Which 2026 Maruti Suzuki Brezza facelift variant should you buy?

The ZXi is the sweet spot in the Brezza facelift range. It gets many of the features buyers in this segment are likely to appreciate, including an electric sunroof, LED projector headlamps, wireless charger, push-button start and ambient lighting, while remaining available with all three mainstream powertrains – the 1.5-litre petrol manual, 1.5-litre petrol automatic and factory-fitted CNG. This makes it the most well-rounded variant for most buyers.

If you’re planning to buy the new 1.0-litre Boosterjet turbo-petrol, the ZXi again stands out. In addition to the features mentioned above, it adds equipment such as cruise control, front parking sensors, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and a tyre pressure monitoring system, making it the best-balanced turbo variant in the Brezza range.

The ZXi+ is best suited to buyers who specifically want the larger 10.1-inch touchscreen, Suzuki Connect connected car technology, ventilated front seats, leatherette upholstery, 360-degree camera and premium cabin features. While it offers the most comprehensive equipment list in the Brezza range, the additional convenience features may not justify the price premium for every buyer.

2026 Maruti Brezza launched at Rs 7.40 lakh

2026 Maruti Brezza

Maruti Suzuki has launched the 2026 Brezza at a starting price of Rs 7.40 lakh. The carmaker’s compact SUV gets major updates, including a new engine option, gearbox, feature additions and minor changes to its exterior. The 2026 Maruti Brezza will take on the likes of the Hyundai Venue, Skoda Kylaq, Tata Nexon, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Kia Sonet and Syros.

  1. New 1.0-litre ‘Boosterjet’ engine produces 110hp and 170Nm.
  2. 5-speed manual gearbox replaced by a new 6-speed unit.
  3. Front seat ventilation, air purifier, larger 10.1-inch touchscreen on board.

Finally gets a turbo-petrol and an underbody-mounted CNG kit 

The biggest update for the Brezza comes under its hood. It gets a new 1.0-litre ‘Boosterjet’ direct-injection turbo-petrol engine that develops 110hp and 170Nm. The previous version’s 103hp, 139Nm, 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine has been retained with the option of pairing it with a CNG kit. However, CNG versions now feature an underbody-mounted kit like the Victoris, which saves boot space. All powertrains are paired with a new 6-speed manual gearbox as standard, while only the 1.5-litre petrol engine offers a 6-speed automatic transmission. 

2026 Maruti Brezza exterior updates

Mild updates bring a revised fascia and new alloy wheel designs

On the outside, Maruti has introduced minor styling updates for its compact SUV. The revised fascia gets a newly designed grille with a panel connecting the headlamps finished in dark chrome. The bumper is slightly redesigned with dark chrome elements and a new look for the faux skid plate. While the LED headlamps with L-shaped DRLs have been carried over, the fog lamps have been positioned slightly upwards and sit in a new triangular housing. 

In profile, the lower sides of the doors feature new dual-tone cladding and the 16-inch alloy wheels have a fresh design. It’s at the rear where the 2026 Brezza does not see as many changes, as it gets the same tail-lamps and bumper design as before.

Maruti has also introduced new Vivacious Orange and Lustrous Beige paint options along with dual-tone finishes with a black roof on these colours as well.

Royal Enfield’s 500cc UCE engine powered several notable models, but after its discontinuation in 2020, nothing has quite filled that space. That is where the all-new Honda CB500 intends to slot in. The CB500 is powered by an all-new 501cc single-cylinder air/oil-cooled engine producing 27hp and 43.3Nm.

Honda is yet to reveal the motorcycle’s complete specifications, but we do know that the CB500 will feature a conventional telescopic fork, twin rear shock absorbers and disc brakes at both ends. The overall design draws inspiration from the familiar CB350, with classic styling cues including a round LED headlight, a ribbed single-piece seat and a large teardrop-shaped fuel tank. It is paired with modern features such as Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), a slipper clutch and an analogue-digital instrument console with Honda RoadSync connectivity.

