar, Padel 360 shows no signs of slowing down as it shapes the next phase of India’s racquet sports boom.
