Calendar
All events were held in India and run in tandem with the Indian Racing League. The provisional schedule was announced on 9 July 2025,[27][28] with a street race in Goa added on 10 September 2025.[29] One month later, the competition on 1–2 November in Mormugao was postponed and moved after the protests of the local community, ultimately replaced by races at the Kari Motor Speedway.[30][28] The final round was scheduled to take place at another brand-new street circuit in Navi Mumbai[31], but another change of calendar saw it being moved to the Madras International Circuit.
