Buddh International Circuit will be the fifth track to hold this distinction."

Speaking about the safety features of the track and the FIM and FIA licensing, Srivatstava said, "Internationally-renowned racetrack design firm Driven International and their local partner, Solitaire Group, along with FairStreet Sports and the circuit developer (Jai Prakash Associates), will sart to change the track so that the circuit will achieve the FIM certification and retain its FIA certification. The track changes will also enhance the safety aspects."

Some new safety features include larger gravel traps at a few corners and extra safety barriers for the betterment of the bikers. Also, around a few corners, curbs have been removed and in other corners they have been added. Additionally, fencing has been moved further away to keep the bikes safe.

Speaking about the event, the CEO of YEIDA said, "The highly anticipated event will likely stimulate economic activity of Rs. 1,000 Crore in the state, especially in Greater Noida, and create job opportunities for approximately 5,000. The ticket sales will likely contribute nearly Rs. 100 Crore. The seating capacity of the circuit is 1.06 Lakh spectators."
