The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) has proposed a 200-acre site to Ducati for establishing India's first dedicated motorcycle race track. This initiative is part of YEIDA's broader strategy to enhance the country's motorsport infrastructure and attract global automotive brands.

The proposed location, situated in the rapidly developing region of Uttar Pradesh, is intended to be a state-of-the-art facility that will cater to both professional racing and recreational use. The track aims to become a central hub for motorcycle racing enthusiasts and a key venue for national and international competitions.

This move by YEIDA aligns with India's growing interest in motorsports and reflects the government's commitment to developing world-class sports infrastructure. By hosting Ducati, a renowned global motorcycle brand, YEIDA hopes to not only elevate the country's racing standards but also stimulate economic growth and job creation in the region.

The development of this race track is expected to foster local talent, boost tourism, and position India as a competitive player in the global motorsport arena. Ducati's involvement underscores the potential of the Indian market and sets a precedent for future investments in the country's sporting and recreational infrastructure.
