The stadium was opened in 1982, and was renovated in 2009.

The arena was named after Raj Kumar Khanna, a former president of the All India Tennis Association (AITA) and a former non-playing captain of the India Davis Cup team.

It was a venue for the tennis events at the 1982 Asian Games and 2010 Commonwealth Games. It is also used sometimes for India's Fed Cup and Davis Cup matches.
