2025 Indian MotoGP Faces Cancellation Threat Over Financial Shortfalls

2025's MotoGP event in India faces potential cancellation

It appears that the Indian MotoGP will not be featured in the upcoming season's Grand Prix schedule for 2025.

Autosport reports that the race is likely to be called off because Invest UP, a governmental investment agency in Uttar Pradesh, where the MotoGP event takes place at the Buddh International Circuit, has not provided sufficient financial backing for the occasion.

In 2023, the Indian Grand Prix was introduced to the MotoGP schedule, with Marco Bezzecchi securing the victory. The event was organized by Fairstreet Sports.

Invest UP was tasked with advertising the 2025 event following an agreement with Dorna Sports, the entity owning the MotoGP rights, which was set to end in 2029.

The 2024 version of the competition was called off earlier this year due to financial issues, and was subsequently substituted with the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix that occurred last weekend.

The Indian Grand Prix's 2025 iteration has been shifted from its September scheduling in 2023, and its intended 2024 date before it was called off, to a new slot in March, aiming for more favorable and cooler climatic conditions.

India's revised March schedule aimed to integrate it into the initial series of Asian races for the season, starting with the Thai Grand Prix on the first weekend of March.

The complete schedule for the 2025 season has not been unveiled, but multiple events such as those in Thailand, Germany, Czechia, and a fresh location in Hungary have been officially announced.

Autosport has disclosed that the Argentinian Grand Prix is set to make a comeback in the following season, after not being featured in 2024 due to significant changes in economic policy introduced by Javier Milei, who took office as the President of Argentina in December 2023.
