This is in no way unique to this tournament only.
Lots of tournaments make ths mistake
This is nize gym for sure
Two problems with this setup of tables
1. They are equally spaced
2. They are not individually barriered
Highest level events need more room & also must be individually barriered on all 3 side with sapce in between on all 4 sides for spectators
These are showcase tables
Lowet events can be closer but also can get away without barriers but not recomended due to safety issues
In this case if you look at the schedule, all events are not at the same time.
So I do not see why you need to put out 20 tables this way.
Maybe they changed the configuration later for Open Singles I do not know

Vistara is a great place.
But tables are too close for sure even for lower levels
Why did they have to setup 20 tables ?
I am just curious

This is true.
It looks pretty and all but from a view point of functionally this is not a good example of court design for a formal TableTennis tournament.
And worse from viewpoint of player safety I would only give a rating of 2 out of 10
