Delhi NCR, Nov 21st: Gallant Sports, a frontrunner in sports infrastructure solutions in India, today announced that it has entered into a strategic five-year master agreement with CC Grass, the global leader in synthetic turf manufacturing, to bring the revolutionary 100% non-infill artificial grass system branded “Leap” to the Indian market.
Under this agreement, Gallant Sports will distribute and install CCGrass’s Leap non-infill turf product across India for sports venues, schools, municipal playfields and commercial-leisure facilities. This marks a major leap forward in sports surface technology and sustainability in India’s infrastructure sector.
Why this matters
- The Leap system from CC Grass is a 100% non-infill turf system with no sand or rubber granules, delivering high performance, low maintenance and superior durability.
- With India aiming to scale up its sports infrastructure for multi-sport, grassroots and elite venues, this partnership enables rapid roll-out of best-in-class artificial turf solutions with global specifications, right here in India.
- Through the master agreement, Gallant Sports will leverage its deep local market expertise and installation network, and CC Grass will bring its global R&D, manufacturing scale and sustainability credentials.
“This alliance is a game-changer for us,” said Nasir Ali, CEO of Gallant Sports. “We have long believed that world-class sports surfaces are foundational to nurturing talent and delivering safe, high-quality competition venues. With CC Grass’s Leap system, we are not just offering turf we’re delivering a performance ecosystem that matches India’s Olympic & multi-sport ambitions. Over the next five years, we will transform how artificial grass is specified, installed and serviced in this country.”

India is poised for a sports renaissance, and our technology will support that journey by delivering a surface that reduces maintenance, improves player safety, and provides a sustainable alternative to conventional infill systems. Together, we will redefine standards in artificial turf across the region.”
