NSDF, SAI Partner with Indian Oil to Strengthen Boxing Ecosystem in India

The National Sports Development Fund (NSDF), Sports Authority of India (SAI), and Indian Oil Corporation have entered into a partnership to strengthen the boxing ecosystem in India. Under this MoU, Indian Oil will provide ₹40 crore over two years for talent identification, athlete development, coaching, sports science, and capacity building for referees and officials. This initiative follows the inclusion of sports as a dedicated thematic area under the Department of Public Enterprises’ Common CSR Theme Framework. The collaboration integrates Indian Oil's CSR funding, NSDF's resource mobilization, and SAI's technical expertise to support both emerging and elite athletes, aiming to build upon recent successes in international sporting events such as the 2026 Asian Games.
