The Formula 1 circuit at Jaypee Integarted Sports Complex in Greater Noida for the Indian Grand Prix has been named as Buddh International Circuit (BIC). 


The 5.14 Km circuit has been designed by Herman Tilke. The 1st Indian Grand Prix will happen on October 28-30 2011. The approximate cost to develop the circuit has been $400 million.


The circuit's official logo has been designed by Prasoon Joshi. The stylized ‘B’ of the circuit’s logo stands for ‘Buddh’ and for ‘Bharat'.


It is said that the initial seating capacity would be 110,000 which can later be increased to 200,000. Jaypee Greens Sports City, where this circuit is situated, plans to host a 100,000 seat cricket stadium, 18-hole golf course, 25,000 seat hockey stadium and a sports academy.