While the prices haven’t been revealed yet, Honda will offer the CB500 in three variants: a standard alloy-wheel version, a cross-spoke tubeless-wheel variant and a range-topping cross-spoke tubeless variant with exclusive graphics.

2026 F1 Hungarian GP schedule, India timings

F1 Hungarian GP schedule

The first half of the 2026 F1 season will wrap up at the Hungarian GP this weekend, with this being the last race before the month-long summer break kicks off. All teams will have to stop working on their cars for two weeks in August as part of F1’s mandatory shutdown before the season resumes once again at Zandvoort on August 23. 

There’s plenty more motorsport action in store with F2, Formula E and DTM rounds coming up as well. Here’s our ultimate guide for when and where to tune in from India.

F1 Hungarian GP schedule

F1 Hungarian GP schedule IST

Kimi Antonelli extended his championship lead after winning the Belgian GP. George Russell’s championship bid, however, took a big hit following his retirement. Mercedes later revealed that Russell was struggling with an undiagnosed straight-line speed deficit at Spa. The Hungaroring’s lack of straights should help mitigate this issue a bit, and Russell will be looking for a strong weekend to get his title bid back on track.

Hungaroring is also expected to be a strong track for Ferrari, with the SF-26 proving to be more competitive on less power-sensitive tracks. Aston Martin, meanwhile, is expected to bring some significant updates as it looks to salvage what has been a difficult season so far.

Formula E has been racing at Tokyo since 2024. However, the races will have a new look this year as they will be hosted at night for the very first time. 

With just four more races to go, Porsche’s Pascal Wehrlein currently holds the overall lead, 9 points ahead of Jaguar’s Mitch Evans and 27 points clear of Nissan’s Oliver Rowland. Jaguar holds the advantage in the team’s championship, but Porsche is just six points behind. So the Tokyo double-header could very well shake up the order. India’s Mahindra Racing, meanwhile, is P4 overall, just two points behind Andretti.

Hyundai i20 crosses 15 lakh unit sales milestone

Hyundai i20

The Hyundai i20 has crossed the 15 lakh sales milestone in India, nearly 18 years after it first went on sale in December 2008. The premium hatchback reached the 1 lakh sales mark in 2010, crossed 5 lakh units in 2015, and hit the 10 lakh milestone in 2019.

Hyundai i20 generations so far

Its first-generation replaced the Hyundai Getz and played a key role in creating the premium hatchback segment in India. Depending on the trim and model year, it came with features such as a sunroof, automatic climate control, a cooled glovebox and six airbags. Buyers could choose between 1.2-litre petrol, 1.4-litre petrol and 1.4-litre diesel engine options.

First generation Hyundai i20

The carmaker introduced the second-generation model, called the Elite i20, in 2014. It featured the brand’s ‘Fluidic Sculpture 2.0’ design language, added more features and offered 1.2-litre petrol and diesel engine choices. Notably, the Elite i20 proved to be the most successful generation of the hatchback, recording sales of 8 lakh units during its seven-year run in the country.

Second generation Hyundai i20

The third-generation of the hatchback arrived in 2020 and remains on sale today. It is the first i20 generation in India to be offered with a turbo-petrol engine, although that is now limited to the sportier N Line version. Hyundai also offered a diesel engine initially, but it was discontinued in 2023. The current generation i20 received a facelift in September 2023 and continues to be one of the most feature-rich offerings in its segment.

Third generation Hyundai i20
Third-generation Hyundai i20.

Today, the standard i20 is powered by an 83hp 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, paired with either a 5-speed manual or a CVT automatic. Whereas, the i20 N Line uses a 120hp 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, available with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox.

Hyundai i20 price and rivals

The Hyundai i20 is priced between Rs 6 lakh and Rs 10.63 lakh, ex-showroom, while the i20 N Line costs Rs 9.27 lakh to Rs 11.74 lakh. Its rivals include the Maruti Baleno, Toyota Glanza and Tata Altroz. Hyundai unveiled the fourth-generation i20 in June 2026, although the company has not yet announced plans to bring it to India.

