In Q3 FY26, the company acquired Sunrisers Leeds Limited (formerly Northern Superchargers) in the UK for GBP 100.5 million, expanding its cricket franchise footprint beyond the existing India-based team. FM radio operations were restructured during the year with Kai Radio Limited merging into Udaya FM Private Limited.
