'''India's Cup''' is a motor rally made famous for being the first organized adventure tour to use the iconic [[Hindustan Ambassador]] as its flagship vehicle in 2008. According to the lead organizer, Princely J., the [[adventure tourism]] rally has been conducted five times a year since 2008 along predetermined routes. On each occasion, the participants are given the route, the destinations, and some advice and recommendations, but remain free to travel at their own pace.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/metroplus/an-amby-adventure/article6834889.ece|title=An Amby adventure|date=2015-01-29|newspaper=The Hindu|language=en-IN|issn=0971-751X|access-date=2016-04-20}}</ref><br />

== Background ==<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
India's [[Hindustan Motors]] has cancelled the production of the Hindustan Ambassador in 2014, remaining as one of the most easily recognized automobiles in India. This is largely because since its production began in 1957, it had been the most popular and well-known car in India for decades, with the manufacturer holding a 70 per cent share of the market.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/end-of-the-road-for-hindustan-ambassador-9442244.html|title=End of the road for Hindustan Ambassador|website=The Independent|language=en-GB|access-date=2016-04-20}}</ref> India's Cup, created in 2008 alongside the [[Indian Autorickshaw Challenge]] by the same adventure tourism operator, is 2,389 km (1,484 miles) long. The starting point is in [[Chennai]], with the route crossing the country to the finish line in Panjim, [[Goa]] 11 days later. <br />
