F1 Eyes Return to India: Adani Group Leads Revival Bid

Formula 1 could soon be racing in India again, as the Adani Group is actively working on plans to restart the sport at the Buddh International Circuit. Karan Adani has confirmed his personal engagement in reviving the Indian Grand Prix. The Adani Group is currently in the process of acquiring Jaiprakash Associates Ltd, which includes the Buddh International Circuit.

This initiative follows the group winning a majority vote for the takeover of the debt-laden company in November 2025. Adani expressed strong enthusiasm for F1's return, citing India's significant potential and a large following for the sport. He believes India is capable of hosting such a major global event and showcasing its hospitality and heritage.

The Indian government appears supportive, with the Sports Minister recently visiting the circuit and holding discussions. Formula 1 was previously held in India for three consecutive years from 2011 to 2013 but was halted due to a tax dispute. The Adani Group's involvement now offers renewed hope for the sport's return to Indian soil.
