As per an article in Livemint, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd has opted to be a ground sponsor for the ninth and tenth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Maruti will join the likes of Vodafone India, Yes Bank and Freecharge as ground sponsor for the Vivo IPL 2016. The sponsorship will give them the access to advertise prominently in the stadia, on perimeter walls, on the scoreboard among other areas.

Reportedly, the ground sponsorship will essentially be used to advertise its latest launch, Vitara Breeza, the company's first compact utility vehicle. The car was launched earlier this month.

Further, the company has not yet commented on the investment being made on the IPL ground sponsorship. However, the management stated that the company's investment in sport association has increased by 20% since last year.

Considering the huge fan following of the IPL, the investment may possibly generate positive returns. The stock is trading up by 0.4%.

On completion of this deal, the company would have raised more than US$ 2 billion from tower sales in Africa. Further, the deal is expected to be completed in the first half of 2016.

The deal will improve the company's ability to focus on its core business and will help in reducing the company's debt. The stock is trading down by 0.2%.
