Expressing its desire to host the 2036 Olympic and Paralympic Games, India has formally submitted a ‘Letter of Intent’ to the International Olympic Committee’s Future Host Commission.
This is India’s first concrete step in an ambitious plan after months of informal dialogue with the IOC, reported PTI.
According to a sports ministry source, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) submitted the LOI on 1 October.
“This monumental opportunity could bring substantial benefits, fostering economic growth, social progress, and youth empowerment across the country,” PTI quoted the source as saying.
In 2023, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had first talked about his government’s aspiration to host the 2036 Olympics.
