MI Net Worth (IPL Valuation)
Houlihan Lokey’s 2025 IPL valuation study put Mumbai Indians’ brand value at about ₹2,081 crore, ranking second among the ten IPL franchises. The same study valued the whole IPL business at about ₹1.59 lakh crore.
Brand value is not the same as the price a buyer would pay for the whole franchise, which is usually much higher.
