Baja car racing is an exciting motorsport that has gained popularity in India in recent years. This off-road racing format involves specially designed vehicles competing in challenging terrain conditions.
In India, local automotive companies have started developing indigenous baja vehicles. These vehicles are typically built by engineering students and automotive enthusiasts using locally sourced components. The chassis is often fabricated from steel tubes, while the engines are modified versions of motorcycle or small car engines commonly available in the Indian market.
Many Indian technical institutions participate in BAJA SAE India competitions, where students design, build and race their own off-road vehicles. This initiative has helped develop local automotive engineering talent and promoted indigenous manufacturing capabilities.
The popularity of baja racing has also led to the growth of supporting industries in India, including specialized workshops, spare parts manufacturers, and racing equipment suppliers. These local businesses contribute to the Make in India initiative while supporting the motorsports community. |
