Coca Cola to be the associate sponsor of IPL!!!


Coca Cola used to be the official sponsor for almost all cricket matches in India. It had just stopped sponsoring. After about 7 years of complete isolation from cricket, Coca Cola is now back with a bang. It has signed as the on-air associate sponsor for the Indian premier League(IPL).
Being one of the four associate sponsors, Coke will pay between Rs. 16-20 Crores for the series which is at a much lower rate than other individual slot payers.

Main sponsors, Vodafone and Hyundai are paying between 22-26 Crore each. Coke's rival Pepsi will not be able to secure any commercial time during the IPL matches since Coke is the exclusive beverage partner as well.
