BCCI Media rights Update: Day 2 closes with ₹6,032 crore bid

The Board of Control for Cricket in India media rights bid has reached a whopping ₹6,032.50 crore at the end of the e-auction process on Day Two.

The BCCI will be awaiting a bigger windfall as the e-auction process will resume at 11 am on Thursday.

The last bid on Day Two at 6.30 PM has an offer of ₹ 6,032.50 crores for the Consolidated Rights – this amounts to a per match value of ₹59.14 crore. The figure has already made the Indian Premier League per match record value of ₹55 crore a thing of the past.

The previous update at 5.30 pm was priced at ₹6003.9 crore.

The bidding process for the 102-game BCCI FTP over the next five years (2018-2023) is still on. There is a feeling within the BCCI that the final bid may touch the magic number of ₹6,500 crore for the consolidated rights. “The bidders are taking their own time, but there is an aggression in the bidding trends. We initially had expected a 10-15 per cent premium over the previous per match value, but now we see it certainly going past the ₹60 crore mark, maybe touching the ₹63 crore figure,” a senior BCCI official told insidesport.co.

Star India has been paying the BCCI ₹ 43.3 crore per game since April 2014. The 21st Century Fox-owned broadcaster had last year committed an awe-inspiring ₹55 crore per IPL match as it made the ₹ 16,347.5 crores successful bid to pocket the consolidated media rights for cricket world’s biggest commercial event.

The bidding process will resume at 11 AM tomorrow (Thursday).
