2025 Formula Bharat
Formula Bharat is part of a global competition wherein engineering students conceptualise and build formula-style prototype race cars, which are then tested on track. Out of all the countries in the South Asian region, the Indian competition is the only one featured in the Formula Student world rankings.
Over the six days, the student teams will be judged across static and dynamic parameters such as design, cost, manufacturing, business plans, skid pad, acceleration, autocross, and endurance. Teams have also been coordinating with the organisers over the past few months regarding the design, cost and even mechanical aspects of their prototypes.
