About the Vedanta Kalinga Lancers

Vedanta Kalinga Lancers are the Champions of the Hero Hockey India League 2025–26, marking a historic achievement that reflects the team’s excellence, resilience, and commitment to success at the highest level of Indian hockey.

Birthed in Odisha’s rich hockey legacy, the Vedanta Kalinga Lancers represent the perfect blend of skill, strategy, and spirit. Our name resonates with the invincible courage of the ancient Kalinga warriors, and we bring that fierce perseverance onto the field with every match we play.

In 2024, Vedanta’s efforts to develop grassroots sports and strengthen India’s sporting ecosystem reached a new milestone as we became the proud owners of the Vedanta Kalinga Lancers. This marked the beginning of a renewed vision — infusing fresh energy, ambition, and purpose into a team destined for greatness.

With the Kalinga Lancers, Vedanta’s multi-faceted approach to sports development has found powerful expression. Together, we are building a culture of excellence that extends far beyond the hockey field — nurturing talent, inspiring communities, and contributing to India’s sporting rise.

The sticks are raised, the spirit is fierce, and the legacy is only growing stronger. Let the games continue. 🏆 💙
