India Cements directly owned the Indian Premier League franchise Chennai Super Kings from 2008. [3] It then transferred ownership to a separate entity named Chennai Super Kings Cricket Ltd., after the Supreme Court of India struck down the controversial amendment to the BCCI constitution's clause 6.2.4 that had allowed board officials to have commercial interests in the IPL and the Champions League T20 on 22 January 2015.

In July 2024, UltraTech_Cement acquired a majority stake in India cements. [6] However, there will be no change in ownership of Chennai Super Kings as it has been functioning as an independent entity. [7]
