Sahara India Group on Wednesday renewed its ties with Indian hockey by signing a five-year deal to sponsor the national men's and women’s teams, besides announcing a sponsorship amount that is 170 per cent higher than the sum in the previous contract. The group, which had earlier come forward to support the national sport in 2003, has assured whole-hearted support for the development of hockey.
"It is our national game and we are proud to be associated with this game and are elated to continue our patronage and support for the game," said Sahara chief, Subrata Roy.
