PKL 2025: Haryana Steelers Sponsors and Partners

Here are the organisations serving as official sponsors and brand partners of Pro Kabaddi League team Haryana Steelers, thus enjoying a strong branding presence across their physical and digital assets.

Principal Partners

With Haryana Steelers being owned by JSW Sports, the sports division of the JSW Group, other brands of the Indian corporation have served the PKL team as their sponsors over the years. 

JSW Cement was initially part of the Steelers’ sponsorship portfolio as an associate partner. However, in 2023, it was moved up to the role of principal partner. 

The two parties last signed a contract extension deal in October 2024. As part of the agreement, the JSW Cement is prominently displayed on the front of the Steelers’ playing kits.

The multi-year deal puts the brand’s logo on the back of the Steelers’ jersey.
