Formula E could be heading to India for season five or season six of the championship, as the FIA revealed they are considering a race in the country. 

It is believed that a street race in either Delhi, Mumbai or Bangalore is currently under consideration with initial talks between each of the local authorities having already taken place. 

If the event gets the green light, it is likely to be held in the 2018/2019 season adding on to the Asian rounds of the championship which include China, Malaysia and Hong Kong. 

Mahindra Racing, an Indian Team in the championship, has begun work on trying to help Indian officials bring a race to India. 

The team recently showcased their cars at the Buddh International Circuit, as they did a drag race against Mahindra’s Moto 3 bike, while drivers Bruno Senna and Nick Heidfeld also performed some crowd-pleasing donuts. 

Dilbagh Gill, the Team Principal of Mahindra Racing, is hopeful that a race can take place within the country soon and that talks are going in the right direction. 

“What we are trying to do with the demo run, and what Anand Mahindra and Pawan Goenka said, is that we intend to bring a race to India.  We want to bring it as quickly as we can.  We are talking with the right people.  As long as we’ve got the minds behind it, the infrastructure shouldn’t be a problem.  The promoters know how to host a race, they know how to bring the infrastructure whether, in Delhi, Mumbai or Bangalore, we won’t have a problem in hosting a race,” said Gill.
