It was introduced to the badminton circuit as a BWF Grand Prix event in 2009. Since then the tournament has been annually held in Lucknow at the Babu Banarasi Das Indoor Stadium, although it was temporarily shifted to Hyderabad in 2010. In 2011, it was upgraded to the Grand Prix Gold event. Badminton World Federation launched a new event structure in 2017. This tournament was then announced as a World Tour Super 300 event ever since 2018.

The tournament was inaugurated by Uttar Pradesh Badminton Association in 1991 as the Syed Modi Memorial Badminton Tournament in memory of Commonwealth Games champion Syed Modi.
From its inauguration till 2003, it remained a national-level tournament. In 2004, it was organized as an international event for the first time, which saw some foreign participation.
