Under soil heating is being used by NFL teams for last 50 years to defreeze frozen football field as NFL is played in winter and many stadiums are outdoor.I don't think it will work in case of overhead dew, 

Thats why i said if the tech could be adapted to reduce dew formation on the ground then it could work.

What time will it start?

It gets dark by 4.30 PM, so hopefully a 1 PM start with close of play by 8 PM will give nearly 45-50 overs under lights.

1st session - 1:00 PM - 3 PM 

2nd session - 3.20 PM - 5.20 PM

Evening session from 6 PM -  8 PM

 

Should consider started even by 12.30 to minimise dew effect, which starts to get heavy by 7- 7.30 PM.

Day night tests are actually great at Spring/Summer in India not Autumn/Winter :facepalm:

 

In fact I'd argue we could schedule a few after the IPL finishes :om:
