After a 13-year absence, the Indian government is making strides to bring Formula 1 back to the Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India. Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya confirmed that the government is addressing the tax issues that led to the discontinuation of the Indian Grand Prix after the 2013 season. These issues revolved around whether F1 should be taxed as entertainment or sport, which made the event financially unviable. The government is now considering either eliminating the tax burden or establishing a reimbursement mechanism for event organizers. Mandaviya expressed optimism about the return, stating that an official announcement could occur within the next few months. Additionally, three companies have shown interest in promoting the event. Despite the packed F1 calendar of 24 races, the successful hosting of a MotoGP race at the circuit in 2023 adds to the venue's credibility as a potential F1 location.
