The Indian Grand Prix 2025 for MotoGP has been cancelled. And as a result, the GP will move to become a reserve event for the 2025 calendar year. On the contrary, the Indian GP is slated to make a comeback in the MotoGP calendar in 2026. Owing to delays the Indian GP was pushed back and with no free dates in the schedule, the Indian GP has now been pushed back to the year after.
The Budh International Circuit in Noida will not be hosting the Indian GP in 2025. Reports claim that operational circumstances is the main reason for the same. Reports further claim that the authorities found it hard to arrange the finance required to host the event.
MotoGP Statement
The FIM, IRTA and Dorna Sports confirm that the Indian Grand Prix will be included on the 2026 FIM MotoGP™ calendar, moving to become a reserve event for 2025.
Operational circumstances have obliged the event to be delayed from its initial slot near the start of the 2025 calendar. With no available dates towards the end of the season, MotoGP™ will therefore return to India in the early stages of 2026.
Both MotoGP™ and InvestUP are working hard to bring MotoGP™ back to Buddh International Circuit with a world-class event, and are committed to confirming India as a destination for global sporting events.
Our collaboration with InvestUP to bring MotoGP™ back to India continues to lay fantastic foundations for the future and MotoGP™ looks forward to racing in front of our incredible Indian fans as soon as possible.
With Indian GP no longer in the schedule for the next year, the event thus will be moved to a reserve status. This means that the racing and MotoGP fans in India will have to wait for a year further to witness the extravagant affair being hosted in the country.
