The Indian Premier League (IPL) continues to be the biggest money-maker for the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). According to a report in The Hindu, which quoted Rediffusion, the IPL contributed more than 59 percent of BCCI's total revenue in FY24, proving once again why it is called the Board's cash cow.
Here's how much money BCCI made in FY24
In total, BCCI reportedly earned Rs. 9,741.7 crore (over $1 billion) in FY23–24, out of which Rs 5,761 crore (over $580 million) came from the IPL alone. Apart from IPL, the Women's Premier League (WPL), international media rights, and sponsorship deals also added to the board's income.
The report also mentioned that BCCI made Rs 361 crore from non-IPL media rights, like broadcasting India's international matches. Apart from these, the Board has close to Rs 30,000 crore in reserves, earning nearly Rs 1,000 crore a year in interest alone. The board also gets Rs 1,000 crore from the ICC as annual revenue.

Business strategist Lloyd Mathias said IPL is a perfect model for generating money and giving opportunities to players from the domestic level.
'BCCI in 2007 discovered a golden goose – the IPL which is now a 100 per cent part of the BCCI. The tournament is the best and media rights are constantly going up. IPL also ensures that players from Ranji Trophy-levelget a playing field. IPL will continue to churn out profitability as it growth further,' Mathias said.
Sandeep Goyal, Chief of Rediffusion, said that even tournaments like Ranji Trophy and Duleep Trophy can be commercialised to boost non-IPL income. He believes BCCI's overall revenue could grow 10 to 12 percent every year, thanks to sponsorships, media deals, and match-day earnings.
'BCCI has immense potential to commercialise traditional formats like Ranji Trophy, Duleep Trophy, or CK Nayudu Trophy to shore up non-IPL revenues. Moreover, the board has close to ₹30,000 crore in reserves, which brings in about ₹1,000 crore a year in interest alone. These revenues aren't just sustainable—they are poised to grow 10–12 per cent annually, thanks to expanding sponsorships, media deals, and matchday earnings,' Sandeep Goyal said.
However, experts also warned that BCCI relies too much on IPL. A disruption in the league can hurt revenue. For example, the tournament was briefly halted this year due to Operation Sindoor and the subsequent tensions between India and Pakistan. For now, the IPL remains the most crucial brand for the BCCI.

Officials: UPSIDA purifying waste water at treatment plants for reuse

The Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Authority (UPSIDA), through sewage treatment plants (STPs), waste water treatment plants, and common effluent treatment plants, is purifying and reusing wastewater keeping in mind environmental protection and industrial efficiency, officials said. The Surajpur waste water treatment plant (Gautam Budh Nagar) is being upgraded to SBR technology with a capacity of 6 MLD at a cost of Rs 899 lakh, targeted for completion by June 2026. The EPIP Kasna waste water treatment plant (3.6 MLD) is being upgraded with SBR technology at a cost of Rs 678.59 lakh. The Loni STP in Ghaziabad, based on MBBR technology, is operating at full capacity (5 MLD). Meanwhile, the Loni common effluent treatment plant dedicated to dyeing and textile waste is set for a major upgrade—from 6 MLD to 16 MLD—with a Rs 42 crore DPR already prepared. UPSIDA is integrating solar energy solutions into water purification plants and industrial areas. Rooftop solar panels are being installed at plant sites, leading to a significant reduction in energy costs and carbon emissions.

ENG vs IND fifth Test: Rishabh Pant ruled out of fifth Test due to injury; N. Jagadeesan named replacement

India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant was on Sunday (July 27, 2025) ruled out of the fifth and final Test against England after sustaining a fracture to his right foot on day one of the fourth match here. Tamil Nadu's N. Jagadeesan has been named as his replacement. "Rishabh Pant, who sustained a fracture to his right foot during the fourth Test against England in Manchester, has been ruled out of the fifth and final Test of the series," the BCCI said in a press release. The 27-year-old Pant retired hurt on 37 on the opening day of the Test in Manchester and went for scans after taking a blow to his right foot while attempting a reverse sweep off England pacer Chris Woakes. He, however, returned to bat after the fall of Shardul Thakur's wicket with India at 314/6 and went on to score an audacious fifty. "The BCCI Medical Team will continue to monitor his progress and the team wishes him a speedy recovery," BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said in the release. "The Men's Selection Committee has named Narayan Jagadeesan as replacement for Rishabh Pant for the fifth Test, which begins on July 31, 2025, at Kennington Oval, London." India's updated squad for the fifth Test: Shubman Gill (C), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Kuldeep Yadav, Anshul Kamboj, Arshdeep Singh, N Jagadeesan (WK).
