Mahindra Racing Team Principal Dilbagh Gill is confident that a race in New Delhi could become a reality in season four

The Indian team have been working with local authorities to find a suitable location to bring Formula E to India’s capital.

Pollution Problems

Over the last couple of months, the air around New Delhi has been described and “ unhealthy ” and “ hazardous. ” Due to the large amounts of smog that covered the city. The Indian capital became the most polluted city in the world by the end of 2016.

Mahindra Racing’s Team Principal Dilbagh Gill is sure that Mahindra will pioneer new technology in India and across the globe. As they try and reduce the amount of pollution in New Delhi and other cities across the world.

“Mahindra are the only pure electric car manufacturer in India,” said Gill. “We take our role as a pioneer and leader in this very seriously. We also look at electric bicycles and electric scooters, and essentially we are committing in a big way to electric mobility as a whole.

“That’s something which we believe strongly in. From Formula E to bicycles, you will be seeing a lot more about how Mahindra is going to be contributing. Also, not only India but all the international markets we are servicing at this point.”

Race in New Delhi

A key way in showing the Indian people that electric technology is out there and ready to be used is by hosting an ePrix. Gill is confident that a race in New Dehli will take place soon, but work still needs to be done to make it a reality.

“Mahindra and all the other competitors in this championship are very keen to come to India. We have made some amount of progress talking to the government in India to have a race.

“Unfortunately, it’s a slightly slow process, but we are going to get there. Season four has a great possibility of having a race in Delhi, and we should be able to talk more about this in the next couple of months,” stated Gill.