Market outlook : लाल निशान में बंद हुआ बाजार, जानिए 27 जुलाई को कैसी रह सकती है इसकी चाल

Market outlook :24 जुलाई को भारतीय इक्विटी इंडेक्स कमजोरी के साथ बंद हुए और निफ्टी 23,800 के नीचे चला गया। मार्केट बंद होने पर सेंसेक्स 331.62 अंक या 0.43 प्रतिशत गिरकर 76,059.77 पर और निफ्टी 102.15 अंक या 0.43 प्रतिशत गिरकर 23,767.45 पर बंद हुआ। लगभग 2050 शेयरों में बढ़त हुई,1961 शेयरों में गिरावट आई और 196 शेयरों में कोई बदलाव नहीं हुआ। निफ्टी में सबसे ज़्यादा गिरने वाले शेयरों में बजाज फाइनेंस,एटरनल, M&M, श्रीराम फाइनेंस और भारती एयरटेल शामिल रहे। जबकि बढ़ने वाले शेयरों में HCL टेक्नोलॉजीज,विप्रो,सिप्ला,ITC और HDFC लाइफ शामिल रहे।

सेक्टर के हिसाब से परफॉर्मेंस मिली-जुली रही। निफ्टी मीडिया सबसे ज्यादा बढ़त वाला सेक्टर रहा,जिसमें 1.8% की तेजी आई। इसके बाद निफ्टी IT (0.8% ऊपर),निफ्टी PSU बैंक (0.5% ऊपर)और निफ्टी बैंक (0.18% ऊपर)रहे।

दूसरी ओर निफ्टी ऑटो सबसे खराब परफॉर्मेंस वाला सेक्टर रहा,जिसमें 1.10% की गिरावट आई। इसके बाद निफ्टी मेटल (0.55% नीचे),निफ्टी एनर्जी (0.57% नीचे),निफ्टी रियल्टी (0.55% नीचे),निफ्टी ऑयल एंड गैस (0.46% नीचे),निफ्टी फार्मा (0.4% नीचे) और निफ्टी इंफ्रा (0.4% नीचे) रहे।

ब्रॉडर मार्केट भी अपने इंट्राडे निचले स्तरों से सुधरे। निफ्टी मिडकैप 100 बिना किसी बड़े बदलाव के बंद हुआ,जबकि निफ्टी स्मॉलकैप 100 में 0.3 प्रतिशत की गिरावट आई।

जियोजित इन्वेस्टमेंट्स में हेड ऑफ़ रिसर्च,विनोद नायर ने कहा कि आने वाले समय में मार्केट का सेंटीमेंट खराब रह सकता है। तेल की कीमतें ऊंचे स्तर पर बनी रहने से मेन मैक्रो-इकोनॉमिक इंडिकेटर्स और ग्रोथ पर बुरा असर पड़ सकता है। क्रूड ऑयल की कीमतें संकट के समय के अपने पीक से काफी नीचे होने के बावजूद US 10-ईयर बॉन्ड यील्ड 52-हफ्ते के हाई पर पहुंच गए हैं। यह बॉन्ड मार्केट की उन चिंताओं को दिखाता है जो एनर्जी से जुड़ी महंगाई के जोखिम,मजबूत लेबर मार्केट की स्थिति और फेड के लगातार सख़्त रुख (hawkish stance) से जुड़ी हैं।

इन वजहों से सितंबर में ब्याज दरें बढ़ने की संभावना बढ़ गई है। इंपोर्ट पर वॉशिंगटन के नए टैरिफ ने एक्सपोर्ट पर निर्भर अर्थव्यवस्थाओं के लिए मुश्किलें बढ़ा दी हैं। टेक्नोलॉजी इंटेसिव मार्केट पर इसका सबसे ज्यादा असर पड़ा है,क्योंकि ग्रोथ पर ऊंची दरों का दबाव है और निवेशक दूसरे उभरते हुए मार्केट की ओर रुख करके जोखिम कम करने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं। हालांकि अच्छे वैल्यूएशन और क्रेडिट ग्रोथ की उम्मीदों के चलते बैंक निफ्टी का प्रदर्शन बेहतर रहा।

