~ Adani Group locks in as IOA Principal Sponsor through Asian Games Aichi-Nagoya, with Garv Hai, CWG Glasgow haul and Ahmedabad 2030 in the frame ~
Ahmedabad / New Delhi, September 2026: Adani Group has renewed its role as Principal Sponsor of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), extending support for Team India as the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan run from 19 September to 4 October 2026.
The association was already in place at the Commonwealth Games Glasgow 2026, where India finished fourth with 39 medals — 13 gold, 17 silver and 9 bronze. The renewal keeps institutional sponsorship on the calendar as India looks ahead to Commonwealth Games Ahmedabad 2030 and the country’s longer Olympic hosting conversation.
Pranav Adani, Director, Adani Enterprises Limited (AEL), said: “Indian athletes continue to make the country proud on the global stage. We are delighted to renew our association with the Indian Olympic Association as Team India prepares for the Asian Games. With Ahmedabad set to host the Commonwealth Games in 2030, this is an important moment to build a stronger sporting ecosystem and inspire many more young Indians to pursue sport. Through our ‘Garv Hai’ initiative, we remain committed to supporting India’s sporting talent and helping our athletes realise their full potential.”
Dr PT Usha, Olympian and President, IOA, said: “India’s performance at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow reflects the talent and growing strength of our athletes. We are grateful to the Adani Group for continuing its association with the Indian Olympic Association. As we look ahead to the Asian Games and the Commonwealth Games in Ahmedabad in 2030, such support will be important in helping our athletes prepare and compete at their best. We look forward to continuing this association as Indian sport moves forward.”
Beyond the IOA crest, Adani’s sports stack spans Garv Hai athlete support, multi-sport grassroots academies, the 10th edition of the Adani Ahmedabad Marathon on 29 November 2026, and franchise ownership across professional leagues — sponsorship framed as ecosystem, not a one-Games cheque.
Marketing take: Renewing Principal Sponsor status mid-Asian Games and on the road to Ahmedabad 2030 turns Adani’s sports bet into a multi-cycle platform — Garv Hai for athletes, marathon for mass participation, and IOA for national crest equity.
