2024 Formula E Hyderabad E-Prix cancelled

Formula E is likely to pursue action for the "breach of contract" by the state government.

Formula E has confirmed that the 2024 Hyderbad E-Prix has been cancelled. The race was scheduled to be held on February 10. 

In an official statement released by Formula E, the organisers revealed that the race was cancelled after the government of Telangana decided not to fulfil the Host City Agreement signed on October 30, 2023.

“The cancellation comes following a decision by the Municipal Administration and Urban Development Department (MAUD), under the control of the Government of Telangana, not to fulfil the Host City Agreement signed on 30 October 2023,” the statement read.

Formula E is likely to pursue action for the "breach of contract" by the state government.

“Formula E Operations (FEO) has been left with no choice other than to formally give notice to MAUD that it is in breach of contract. FEO is considering its position and what steps it may take under the Host City Agreement and applicable laws. All of FEO’s rights in that regard are reserved.”

The organizing team for the Hyderabad E-Prix was disbanded in August, raising doubts on whether the race would return in 2024. Now, with the race officially cancelled, Formula E does not intend to replace it, leaving a 7-week gap between the Diriyah and Sao Paulo races.