निफ्टी का आउटलुक

SBI सिक्योरिटीज में हेड-टेक्निकल एंड डेरिवेटिव्स रिसर्च सुदीप शाह का कहना है कि आगे निफ्टी के लिए तत्काल सपोर्ट 23650-23600 के जोन में दिख रहा है। अगर निफ्टी इस जोन के नीचे टिकता है,तो इसमें और गिरावट आ सकती है और यह शॉर्ट टर्म में 23450 और फिर 23300 तक जा सकता है। ऊपर की तरफ,निफ्टी के लिए तकाल रेजिस्टेंस 23950-24000 के जोन में है,जो 50-दिन के EMA के साथ मेल खाता है।

HDFC Bank Share Price : HDFC बैंक पर पड़ी अमेरिका में हो रही जांच की मार,1% टूटा शेयर

बैंक निफ्टी का आउटलुक

सुदीप शाह ने कहा कि बैंक निफ्टी में भी निफ्टी जैसी ही शुरुआती कमजोरी दिखी। यह निचले स्तर पर खुला और नीचे की ओर गया,लेकिन फिर इंट्राडे के निचले स्तरों से तेज रिकवरी हुई जिससे नुकसान की भरपाई हो गई। इस रिकवरी की वजह से डेली चार्ट पर एक बड़ी बुलिश कैंडल बनी और इंडेक्स ने अपना 200-डे का EMA फिर से हासिल कर लिया,जो ट्रेडर्स के लिए एक अहम लॉन्ग-टर्म सपोर्ट लेवल है।

आगे बैंक निफ्टी के लिए तत्काल रेजिस्टेंस 57100-57200 जोन में है। अगर यह इस जोन के ऊपर टिकता है तो बैंक निफ्टी अपनी रिकवरी को 57600 और उसके बाद शॉर्ट टर्म में 58000 तक बढ़ा सकता है। नीचे की तरफ,बैंक निफ्टी के लिए तत्काल सपोर्ट 56300-56200 जोन में है।

CJP का बड़ा दावा: धर्मेंद्र प्रधान के इस्तीफे पर सरकार ने मांगा एक दिन का वक्त, कल होगा बड़ा फैसला!

राजधानी दिल्ली के जंतर मंतर पर नीट पेपर लीक के मुद्दे पर छात्रों का प्रदर्शन जारी है। कॉकरोच जनता पार्टी का बीते 20 जून से प्रदर्शन जारी है। वहीं इस प्रदर्शन के बीच कॉकरोच जनता पार्टी और सरकार के बीच शुक्रवार को दिल्ली के कॉन्स्टिट्यूशन क्लब में बैठक हुई। इसमें सरकार की तरफ से केंद्रीय मंत्री जेपी नड्डा, जितेंद्र सिंह और CJP की तरफ से सौरभ दास, आशुतोष रांका शामिल हुए।

बैठक के बाद CJP के प्रवक्ताओं ने कहा,’हम धर्मेंद्र प्रधान के इस्तीफे पर कोई समझौता नहीं करेंगे। दो घंटे की बातचीत में CJP ने सरकार के सामने 3 प्रमुख मांगें और परीक्षा प्रणाली में सुधार के 5 सुझाव रखे हैं।’

 सरकार के सामने सीजेपी ने रखे तीन मांग

वहीं बैठक के बाद सीजेपी ने दावा किया कि केंद्र सरकार ने उनकी सबसे बड़ी मांग, यानी केंद्रीय शिक्षा मंत्री धर्मेंद्र प्रधान के इस्तीफे पर जवाब देने के लिए शनिवार दोपहर तक का समय मांगा है। बैठक के बाद मीडिया से बात करते हुए सीजेपी के मुख्य प्रवक्ता सौरव दास ने कहा कि प्रतिनिधिमंडल ने सरकार के सामने अपनी सभी मांगें रखीं। उन्होंने बताया कि सबसे पहली मांग केंद्रीय शिक्षा मंत्री धर्मेंद्र प्रधान के इस्तीफे की है।

