Goenka's RPSG Group is now the owner of the new Lucknow franchise, while CVC will own the Ahmedabad team.

Besides HMVL, the other entities that participated in the bid were: Adani Sportsline Private Limited, a consortium consisting of Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone; Amrit Lila Enterprises, Avashya Corporation, Capri Global, Championship Cricket and Torrent Sports Ventures.
