The second Formula E race in India was due to take place on 10 February but the staging of the event was cast into doubt last week after the championship acknowledged it was "seeking urgent clarification" after receiving a letter sent by the new Government of Telangana that "could impact the Hyderabad race".
It was officially confirmed on Friday by the championship that the race would not be taking place, citing "a decision by the Municipal Administration and Urban Development Department (MAUD), under the control of the Government of Telangana, not to fulfil the Host City Agreement".
