Adani Group Working To Revive Formula 1 At Buddh Circuit

A recent visit by the sports minister to the track signaled government engagement with the effort.

Overview

  • Karan Adani said he is personally involved in plans to restart Formula 1 at Greater Noida’s Buddh International Circuit.
  • He spoke at AIMA’s Foundation Day event, calling India a strong market with significant F1 following.
  • The group is pursuing the acquisition of Jaiprakash Associates, which developed the circuit, after winning a majority lenders’ vote in November 2025.
  • Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya recently inspected the venue and met Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority officials.
