Hyderabad: Formula E has officially canceled its second race scheduled in Hyderabad, India, which was set to take place next month. The decision comes after the Telangana authorities, specifically the Municipal Administration and Urban Development Department (MAUD), chose not to fulfill the Host City Agreement signed on October 30, 2023. Formula E Operations (FEO) had no alternative but to formally notify MAUD of the breach of contract.
FEO is currently evaluating its options and potential actions under the Host City Agreement and relevant laws, reserving all rights in this regard. The Hyderabad E-Prix, part of a multi-year agreement between Formula E and the Government of Telangana, was slated to be the only official FIA World Championship event in India for 2024. The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship for Season 10 will continue in other confirmed host cities, including Tokyo, Shanghai, Berlin, Monaco, and London, with the season kicking off on January 13 with the Hankook Mexico City E-Prix.
