In the Indian Premier League (IPL), the Gujarat Titans (GT) are a professional T20 franchise cricket side. The Gujarat-based team, which is based in Ahmedabad, made their IPL debut in 2022, hosting games at the world's largest cricket stadium, the magnificent Narendra Modi Stadium. With the help of Hardik Pandya, GT won the IPL championship in their first season and finished second in 2023, making them an immediate phenomenon.
The team is still one of the most talked-about in the league, even after a poor 2024 season in which they finished in ninth place.It is still developing on and off the field with Ashish Nehra as head coach and young Indian batsman Shubman Gill as the current captain.
In IPL 2025, GT performed well, finishing third after 14 regular-season matches. Although they were eliminated by MI in the playoffs, the team has consistently delivered strong performances and gained great attention and fan support since its debut. We can look forward to their future success.
In February 2025, Ahmedabad-based Torrent Group acquired a 67% stake in Gujarat Titans from CVC Capital Partners for INR 503.5 billion. The BCCI approved the deal ahead of the 2025 IPL season.
The current ownership structure is:
Owner and duration:
CVC Capital Partners (100%)2021-2024:
Torrent Group (67%) + CVC (33%).2025 - Present
While Torrent Group has gained operational management, CVC Capital Partners retains a 33% minority share, indicating that they will continue to be involved with the company they helped develop from scratch.
CVC Capital Partners, a global private equity firm headquartered in Jersey, made a surprise entry into IPL by bidding INR 5625 crore in October 2021 to acquire the Ahmedabad-based franchise. They named it Gujarat Titans just days before the 2022 IPL mega auction.
CVC, founded in 1981, is well-known for its global footprint, managing about €191 billion in assets from offices in Asia, Europe, and North America. With this investment, the Gujarat Titans became one of the few IPL teams that are not owned by a single family or corporate group, making them a distinct entity within the league's structure.
Torrent Group has been established early in 1959 by Uttambhai Nathalal Mehta and is now managed by his sons, Sudhir Mehta and Samir Mehta. its Headquartered is located in Ahmedabad and has diversified operations in:
Pharmaceuticals (Torrent Pharma)
Power Distribution (Torrent Power)
City Gas Distribution
Transmission & Infrastructure
With a revenue exceeding INR 41,000 crore and a market cap of around INR 2 lakh crore, Torrent is among the top Indian business groups. Their sports investment wing, Torrent Sports Ventures Pvt. Ltd., had previously participated in the 2021 IPL franchise bidding for Ahmedabad and Lucknow, making Torrent's eventual entry into IPL a well-planned move.
"We are committed to nurturing the Gujarat Titans and creating a lasting legacy for everyone involved—our fanbase, the players, and our employees," said Jinal Mehta, Director at Torrent Group.
