'A 40% IPL tax could build 10 IITs': Bengaluru professor questions India’s vision priorities https://www.businesstoday.in/latest/economy/story/a-40-ipl-tax-could-build-10-iits-bengaluru-professor-questions-indias-vision-priorities-473764-2025-04-27 In IPL 2023 alone, BCCI reported a ₹5,120 crore surplus, with revenues touching ₹11,770 crore, mainly powered by media rights. With projected revenues for 2024 and 2025 reaching ₹12,000–₹13,500 crore annually, the scale is only growing.   Professor Mayank Shrivastava from IISc Bengaluru points out that if a simple 40% tax were applied just on BCCI’s IPL profits, nearly ₹15,000 crores could have been raised over three years—enough to fund 10 new IITs or create a national deep-tech innovation corpus. "Add franchise profits (₹800–₹1,200 crore/year), and another ₹320–₹480 crores could be collected annually. In total, nearly ₹6,000 crores per year could be redirected into research, just from the IPL ecosystem," he writes.

Why did banks lend him money despite his history? Why is there no accountability? And how can someone like Dalmia still dance through the system?
