GREW Solar, one of India’s fastest-growing solar PV manufacturers, backed by Ahmedabad-based Chiripal Group, today announced a strategic partnership with the 2024 Women’s T20 Cricket League Champions – Royal Challengers Bengaluru for the 2026 season. Under the partnership, GREW Solar is the Lead Arm Partner, marking the company’s entry into one of India’s most rapidly expanding women’s sporting properties. This association reflects GREW Solar’s commitment to enabling progress through clean energy, innovation, and inclusive growth.
GREW Solar’s partnership with the 2024 champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women’s team will feature the company’s branding on RCB players’ jerseys and across broadcast, digital, and on-ground platforms throughout the tournament. Cricket is an emotion in India, and women’s cricket has firmly claimed its place in fans’ hearts over the past few years, recording growth in both reach and engagement. Women’s cricket in India has entered a transformative era of growth, with the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 drawing over 446 million digital viewers and record engagement across platforms. The surge in audience interest, combined with the expanding reach of the Women’s T20 league, underscores the sport’s rising stature, commercial appeal, and its ability to inspire a new generation of fans and brands alike.
The Women’s T20 Cricket League 2026 is scheduled to begin on 9 January 2026, with matches hosted across Navi Mumbai and Vadodara. Aligned with the belief that sport is a powerful catalyst for social progress, GREW Solar supports the transformative vision of women’s cricket and aims to play an active role in strengthening women’s sports in India by backing platforms that champion excellence, visibility, and equal opportunity. Through this partnership, GREW Solar seeks to connect the pursuit of sporting excellence with its larger mission of building a cleaner, more resilient energy future.
Vinay Thadani, CEO and Director, GREW Solar, said, “The rapid rise of the Women’s Cricket reflects a powerful shift in Indian sport. Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women, the 2024 champions, represent excellence, consistency, and ambition; values that strongly align with GREW Solar’s vision. This partnership allows us to engage deeply with fans and communities while contributing to the continued rise of women’s cricket as a powerful force in Indian sport.”
Rajesh Menon, Chief Operating Officer, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, said, “We are delighted to welcome GREW Solar as our Lead Arm Partner for the upcoming season. This partnership reflects the growing confidence of Indian industry in the potential and impact of women’s sport, and we look forward to building a meaningful and successful association.”
