India to bid for 2024 Olymics

 
India may join Germany and Italy to submit its bid to host the 2024 Olympics.

The NDA Government and the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) have begun preliminary talks to bring the event to India and the initial response from both ends has been positive

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is reportedly keen that India hosts the 2024 edition of the Olympics. He is expected to discuss the possibility of the country bidding for the biggest sporting event of the world with International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach when the German visits New Delhi later this month

The last date for submitting application is in October, 2015 while the IOC will shortlist possible host cities by May, 2016. The host city will be officially named in July 2017.
