In a media release Jay Shah, son of Union Home Minister Amit Shah said, “This is indeed a momentous occasion for the BCCI IPL as the Tata Group is the epitome of global Indian enterprise with an over 100 year old legacy and operations in more than 100 countries across six continents.”
Transactions For IPL Title Sponsor
In 2018, Vivo signed a deal with BCCI worth Rs 2200 crores for rights of title sponsorship from 2018-2022. But after Galwan Valley military face-off between India and China, the brand has taken a break for a year in view of public backlash. In 2020, Dream 11 was the title sponsor of Indian Premier League.
In 2021, Vivo became title sponsor again but there were other speculations in the air. It was heard that Vivo was looking for suitable bidder to transfer the rights and BCCI approved of it.
Vivo also committed to pay Rs 996 crores; Rs 484 crore for 2022 and Rs 512 crore for 2023 season of IPL.
Tata will pay Rs 335 crore each year making a total of Rs 670 crore. Rs 301 crore is the Rights Fee and additional Rs 34 crore is paid as incremental fee.
This year IPL expanded to 10 teams from 8 teams. Total number of games per season has also been increased to 74, earlier which were 60. The incremental fee paid by Tata Group is for 14 games that have been increased.
The difference amount of Rs 183 crore and Rs 211 crore for year 2022 and 2023 respectively will be paid by Vivo as it promised more amount to BCCI. Vivo will also pay Assignment fee of Rs 29 crore and Rs 31 crore to BCCI for two years.
It’s a great deal for Tata Group as they became IPL title sponsor at a lesser cost for two years.
But the real winner is BCCI as it is receiving money from both groups.
