Prime Minister Narendra Modi:  Prime Minister Narendra Modi may have expressed India's interest in hosting the Olympic Games in 2036 and proclaimed that his government will not leave any stone unturned for that, winning the hosting rights would be as difficult as it can get.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Sunday made it clear that it has not received any formal proposal or letter of interest from India regarding their intention to bid for the 2036 Games.

It also made it clear that as far as the bidding process for the Games, it only recognises the National Olympic Committee (NOC), the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) in this case. As of now, India's interest has been shown by Prime Minister Modi, Sports Minister Anurag Thakur and the Gujarat Government through the Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA), which hired PwC as its consultant and gave a final report on which venues and general infrastructure have to be built for the Olympics to be held in Ahmedabad.
