MUMBAI: KP Group has stepped up to the crease, not with a bat, but with big green energy. On 29 March 2025, the renewable energy titan announced its partnership with Delhi Capitals as the official renewable energy partner for the ongoing T20 League season. It’s not just cricket and contracts—it’s climate goals wrapped in a cricket jersey.
KP Group chairman & MD Faruk G Patel put it straight, "We are proud to associate with Delhi Capitals as their renewable energy partner. Cricket is a religion in India and the T20 League is one of the most popular sporting leagues in the world featuring the best cricketers. The association not only brings KP Group to the spotlight but also emphasises the crucial role of renewable energy in conserving the planet. Together, we aim to inspire crores of cricket fans and other people around the world to adopt clean energy solutions."
This partnership isn’t a one-hit wonder. KP Group has a long track record of supporting sporting events and athletes across disciplines. Patel added, "At KP Group, we have always believed in the power of sports to bring people together and inspire change. Over the years, we have supported various sporting events and athletes across disciplines, showcasing our commitment to supporting talent and promoting a healthier world. This association with Delhi Capitals is another milestone in our journey of empowering sports."
Delhi Capitals CEO Sunil Gupta echoed the sentiment, "We are happy to welcome KP Group as our renewable energy partner for the ongoing season. This association aims to promote positive change to inspire sustainability through sport as the vehicle. We look forward to their support and a meaningful partnership."
There’s a cricketing twist to the tale too. Former Indian pacer and 2011 World Cup winner Munaf Patel—now bowling coach of Delhi Capitals—is also a brand ambassador for KP Group. Call it a match made in sporting sustainability.
With over 1.4 GW of renewable projects energised and another 3.8 GW in progress, KP Group is no small player. From solar and hybrid energy through KPI Green Energy, to wind energy via KP Energy, and engineering expertise from KP Green Engineering—the company has covered its green bases. Plus, its bold new venture into green hydrogen under KP Green Hydrogen & Ammonia Pvt. Ltd. shows it's not just talking clean, but walking the green walk.
Delhi Capitals, co-owned by GMR Group and JSW Sports, led by all-rounder Axar Patel, are set to play their second match of the T20 League 2025 season against Hyderabad in Visakhapatnam on 30 March.
