New Delhi [India], April 13 (ANI): Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said on Monday that India will 'surely have Formula 1 races' in 2027 and in the next six months, there will be a meeting on this issue with concerned authorities and stakeholders in the sport.
Recently, there have been reports regarding the government considering bringing back Formula 1 to the Buddh International Circuit, almost thirteen years after the last race was held at the track.
Sports Ministry sources had said earlier in February that the Formula 1 race in Greater Noida could soon make a comeback. Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya recently visited the Buddh International Circuit (BIC) in Greater Noida, signalling potential plans to revive the Indian Grand Prix. BIC had hosted races between 2011-13.
Now, speaking during an informal meeting to reporters at his residence on Monday, Mandaviya said, 'We want to start Formula 1 again soon. We are in talks. We will surely have Formula 1 in 2027. In the next six months we have meeting on this soon. Because of the war in the Gulf countries, they feel India is a safe country. We need to make it viable.'
The 2026 Formula 1 season began with the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne on March 8, following pre-season testing in Bahrain from February 11 to 20. (ANI)
