The India round of the MotoGP championship will not not take place on the scheduled date in September and instead has been moved to March 2025, local promoters of the race told PTI on Tuesday.

Reports claiming that the race promoters had not cleared all their dues with rights holders Dorna after the inaugural round last year had led to uncertainty over the second edition scheduled from September 20-22.

However, after Tuesday's meeting involving all stakeholders - Dorna, and, co-promoters Fairstreet Sports and Uttar Pradesh government - it was decided to shift the round to a yet to be decided date in March. "It was mutually decided to shift the race to March next year. We are looking at first or second week of March," Fairstreet Sports CEO Pushkar Nath Srivastava told PTI.
