The original agreement between the two parties was valid until December 31, 2024, and was earlier extended by a year till the end of 2025.<\/p>\n<p>In an official note, the BCCI stated that the extension has been critical for the <strong>seamless day-to-day functioning of its digital properties<\/strong>, including coverage and operations related to international and domestic tournaments, as well as the Online Domestic Management System (ODMS), while a <strong>consolidated Request for Proposal (RFP)<\/strong> process for digital platform management has been underway.<\/p>\n<p>With the <strong>2025\u201326 season already in progress<\/strong> and the RFP process nearing its conclusion, the BCCI said it engaged with Tech Mahindra for a short-term extension to ensure <strong>operational continuity<\/strong> until a final decision is taken and a structured transition plan is implemented.<\/p>\n<p>The board highlighted that a <strong>phased and orderly transition<\/strong> is essential to avoid disruption to live operations, data integrity, fan-facing platforms, and regulatory or commercial commitments linked to its digital ecosystem. However, Tech Mahindra maintained that any further extension should be for <strong>12 months<\/strong>, leading to a divergence in positions between the two sides.<\/p>\n<p>In light of this, the BCCI said it is <strong>examining alternative solutions<\/strong>, including interim arrangements within the existing contractual framework and the possibility of aligning short-term operational support with the <strong>prospective new service provider<\/strong> identified through the RFP process.<\/p>\n<p>The board added that any transition will be carefully coordinated to safeguard the <strong>stability and quality of its digital operations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has approved a six-month extension for Tech Mahindra, which manages the\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":32938,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4057],"class_list":["post-10454","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cricket","tag-top-stories"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10454","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/250"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10454"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10454\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32938"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10454"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10454"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10454"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
