Among these, there are two Indian teams in the championship, namely the Mahindra Racing and Jaguar TCS Racing Team. Sharing excitement about the Formula-E Championship being held in India and the participation of his team in the race, the Mahindra Group owner wrote on Twitter, "After 8 years of racing around the world, we finally get our home race! @FIAFormulaE is coming to India for the first time. Thanks @ktrbrs & @GreenkoIndia
for this."

Formula-E started as a racing game for electric-powered cars in 2014. The series stands apart from other motorsports since it only holds competitions in street circuit locations and exclusively employs electric-powered vehicles.  Street circuits in world-famous cities, including Paris, Hong Kong, New York, and Berlin, are used for Formula E races. Audi, BMW, Jaguar, and Porsche are just a few of the brands whose vehicles are used in Formula E.
