The league features eight teams competing in a five-day Round Robin format, with matches scheduled only on weekends across three weekends. The semi-finals and finals will be held on December 28.
The tournament is organised by the Federation of Telangana Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FTCCI), a 108-year-old organisation and one of India’s most vibrant regional chambers. The President’s Cup, now in its second edition, was launched last year as the first-ever cricket league exclusively for the industrial workforce.
Highlighting the significance of the tournament, Ravi Kumar, President, FTCCI, said that an Industrial Cricket League plays a vital role in strengthening camaraderie among companies and creating a collaborative platform beyond boardrooms.
“It promotes employee wellness, leadership, team spirit, and work–life balance—essential in today’s high-pressure corporate environment. Such initiatives help reduce stress, improve productivity, and foster a strong sense of belonging. Sports have the power to unite, showcasing the human side of industries where teamwork and fair play rise above competition,” he said.
Mr Ravi Kumar added that the response to the league has been overwhelming. “Due to time constraints, participation was limited to eight teams this year. In the coming years, we plan to expand the tournament to 12 teams.”
The participating teams in the FTCCI–NMDC President’s Cup 2025 include NMDC Limited and MPL Group. Other teams taking part are Macro Media Digital Imaging Private Limited and Sudhakar PVC Products Pvt Ltd.
Also competing in the tournament are Oriana Solar Energy Private Ltd (by Lano Advisors LLP) and ProArch – IT Consulting Services. The remaining teams in the league are Truzon Solar (by Suntek) and Granules India Ltd.
