In talks on with 3 Indian cities for potential return in 2026: Formula E

Formula E is in talks with three big cities in India for a potential return of the race in 2026, top officials of the all-electric racing series told PTI here on Friday.

The Hyderabad round was dropped from the 2024 calendar due to the change in government in Telangana.

Hosting a global motorsport event was not a priority of the new government which came to power last December.

The calendar for the next season is already announced, so, the focus is on getting the race reinstated for the season beginning in December 2025.
