Among the other men's entries are the rest of the top-10 ranked men's players: Stan Wawrinka, Kei Nishikori, Andy Murray, Tomas Berdych, Milos Raonic, Marin Cilic and David Ferrer.
Two-time Indian Wells champion Maria Sharapova headlines the women's field, which includes Ana Ivanovic, Caroline Wozniacki, defending champion Flavia Pennetta, Jelena Jankovic, Victoria Azarenka, Daniela Hantuchova and Vera Zvonareva.
Other top-10 women include Simona Halep, Petra Kvitova, Agnieszka Radwanska, Angelique Kerber and Dominika Cibulkova.
The remaining spots in men's and women's draws will be filled by qualifiers and wild cards, which will be announced later.