सौरव दास ने कहा कि पार्टी ने उन परिवारों को मुआवजा देने की भी मांग की है, जिन्होंने नीट परीक्षा विवाद के बाद अपने बच्चों को खो दिया। इसके अलावा, जुलाई में हुए विरोध प्रदर्शनों में शामिल छात्रों और युवाओं के खिलाफ कोई एफआईआर या कानूनी मामला दर्ज न करने की मांग की गई है। अगर पहले से ऐसे मामले दर्ज हैं, तो उन्हें वापस लेने की भी मांग की गई है।

सीजेपी ने किया ये दावा

सीजेपी का दावा है कि सरकार ने उनकी दो मांगों पर सकारात्मक रुख दिखाया है। इनमें नीट विवाद से प्रभावित परिवारों को मुआवजा देने और शांतिपूर्ण प्रदर्शन में शामिल छात्रों व युवाओं के खिलाफ कोई कानूनी कार्रवाई न करने की मांग शामिल है। हालांकि, पार्टी के मुख्य प्रवक्ता सौरव दास ने कहा कि केंद्रीय शिक्षा मंत्री धर्मेंद्र प्रधान के इस्तीफे की मांग पर सरकार ने फैसला लेने के लिए थोड़ा और समय मांगा है। सौरव दास ने कहा, “धर्मेंद्र प्रधान के इस्तीफे के मुद्दे पर सरकार के साथ विस्तार से बातचीत हुई है। सरकार ने इस पर जवाब देने के लिए कल तक का समय मांगा है। अगर इस्तीफा नहीं दिया गया, तो हमारा आंदोलन और तेज किया जाएगा।”

केंद्र सरकार ने अभी तक सीजेपी की ओर से बैठक के बाद किए गए दावों की आधिकारिक पुष्टि नहीं की है। यह बैठक नई दिल्ली के विठ्ठल पटेल हाउस में हुई थी। इसमें केंद्रीय मंत्री जेपी नड्डा और जितेंद्र सिंह के साथ सीजेपी के मुख्य प्रवक्ता सौरव दास और राष्ट्रीय प्रवक्ता आशुतोष रंका शामिल हुए। सीजेपी का कहना है कि वह बातचीत के लिए तब तैयार हुई, जब सरकार ने उसकी दो अहम शर्तों पर सहमति जताई। इनमें शांतिपूर्ण प्रदर्शन करने वाले छात्रों और युवाओं के खिलाफ कोई कानूनी कार्रवाई न करना और परीक्षा विवाद से प्रभावित परिवारों को उचित मुआवजा देना शामिल है। हालांकि, पार्टी ने साफ कहा है कि केंद्रीय शिक्षा मंत्री धर्मेंद्र प्रधान का इस्तीफा उनकी सबसे बड़ी मांग है और इस मुद्दे पर कोई समझौता नहीं किया जाएगा।

शनिवार को फिर होगी बातचीत

बैठक के बाद केंद्रीय मंत्री जेपी नड्डा ने बताया कि सरकार और सीजेपी के प्रतिनिधियों के बीच करीब दो घंटे तक बातचीत हुई। इस दौरान सीजेपी की मांगों और देश की परीक्षा व्यवस्था में सुधार के सुझावों पर चर्चा की गई। उन्होंने कहा कि यह बातचीत शनिवार को भी जारी रहेगी। जेपी नड्डा ने कहा, “सीजेपी का प्रतिनिधिमंडल हमसे मिलने आया था। हमने उनकी सभी बातें ध्यान से सुनीं और कई मुद्दों पर चर्चा की। अब शनिवार दोपहर फिर बैठक होगी, जिसमें बातचीत को आगे बढ़ाया जाएगा।”

उन्होंने बताया कि सीजेपी ने सरकार के सामने अपनी तीन प्रमुख मांगें रखीं। इसके अलावा परीक्षा प्रणाली को बेहतर बनाने के लिए पांच सुझाव भी दिए। जेपी नड्डा ने कहा, “करीब दो घंटे तक बैठक चली। हमने प्रतिनिधिमंडल से कहा है कि शनिवार दोपहर फिर मुलाकात होगी। तब तक सरकार इन मांगों और सुझावों पर चर्चा करेगी और उन्हें अपना जवाब देगी।”

Kia Syros EV vs Maruti e Vitara: Whose top-spec trim offers more value?

