IPL: Mittal Family, Adar Poonawala acquire RR for approx $1.65 billion

IPL: Mittal Family, Adar Poonawala acquire RR for approx $1.65 billion A consortium of Lakshmi N Mittal, Aditya Mittal and Adar Pooonawala has acquired the IPL franchise Rajasthan Royals and its sister entities (Paarl Royals and Barbados Royals) for approximately $1.65 billion, TOI has learnt. A press release to the effect is expected to follow soon. After regulatory checks including approvals from the BCCI, the Competition Commission of India (CCI), the IPL Governing Council, the Mittal Family will own approximately 75 percent of the franchise, Poonawala 18 percent and the remaining approximate 7 percent by existing investors, including the current owner Manoj Badale. The deal is expected to conclude in the third quarter of 2026. Mittal, CEO Aditya Mittal, Non-Independent Director Vanisha Mittal-Bhatia, CEO of the Serum Institute of India Adar Poonawalla and Manoj Badale will join the board of The Rajasthan Royals. On March 21, a Kal Somani-led consortium had emerged frontrunners to own the franchise for $1.63 billion (£1.2 billion) but that effort hit a snag after being unable to raise the required funds, regulatory uncertainties and structure of buyers of consortium for the IPL franchise. The Somani-backed consortium featured American businessman Rob Walton, of the Walmart family, and the Hamp family that also has majority stakes in NFL's Detroit Lions. Sheila Ford Hamp is also part of the Ford family that holds a significant stake in Ford Motor Company.

On Op Sindoor eve, Army releases list, sat images of 7 Pak terror camps destroyed On Sindoor eve, Army releases list, satellite images of 7 Pakistan terror camps destroyed; Rajnath commends valour of soldiers NEW DELHI: Ahead of the first anniversary of May 7 Operation Sindoor, the Indian Army has released a list of seven Pakistan terror camps, which were attacked during the operation.The Army identified the terror locations and posted satellite images showing the damage caused during Op Sindoor at each of these seven terror sites in Pakistan and POJK. In a post on X on ADGPI, the Army said the operation was “silent, swift & decisive”. It listed the struck sites as Kotli Abbas, Kotli Gulpur, Mehmoona Joya, Syedna Bilal, Bhimber, Sawai Nala and Sarjal. In the aftermath of the Pahalgam terrorist attack, the armed forces planned a military strike on terrorist camps in Pakistan and POJK. India launched strikes on multiple terror camps on May 7. Rattled by the killing of hundreds of terrorists in Indian strikes, Pakistan launched retaliatory strikes on India, which were effectively neutralised by the Indian defence forces.India used missiles and loitering munitions to target and destroy the terror camp sites. Apart from the terror camps, India also launched attacks on the Pakistani military establishment, including Ghulni military base, Nur Khan airbase in Rawalpindi, 12th Corps headquarters in Quetta and Khwazai Camp in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Mohmand Agency.Defence minister Rajnath Singh has paid humble tributes to the defence forces whose unmatched valour & indomitable spirit marked Operation Sindoor as a golden chapter in India’s military history while underscoring PM Modi-led government’s unwavering resolve to eliminate terrorism through decisive action.
