The International Olympic Committee (IOC) says India is among seven countries that express interest in hosting the 2036 Olympic Games. The IOC statement indicates the selection process is already underway, with countries moving through a timeline that leads to shortlisted bidders and ultimately a final host decision.
According to the reports, the IOC plans to shortlist the interested countries in 2027. Preferred hosts are expected to be named in 2028, followed by a final decision in mid-2029. While outlets agree on India’s inclusion among the group of interested countries, they provide limited additional details on the other bidders and on how India’s candidacy is being assessed at this stage.
