The Indian Photo Festival, which will start on August 19, will be used as a platform for building and marketing the Formula E race which will be held on February 11, 2023, Special Chief Secretary (Municipal Administration and Urban Development) and Director General NIUM Arvind Kumar said on Wednesday.
As international photographers will be participating in the month-long photo exhibition, showcasing the work of several photographers from 85 countries across the globe, they might also get to cover the Formula E team and vehicles, he said.
The race will be held on a 2.37-km track in and around the under-construction Secretariat Complex, going through Lumbini Park near Hussainsagar Lake. “We are not going to remove the medians as there as fully grown trees and the committee has agreed to it. However, as per their suggestions, we might introduce more curves on the NTR Garden stretch, apart from removing the speed-breakers,” he said.
