The tournament has traditionally occupied the March-to-May window, with schedule changes during the Covid-affected 2020 and 2021 seasons. The BCCI has not announced any plan to alter the calendar, and a January edition would require careful coordination with international fixtures and player availability.
"The IPL no longer needs to find its place in the cricket calendar. It has earned the right to influence it," Juhi Chawla wrote.
"The IPL has evolved. Perhaps its calendar should too now!"

Lalit Modi Backs Juhi Chawla's Proposal and Says IPL Does Not Need ICC Approval
Former IPL chairman Lalit Modi supported Juhi Chawla's suggestion, arguing that the BCCI should have the freedom to decide when its domestic T20 competition takes place. Modi was expelled from the IPL and the BCCI for "committing acts of serious misconduct and indiscipline".
"Of course, international commitments and player releases must be managed, but that is entirely different from seeking permission to exist in a particular part of the calendar."
Lalit Modi Proposes January or October-April Window for IPL
Lalit Modi had previously urged the BCCI to reconsider the tournament's traditional summer schedule. He compared the IPL's position in cricket to that of the English Premier League in football, describing it as a global sporting and commercial powerhouse.
Modi proposed two alternatives to the existing schedule: a January start or a carefully planned October-to-April competition window. He also warned that the BCCI should not allow the existing international calendar to restrict the league's future expansion.
"The ICC and other cricket boards should recognise the economic reality and work constructively around it. The IPL cannot be expected to subsidise an outdated global calendar indefinitely. You cannot run tomorrow's cricket on yesterday's economics."
