inDrive joins NPL 2026 as Official Ride-Hailing Partner for Season 3
KATHMANDU: inDrive has partnered with the Nepal Premier League (NPL) 2026 as the tournament’s Official Ride-Hailing Partner for Season 3. The competition runs from October 26 to November 21, 2026.
The partnership brings together Nepal’s premier T20 cricket league and the global mobility and delivery services platform as inDrive seeks to strengthen its presence in Nepal and expand engagement with the country’s sports and youth communities.
During the tournament, cricket fans will be able to use the inDrive app to travel to and from matches and agree on fares with drivers before the journey begins. The company will also operate a free fan shuttle service within the Tribhuvan University (TU) premises, transporting spectators from the inDrive pick-up station at Gate 2 to their assigned entry gates.
inDrive will organise a range of fan engagement activities during the tournament. Visitors to the company’s activation stalls will receive free slogan cards, cheering sticks and face stickers, take photographs with the inDrive mascot, and participate in games for daily rewards. One fan at every match will also receive an inDrive gift hamper through a camera-based selection.
Shreya Manandhar, Marketing Manager at inDrive Nepal, said, “We are thrilled to partner with the NPL, one of Nepal’s most celebrated sporting leagues. Cricket unites millions across the country, and this partnership allows us to be part of that incredible energy while making it easier for fans to get to every match at a fair price. At inDrive, our fair-play model gives people choice and transparency - values that align closely with the spirit of cricket and the ethos of the NPL. Together, we look forward to making this season more exciting, accessible, and memorable for everyone involved.”
Paras Khadka, Secretary of the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN), welcomed the partnership, saying, “We are delighted to welcome inDrive as our Official Ride-Hailing Partner. Their dedication to empowering communities and enhancing accessibility reflects our mission to promote inclusivity and sportsmanship through cricket. We believe inDrive’s involvement will add tremendous value to the league and elevate the overall fan experience this season.”
According to the company, the partnership forms part of its broader commitment to communities in Nepal, including drivers using the platform and passengers who rely on its services.
inDrive said its app has been downloaded more than 400 million times and was the world’s second most downloaded mobility app for the fourth consecutive year. The company operates in 1,200 cities across 47 countries and also offers intercity transport, delivery and financial services.
