In a major boost to Indian motorsport, the Government of Uttar Pradesh has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with AVW Global to facilitate the return of MotoGP to India.
The agreement is expected to revive international racing at the iconic Buddh International Circuit, a track that has previously hosted high-profile global motorsport events.
The Buddh International Circuit, located in Greater Noida, was once India’s premier motorsport destination, attracting international attention and thousands of racing fans. However, global racing events at the venue had slowed in recent years.
With this new partnership, the state government aims to reposition Uttar Pradesh as a global sporting destination. Officials believe the revival of MotoGP will not only enhance India’s presence in international motorsport but also generate tourism, investment, and employment opportunities in the region.
MotoGP is regarded as one of the most prestigious motorcycle racing championships in the world, drawing elite riders, global sponsors, and massive television audiences.
Industry observers note that the success of the revival will depend on seamless coordination between event organisers, international governing bodies, and state authorities.
If executed effectively, the return of MotoGP could mark a turning point for India’s motorsport ecosystem — reigniting enthusiasm among fans and reinforcing the country’s capability to host world-class sporting events.
