Commenting on the new principal sponsor, Parth Jindal, chairman and co-owner of Delhi Capitals, said, “We at the JSW Group see this as a tremendous opportunity to step in as principal sponsor for the Delhi Capitals. At the JSW Group we are rapidly growing and building each of our businesses to be the best in India and the world, whether it is our flagship Steel business or our other ventures in Energy, Infrastructure, Cement and most recently Paints. The fact that JSW is rapidly increasing its consumer facing businesses across steel, cement and paints also calls for the JSW brand to be more visible and there are few properties that garner the viewership of the IPL.
