Mumbai, Feb 10 (IBNS) The Marketing Committee of the BCCI has given certain Media Rights relating to the Pepsi IPL for three seasons to Novi Digital Entertainment Pvt Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Star India Pvt Limited, officials said on Tuesday.

The Committee met in Mumbai on Tuesday to receive the bids on the issue.

A cumulative reserve price of INR 120 crores over the three seasons was set, the BCCI said in a statement.

"Bids from three entities were received - Times Internet Ltd, Multi Screen Media Pvt Ltd and Novi Digital Entertainment Pvt Ltd," it said.

"The Committee, after following the due tender process, awarded these Media Rights to Novi Digital Entertainment Pvt Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Star India Pvt Limited, for a cumulative fee of INR 302.2 crores for the three seasons, which is substantially higher than the fee of the previous rights period," it said.
