MMRT now has an upgraded pit lane with a newly constructed paddock building. 20 new pit garages have been added in addition to a spectator-viewing terrace and a set of VIP hospitality suites that can accommodate up to 400 people. A second paddock facility has been built on the western side of the track, which will allow MMSC to split the track and run two simultaneous races.

A new drag strip has also been constructed at MMRT. Additionally, MMSC also plans to construct a 7.5 km rally track at the facility. The plan is to start a driving academy that will be run by APRC champion Gaurav Gill.
