Indian Supercross Racing League (ISRL), a franchise-based off-road motorcycle league, held the Season 2 launch of the competition in Mumbai. The event saw popular Indian actor Salman Khan further deepening his involvement with the event, by not only being the brand ambassador, but also his plans to become an investor in the league.

Furthermore, ISRL also aims to setup ‘ISRL Proving Grounds’, a dedicated grassroots motorsport development facility spread across 7 acres in Pune. It will offer amateur racing, kids’ track, motocross, supercross, ATVs and electric bikes among others.

ISRL, owned by Team Supercross India, is led by former international racers Veer Patel (two-time national SX Champion) and Eeshan Lokhande.

Salman Khan, said, “I’ve always been passionate about motorcycles and off-roading, when I saw what ISRL is building bringing together world-class talent, supporting home-grown athletes, and creating an entire ecosystem and lifestyle around the sport, I knew this was something I wanted to be part of, not just as a face, but as a believer. This league is about pushing boundaries, and that’s something I connect with deeply. With the launch of the ‘ISRL Proving Grounds’, we’re giving India’s youth the opportunity to access the support, tools and coaching they need to chase big dreams and compete on a global stage. At the same time, ISRL is equally focused on promoting responsible riding and the importance of safety for racers and fans.”

Veer Patel, Managing Director, ISRL, said, “Salman Khan’s evolution from brand ambassador to investor is a testament to his confidence in ISRL’s vision. This move brings unmatched cultural capital and mainstream trust to our league, reinforcing our positioning as a credible, scalable business built for India’s next generation. His association sends a clear message to the market that Supercross is ready to lead the future of motorsport, youth engagement and brand innovation in India.”

ISRL is positioning itself as India’s sole dedicated platform for experiential growth within the automotive industry, offering brands a unique live-action format to connect with passionate bikers and young audiences. Following an its debut season across Pune, Ahmedabad and Bangalore, ISRL's five-year roadmap includes rapid expansion, international collaborations and significant growth in franchise value and sponsorships, aiming to redefine India's sports-entertainment and automotive marketing landscape.
