DP World has renewed and expanded its partnership with Delhi Capitals, continuing as the franchise’s Global Logistics Partner while deepening its focus on grassroots cricket development in India. The renewed collaboration builds on a three-year association, combining logistics support for the team with community-led initiatives.
Under the Beyond Boundaries Initiative launched in 2023, DP World has delivered repurposed shipping containers and over 3,300 cricket kits across eight countries, with Indian cities including Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Guwahati, Lucknow, and Chennai benefiting from the programme.
In the Delhi NCR region, the company has installed two repurposed containers as multi-purpose pavilions and distributed over 500 cricket kits to support emerging talent. It has also launched the DP World Delhi Capitals Arena in Gurugram, offering 1,000 free play hours to the community. The partnership further strengthens DP World’s association with the franchise, building on its role as Title Partner of the Delhi Capitals Women’s Team from 2024.
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. 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.”
Sunil Gupta, CEO, Delhi Capitals, added, “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.”
