Concerns ahead of Indian GP

The TIMES OF INDIA's Devadyuti Das reported "the issue of custom duty on import of F1 cars and equipment made the teams wary ahead of the race last year," and JPSI had to deposit close to Rs 600 crore "as duty for the equipment to pass through customs." Sources said, "The tax issues were a major concern for all the teams and these were communicated to Bernie. We are trying to approach the sports ministry through FMSCI President [Vicki] Chandhok to find a long-term solution." Times of India
