Force India F1 Team co-owner Dr. Vijay Mallya declared that India will be ready to host a Formula One Grand Prix in 2010 and this as there are concrete plans for a circuit just outside New Dehli. Construction will begin on the 1st of October.

Dr. Vijay Mallya said: "I happened to be having lunch with the CEO of one of India's biggest banks and he confirmed to me that they had sanctioned a facility to the development of the Indian track, that he has actually bought the land and on October 1st. Construction of a brand new track will begin and so for the first time, now I think I feel very confident to be able to say to you that there will be a brand new track and that we will have our first Grand Prix in 2010. It's just outside New Delhi."
