Mumbai will host 10 matches - the inaugural one, seven home games, one semi-final and the final.
The first match of IPL-3 was originally scheduled for Hyderabad on March 12, but in the backdrop of the agitation over Telangana statehood demand, it was shifted to Mumbai.
Sources added if the Telangana issue continued, the seven home matches for Deccan Chargers could be shifted to Mumbai.
