India's government is actively pursuing the return of Formula One to the Buddh International Circuit near New Delhi by 2028, more than a decade after the Grand Prix was discontinued due to complex tax and regulatory disputes.The Indian GP, which debuted in 2011, was dropped after its third running in 2013. In a significant move, Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya recently convened a meeting with key stakeholders, including prospective track owners the Adani Group and representatives from the national motorsports federation, announcing the formation of a task force to revive the prestigious race.Addressing the intricate tax and regulatory landscape will be a primary focus for this new panel, a source within the ministry informed Reuters. The task force is mandated to "examine the challenges affecting the revival and growth of motorsports in the country, including Formula One, with a specific focus on taxation-related issues, regulatory aspects, infrastructure, and other policy interventions..."

While the group did not respond to a Reuters request for comment, Karan Adani, Managing Director of Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ), has publicly stated his "personal engagement" in bringing Formula One back to the nation.Formula One chief executive Stefano Domenicali has acknowledged the sport's "big interest" in returning to India, though he cautioned that "significant homework" remains. Speaking to F1 India broadcaster FanCode last month, Mr Domenicali emphasised the need to "again find back the right promoters, the right collaboration and the right timing, which will not be in the very short term."For now, India is not part of the F1 calendar, with Lewis Hamilton and Co set to compete at the Belgian Grand Prix this weekend.Following that, Formula 1 will head to Hungary next weekend for the final race before the mid-season break, with racing due to resume in the Netherlands on the weekend of 21-23 August.
