Dorna Sports is actively working with other state governments to promote motorcycling culture in India and collectively work to promote, nurture and groom international-level MotoGP riders in India. “MotoGP continues to earn new audiences and fans worldwide. This makes it imperative for us to expand its presence to new destinations where fans and riders are growing every year. India is key to our scheme of taking MotoGP sport to new frontiers" said Mr Carlos Ezpeleta, Managing Director, Dorna Sports. “Over the past decade, the MotoGP World Championship has gone from strength to strength, thanks to a competitive grid and a well-crafted set of rules. We look forward to gaining a wider fan base in India with the Grand Prix of Bharat."

Economists and industry experts are estimating a boost in trade, tourism and employment. Moreover, the event is expected to generate 50k direct and indirect jobs and 5k jobs on race weekend itself. What is interesting is that MotoGP is also planning to MotoE in India. This will not only be a first in Asia but a significant green initiative with net zero carbon emissions.
