Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya has expressed optimism about hosting a Formula 1 race in India by 2027, specifically at the Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida. During a media interaction, Mandaviya revealed that at least three companies are interested in managing the circuit. The Indian Grand Prix last took place in 2013 but was discontinued due to tax and bureaucratic issues. The Adani Group, which is acquiring assets from the financially troubled Jaypee Group, has shown enthusiasm for reviving the event. Mandaviya's discussions with the Federation of Motor Sports Clubs of India (FMSCI) indicate a strong governmental push to integrate motorsports into India's sporting landscape, potentially nurturing future talent in the field. The Formula 1 management, led by Stefano Domenicali, has yet to comment on these developments.
