WITH RECORD VIEWERSHIP AND A 50% JUMP IN AD SPENDING FOR THE ICC WORLD CUP, WOMEN’S CRICKET IS NO LONGER A SIDESHOW
INDIA'S WOMEN IN Blue might be in abit of a spot with back-to-back losses in the ongoing ICC women’s World Cup, but off the field, there is much reason to cheer.
The first 13 games of the tournament saw over 60 million viewers tune in, according to data from the International Cricket Council and broadcast platform JioHotstar. The growth in digital viewership is a fivefold increase from the women’s World Cup in 2022. The total watch time has hit 7 billion minutes on the OTT platform, up 12 times from 2022. On TV, the first 11 games delivered a reach of 72 million.
Clearly women’s cricket is no longer in the shadow of the men’s game in India.
Advertisers have also thrown their weight, with the sponsor line up for the event featuring four Google brands (Gemini, Pay, Pixel and Android), besides Rexona, State Bank of India and the International Gemological Institute. Coca-Cola is on board as official beverage partner.

Ensuring affordable fuel for masses
WHEN INDIA ANNOUNCED its ambitious target to roll out 20% ethanol-blended petrol (E20) by FY26, it seemed like a win on all fronts. It promised to reduce oil imports, strengthen energy security, cut carbon emissions, and boost farmer incomes. Yet on the ground, the narrative has been more complicated. Concerns over reduced mileage, potential engine wear, and rising fuel costs have made ethanol blending a contentious issue, especially among India’s urban middle class, a price sensitive demographic. India doesn’t need to choose between sustainability and affordability. A smarter, more flexible approach would be to open trade in fuel ethanol, maintain mechanisms to protect farmers, and adopt technological solutions to check evaporative emissions to the ethanol story work better for all.
