Speaking to IANS, a Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) official in the know of developments said that the full schedule was expected to be released on 18 March.
The IPL COO and his team has been working overtime to ensure that despite this being the year of the general election, the league is played in India.
"It is expected that the remaining schedule for this season of the IPL would be finalised and announced on Monday when the CoA meets.
"The IPL COO and his team are working overtime on this and it is a credit to them that the BCCI can even hope of holding the entire season in India this year," he said.
Last year's winners Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Chennai in the opener.
In the first two weeks, all teams are playing a minimum of four matches with the newly-christened Delhi Capitals and RCB playing five matches.
