Value of eSports prize money India 2018-2024
As of the year 2023, the overall prize money awarded at eSports events held across India amounted to 181 million Indian rupees. This was an increase compared to the previous year owing to the introduction of new online gaming regulations by the government that included the banning of several eSports titles. However, forecasts suggest that the amount allotted for prize pools will peak to 220 million rupees in 2024. This can be attributed to the growing interest in eSports by players, viewers, and investors alike.
