India will be the 31st country to host the glorious racing event, the Motorcycle Grand Prix in the year 2023. India is listed as the fourteenth round in the 21-race calendar, and the round will take place in September 2023.  

The homologation Process Has Started

After hosting the Formula 1 race in 2013, Buddh International Circuit again has been started to get homologated. FIM governing body has already started its preparation to host the mega event, MotoGP race 2023. FSS COO Pushkar Nath confirmed that the FIM officials have started inspecting the track on BIC for homologation. BIC would be the 75th Venue for MotoGP to present the premier race to worldwide motorcycle racers and enthusiasts. 

No doubt, the moment would be a gracious and golden for all Indians along with the State Government of UP and Central India.

MotoGP Race & Indian Economy

According to the Chief Minister of UP, Mr. Yogi, the race will entice foreign investors to invest in the Indian sports market and India will experience a certain hike in foreign investment. Among the 1.4 billion population, more than two hundred million people count on 2-wheelers every day for daily commutes.

An amazing fact is, more than 75% of motorcycle users bring their 2-wheeler each day to serve their daily purposes. Thus, the MotoGP race will certainly impact the Indian motorcycle manufacturing industry positively. And manufacturers are looking forward to having a rise in production and supply in the coming years. We all are excited to know how the MotoGP paddock results in driving more riders to the event on Buddh International Circuit as well as our motorcycle markets.
