The Somani consortium beat other contenders, the Times Internet-led consortium, the Aditya Birla Group and the Mittal family led by ArcelorMittal CEO Aditya Mittal to acquire 100% ownership of the franchise. This makes RR the most expensive IPL franchise, going past the Sajiv Goenka-led RP‑SG Group, which paid Rs 7,090 crore to buy Lucknow Super Giants.
