India, with its large population of over 1.4 billion and more than 200 million motorcycles, is a significant market for MotoGP and its partners. The country sees nearly 75% of its vehicles being two-wheelers.

Manoj Kumar Singh, Chief Secretary-cum-Infrastructure & Industrial Development Commissioner, Government of UP, emphasized the monumental significance of this agreement: "Bringing MotoGP to Uttar Pradesh not only elevates our state on the global sports stage but also catalyzes substantial economic growth across tourism, hospitality, and associated sectors. This event will magnetize visitors worldwide, spotlighting Uttar Pradesh's prowess in hosting world-class sporting extravaganzas."

The inaugural Grand Prix at Buddh International Circuit drew over 100,000 fans, showcasing a strong interest in MotoGP. This new agreement between Dorna Sports, the rights holder of MotoGP and Uttar Pradesh aims to build on this enthusiasm and expand the sport's presence in India.

Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of Dorna Sports, said: “We’re very happy to announce this new agreement made directly with the government of Uttar Pradesh. The inaugural Indian Grand Prix was a key success and brought an enormous amount of value to both MotoGP and our host region of UP, so it’s fantastic we are able to continue building that together into the future.

“India is an essential market for MotoGP, with a healthy, established audience for the racing, and one we know we can increase exponentially. There are also hundreds of millions of two-wheeled vehicles used across the country every day, making it vital for our manufacturers and for the sport itself thanks to MotoGP’s position as the pinnacle of two wheels" Ezpeleta further added.
