Women's HIL auction 2024
The 4 Women's Hockey India League teams bought 96 players for ₹7.936 crore at the 2024 auction. Udita went for the most, ₹32 lakh to the Shrachi Rarh Bengal Tigers, and Yibbi Jansen was next at ₹29 lakh. Every figure is the price a player was bought for at the league's auction, which is her fee for the season that follows. The women's league began beside the men's in 2024 with a full auction, at which each of the four teams bought 24 players out of a purse of ₹2 crore. The 2025 auction was a smaller one to fill the places around the players each team retained, and a retained player is not bought, so she is not in these figures.
