India puts its project on hold

Olympics 2032

Patience. India's candidacy for the Summer Games in 2032 has been announced for a long time. The Indians were even among the first to declare themselves. But the project is now put on hold. Narinder Batra (pictured above), the president of the Indian Olympic Committee, told the New indian express that the candidatures for the Olympic Games and the Commonwealth Games will no longer be relevant until next year. Certainly, India remains in contact with the IOC, as part of the new phase known as dialogue between the Olympic body and possible applicants. But the project is temporarily on hold. “ We have expressed our interest to the IOC. Then the health crisis arrived and everything was interrupted, explained Narinder Batra. We will have a meeting in the first quarter of next year. It will concern not only the Olympic Games, but also other major competitions, including perhaps the Commonwealth Games in 2030. We must move forward on concrete things to succeed in getting people involved. »
