India is considering the potential return of Formula One racing to the country, with the government establishing a task force under the National Institute for Transforming India (NITI) Aayog to evaluate the feasibility of hosting a Grand Prix and outline a roadmap for the development of the motorsports sector. The task force, chaired by NITI Aayog member Yugal Kishore Joshi, will examine a range of factors, including taxation, sustainability, international benefits, and infrastructure requirements.
The aim is to identify key priorities and recommend suitable Public-Private Partnership (PPP) models to support the growth of motorsports in India. The Indian Grand Prix, previously held at the Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida from 2011 to 2013, was won by Sebastian Vettel on multiple occasions. However, Formula One has not returned to the Indian calendar since 2013.
Discussions are ongoing about bringing Formula 1, MotoGP, and a round of the World Rally Championship (WRC) back to India by 2030, 2028, and 2028 respectively.
