IPL 2026: DP World has renewed and expanded its partnership with Delhi Capitals. The firm stays the team’s Global Logistics Partner. The deal now also supports more community cricket. A key move is the DP World Delhi Capitals Arena in Gurugram, with 1,000 free play hours.

The partnership builds on a three-year link between the brands. DP World manages high-performance logistics for the franchise. It also backs grassroots cricket in India and abroad. Work includes container pavilions, cricket kits and skills support for young players.

Beyond Boundaries Initiative and India focus

Through the Beyond Boundaries Initiative, launched in 2023, DP World delivered 13 repurposed shipping containers and 3,300 cricket kits. These went to eight countries. In India, communities in Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Guwahati, Lucknow and Chennai have already gained from the programme.

In Delhi NCR, DP World supplied two repurposed containers. These now serve as fully equipped, multi-purpose pavilions. The company also provided more than 500 cricket kits. This infrastructure aims to support emerging cricket talent in the area.

Support for grassroots cricket

Hemant Kumar Ruia, Country Manager, DP World, Subcontinent (India), said: “This partnership reflects DP World's commitment to enabling performance, both on and off the field. Over the past three years, DP World has supported grassroots cricket through repurposed container pavilions, kits, and masterclasses with cricketing legends.”

He added: “As we renew our association with Delhi Capitals, we are proud to deliver seamless logistics that allow the team to perform at its best, while expanding access to the game in communities across India.”

Gurugram arena and women’s team link

As part of the renewed agreement, DP World has opened the DP World Delhi Capitals Arena in Gurugram. It offers 1,000 free play hours. Fans, aspiring cricketers and the wider public can use the space. Details are shared on Delhi Capitals’ social channels.

Sunil Gupta, CEO, Delhi Capitals, said: “DP World has brought a clear focus on purpose and community to this partnership. Their commitment to expanding access to cricket and supporting grassroots initiatives has added an important dimension to our collaboration. We look forward to continuing this journey together.”

The renewed partnership also builds on DP World’s role as Title Partner of the Delhi Capitals Women’s Team since 2024. The longer deal strengthens links between the logistics group and the franchise, covering elite cricket and community projects.
