The three-day championship will comprise of three main race events – the Super Sports Indian (165cc and 300-400cc), Pro-Stock, and Stock 165. Other than these, spectators will also be able to witness three One Make championships from TVS (Apache RTR 200), Suzuki (the Gixxer Cup) and Honda (CBR 150 and 250).
Moreover, just like the previous round, this one will also see two support races in the Superbike (600-1000cc) category, along with two more races by Honda and Alisha Abdullah Racing Academy – meant only for women riders.

In the above-mentioned category, Jagan heads the 165cc season ranking with an 18-point lead over RACR’s Deepak Ravikumar. Behind these two is TVS Racing’s Harry Silvester. However, Sarath Kumar, Rajini Krishnan, and K.Y. Ahmed aren’t far behind in the points chase.
In the Pro-Stock category, Hari Krishnan of Honda Ten10 heads the pack, thanks to his winning streak in all the four previous races that took place in the last two rounds. He is followed by RACR’s Dinesh Kumar and Honda Racing’s Rajiv Sethu, with only one point separating them.
