CCI is in focus.

21 Sept 2026 · Business Today Mkts

The acquisition covers the wider Royals franchise network rather than the IPL team alone. The acquisition was announced earlier this year at an enterprise value of about $1.65 billion (approximately ₹1,58,38.63 crore).

CCI reported ₹1,58,38.63 crore. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.

  • With CCI involved, this carries a regulatory dimension that can outlast the immediate market reaction.
