F1 May Return to India by 2028

The Indian government has put Formula 1 back on its agenda, 13 years after tax disputes ended the Indian Grand Prix. A task force is examining the challenges that led to the sport's exit, including taxation, import duties, and commercial arrangements. India is targeting a possible 2028 return for F1.

The task force aims to put the right framework in place for F1 to return and stay. The government's decision to revisit F1 comes after a 13-year hiatus, during which the sport has grown globally.

The Indian Grand Prix was held three times before it was discontinued due to tax disputes. If successful, the return of F1 to India could boost the country's sports profile and attract new fans.
