First race will be at Buddha International Circuit,&#8221; Mandaviya said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/> However, sources within Formula 1\u2019s parent company Liberty Media indicated that an agreement is still far from final.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/> &#8220;2027 is highly unlikely but India is a market of interest. We have many amazing fans in the country but we are not close to an agreement,&#8221; said the source.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/> Formula 1 had earlier highlighted a fan base of 79 million in the country while announcing its broadcast partnership last December.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/> The proposal also comes as the Adani Group is set to acquire debt-laden Jaypee Group assets, including the Buddh International Circuit, reviving speculation over the track\u2019s future in global motorsport.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/> Mandaviya said the government will play a facilitative role, particularly in addressing tax issues that previously made hosting unviable.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/> &#8220;It will take another six months to work out the modalities. The government will help in getting the tax relaxations that had become a bone of contention so that it is a viable venture for the organisers,&#8221; said the Sports Minister.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/> He also pointed to broader geopolitical and sporting considerations, adding:<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/> &#8220;Given the global situation due to the ongoing Iran war, India is being seen as a safe and viable venue for sporting events, including F1. <!-- -->We plan to have a Moto GP event before F1 returns. The Federation of Motor Sports Clubs of India (FMSCI) is in talks with Formula One right now, we will be facilitators,&#8221; he elaborated.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/> Mandaviya said infrastructure upgrades and fiscal incentives would be key to attracting Formula 1 back.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/> &#8220;Not just BIC, we have good tracks in Chennai and Hyderabad as well. Government&#8217;s role would be to deliver on infrastructure and handle tax-related issues.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"38\"\/> &#8220;For instance, if the entertainment tax cannot be altogether repealed, we will try to ensure that reimbursements are provided to incentivise the project for the organisers. Discussions are ongoing on this issue.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"40\"\/> &#8220;It is an inter-ministerial matter and we are trying our best to make it attractive for Formula One,&#8221; Mandaviya added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"42\"\/><\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/city\/noida\/f1-returning-to-greater-noida-sports-minister-says-3-companies-interested-what-we-know\/articleshow\/130233003.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Used For Representational Image NOIDA: Sports minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Monday said efforts are&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11515,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[28099,28104,28102,28098,28100,10935,28103,28105,1488,1487,1489,1490,28101,1491],"class_list":["post-11514","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-adani-group-jaypee-group","tag-buddh-international-circuit","tag-fmsci-formula-one-talks","tag-formula-1-india-2027","tag-indian-grand-prix","tag-mansukh-mandaviya","tag-motorsport-events-india","tag-motorsport-infrastructure-upgrades","tag-noida-latest-news","tag-noida-news","tag-noida-news-live","tag-noida-news-today","tag-tax-hurdles-formula-1","tag-today-news-noida"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11514","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11514"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11514\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/11515"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11514"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11514"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11514"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