Kia Syros EV vs Maruti e Vitara top trim

Kia India has officially launched its second mass-market electric car, the Syros EV. While the sub-4m Syros EV directly rivals the Tata Nexon EV and Mahindra XUV 3XO, the Kia’s pricing sees quite a bit of overlap with that of the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara, which is of a segment above. In fact, the top-spec trims of both electric SUVs are identically priced. Therefore, we compared the top-spec versions of the Syros EV and e Vitara on paper to determine which electric SUV offers more bang for your buck.

Expectedly, the Syros EV is 280mm shorter overall (150mm shorter wheelbase) than the e Vitara, but interestingly, the Kia compact SUV is 5mm wider and 30mm taller. Neither Kia nor Maruti Suzuki quote precise boot space figures for their respective electric SUVs, but it’s worth noting that the Syros EV comes with a 16-litre frunk, while the e Vitara completely lacks storage space up front. However, the top-spec e Vitara does get larger alloy wheels than the equivalent Syros EV.

The Syros EV’s battery pack is almost 10kWh smaller than that of the e Vitara, but the Kia is only 17km behind in terms of ARAI-claimed range. Both electric SUVs are front-wheel drive and make similar amounts of power, but the Syros EV edges ahead by a significant 62Nm in terms of torque output. This is partly why the Syros EV claims a 0.6sec quicker 0-100kph time than that of the e Vitara.

Kia Syros EV vs Maruti Suzuki e Vitara: Top trim charging speeds

Kia and Maruti Suzuki quote AC charging speeds at different wattages, so the Syros EV and e Vitara can’t be directly compared on this front. However, it’s noteworthy that though the e Vitara has a larger battery than the Syros EV, the former takes roughly the same amount of time for a 10-100 percent charge at 7.4kW as the latter does at 11kW. Coming to DC charging, the Syros EV supports up to 100kW, while the e Vitara tops out at 70kW.

Both electric SUVs are quite evenly matched in terms of exterior features, but the Syros EV takes the lead by way of roof rails and door-mounted puddle lamps that project the Kia logo. The Syros EV has flush door handles too, but some may appreciate the e Vitara’s conventional door handles more. Colours are a square win for the e Vitara, as it offers six monotone options and four dual-tone finishes. The Syros X-Line ER can be had in either Aurora Black Pearl or Matte Graphite, both of which are difficult to maintain. Buyers who want other colours have no option but to consider lower-spec Syros EV variants.

Even on the inside, the Syros EV’s feature set comes out on top. Over the e Vitara, the Syros EV packs larger infotainment and instrument displays, an additional screen for climate control settings, a panoramic sunroof, rear sunshades, and ventilation for the rear seat bases – this feature is not available even in electric SUVs a segment above the Syros EV. The e Vitara’s only advantage over the Syros EV is a greater gamut of electrical adjustment for the driver’s seat.

Both the Syros EV and e Vitara come with three drive modes and adaptive cruise control, but the Kia SUV inches forward thanks to vehicle-to-load (V2L) functionality, which lets you power external devices from the battery pack. The Syros EV also offers paddle shifters to cycle through the regenerative braking levels, while the e Vitara makes do with just a knob on the centre console. However, the e Vitara does offer a Snow terrain mode over the Syros EV.

