Women IPL Teams Auction – Who all are participating? InsideSport earlier had reported that almost 30 business houses have bought the tender document.
The BCCI are expecting a huge windfall with more than 30 companies entering the race to own a franchise. The inaugural WIPL season will have 5 teams with all 10 IPL franchises and other companies also in contention to own a WIPL team. Among the interested companies are Haldiram, Infosys, Shriram Group, Manchester United owners, Adanis and all 10 IPL Team owners.
Defending IPL champions Gujarat Titans, Delhi Capitals Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Punjab Kings all have confirmed that they will be bidding for WIPL Teams. The base price is not set and bids will be accepted for a 10-year period (2023-32).
- The BCCI has imposed a net worth clause of INR 1000 crore.
- No BASE-PRICE for the BIDDING kept
- WIPL Media Rights were auctioned for 951 Crores to VIACOM-18 for a period of 5 years.
“WIPL has huge potential but most of the legacy teams would like to mix optimism with pragmatism. Expect a few bids in the range of Rs 500 crore upwards. Rs 800 crore plus could be a bit ambitious but BCCI won’t complain,” an industry insider, who has previously worked on men’s IPL team bid, told PTI ahead of auction.
As per reports, Indian snack and restaurant firm Haldirams also have expressed their interest in purchasing the Women IPL team. Haldirams picked up the document just a couple of days before the January 21 deadline. The ITT has been available for purchase for a non-refundable fee of Rs five lakh.
The BCCI has listed 10 Indian cities and the venues in the tender, which allows a single party to bid for more than one city. The bids will be accepted for a 10-year period (2023-32).
