In the recent past, it was reported that Formula E CEO Jamie Reigle could be evaluating to bring Formula E to India. This will help solidify the motorsports culture in India which in all honesty still lags behind amongst other sports. Formula E is likely to become part of the Indian calendar from 2022. But it all depends on the travel restriction and local law enforcement rules due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