Coming to safety, the e Vitara finally scores a win. It’s the only one here to come with seven airbags and rain-sensing wipers, whereas the Syros EV sets itself apart with side parking sensors. The e Vitara also holds a 5-star crash safety rating from Bharat NCAP, while the Syros EV has not been tested yet. It’s worth noting, though, that the ICE-powered Syros was awarded 5 stars by Bharat NCAP, so a similar rating for the compact SUV’s electric derivative is very possible.

Kia Syros EV vs Maruti Suzuki e Vitara: Top trim prices

Syros EV for buyers seeking features, e Vitara for those who want a bigger car

e Vitara

Price (Rs, lakh)20.0019.99

As noted previously, there is next to no difference in the pricing of the Syros EV X-Line ER and e Vitara Alpha, which means the final decision comes down to your needs and preferences. If you want as many features as possible, are fine with a dark colour, and don’t mind smaller dimensions and funkier styling, the Syros EV X-Line ER is the one to go for. On the other hand, if you want the price you pay to be reflected in the size of the car, more choice in colours, more conventional looks, and are happy to forgo some features, you can consider the e Vitara.

It’s also worth noting that both the Syros EV and e Vitara can be purchased with battery-as-a-service (BaaS), which converts the cost of the battery into separate usage-based EMIs, thereby lowering the upfront cost. Kia has yet to reveal the BaaS price of the Syros EV X-Line ER, but the e Vitara Alpha costs Rs 14.49 lakh – Rs 5.5 lakh off the sticker price – with a Rs 4.39/km battery usage fee.

FMSCI granted National Sports Federation status

FMSCI National Sports Federation

The FMSCI (Federation of Motor Sports Club of India) has been provisionally recognised as a National Sports Federation (NSF) by the Sports Ministry. This move strengthens the motorsport governing body’s standing in India, as the government pushes to grow the racing ecosystem and bring more international events like F1 back to the country. 

  1. FMSCI now eligible for financial grants
  2. Dedicated task force set up to asses India’s motorsport ecosystem

What does NSF status mean for Indian motorsport?

Headed by Arindam Ghosh, the FMSCI had applied for NSF status on June 11, 2026. As per an order dated July 23, 2026, the Sports Ministry has approved this request provisionally after relaxing some norms regarding minimum affiliation required for state units. 
NSF status means that the FMSCI is now eligible for financial grants from the Sports Ministry. As part of the process, FMSCI has been directed to amend its constitution and Memorandum of Association to align with the provisions of the National Sports Governance Act, 2025. The Ministry has also reserved the right to revoke the recognition should the federation fail to comply with its guidelines.

Last month, Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya had announced plans to set up a dedicated task force to assess the motorsport ecosystem in India. “The Task Force will evaluate the international, economic, tourism, and investment benefits arising from hosting major motorsport events in India. It will also identify key priorities, infrastructure requirements, and operational needs necessary for the sustainable development of the sector and submit its recommendations to the Sports Ministry,” Mandaviya added. 

The push to bring F1 back to India

F1 Indian GP

The FMSCI being granted NSF status comes amid renewed momentum around India’s motorsport ambitions, particularly the possible return of the F1 Indian GP. The Adani Group, currently in the running to acquire the Buddh International Circuit (BIC), has confirmed it is exploring plans to revive the race at the venue, which hosted the Indian GP from 2011 to 2013 before it was dropped from the calendar. That was largely due to the Uttar Pradesh government’s taxation policy at the time, which classified F1 as entertainment rather than sport.

While Mandaviya had earlier suggested the Indian GP could return as soon as 2027, F1 has maintained that this timeline isn’t realistic, noting that organising races is a complex, time-intensive process.

In a recent interaction with FanCode, Formula 1 CEO and president Stefano Domenicali confirmed that there is indeed “big interest” from the championship to return to India. But he also cautioned that a revival of the Indian GP is still several years away and will require several conditions to be met. 

“It is very important to say that we need to feel the interest from all the stakeholders of India because this is a project that, when we reach back to your country, has to be big,” explained Domenicali. “It has to be the right one, with the right level of investment and the right level of people, because your market is just phenomenal. I just want to guarantee that we’re going to be there for sure one day and in the right condition.”
