The Association
The record of a founding
Everything on this page is drawn from the resolutions adopted by the House at Likabali on 21 June 2026, and from the press release issued in their wake.
Roadbook
How the Association was arrived at
Four waypoints across eight days.
- 13.06
WP 01 — Itanagar
1st Consultative Meeting
Hosted by Green Adventure Park (GAP).
Held alongside the NER Motorsport Interaction Meet & Federation Formation Drive, which brought clubs, riders and stakeholders from across the Northeastern Region together to deliberate on the future of motorsport in the region.
The participants unanimously acknowledged the need for a democratic, inclusive and representative state-level association, and resolved that broader consultations be undertaken before any formal constitution.

WP 02 — Interim Committee
Ten members, five pioneer clubs
Two members each from Green Adventure Park, Bisonbill Offroaders Club, Offroad Tribe Pasighat, Team Xtreme Arunachal and LRD 4x4.
Entrusted with facilitating consultations, drafting the framework and mobilising stakeholder participation.
Functioned under the provisional nomenclature "Arunachal Motorsport Association (AMA) – Interim Committee".

WP 03 — Likabali
2nd Consultative Meeting
Osie Garden Resort, Lower Siang District. Chaired by Er. Kenjum Nyori; hosted by Bisonbill Offroaders Club.
Ten of the fourteen associated clubs attended in person. The remainder gave their concurrence remotely, prevented from travelling by landslides and weather.
The draft byelaws were taken up clause-wise, amended and adopted. The abbreviation was revised from AMSA to AMA — the House holding that "Motorsport" is one word, so the additional S carried no meaning.

WP 04 — Constituted
The first Executive Body elected
The Association was declared formally constituted with immediate effect.
Eight office bearers were elected on the principles of One Club – One Vote and One Club – One Executive Portfolio, under the supervision of appointed Observers.
Nominations, voting, counting and declaration were documented under continuous camera coverage by Zoom Digital Media.

Governance
How decisions get made
The Association derives its authority from its affiliated clubs and remains accountable to the General Body.
One Club – One Vote
Authority derives from the affiliated clubs. Every club carries equal weight regardless of size, age or discipline.
One Club – One Executive Portfolio
No single club may hold more than one seat on the Executive Body, so leadership cannot concentrate in one organisation.
Independent observers
Senior members of the motorsport fraternity were appointed to oversee the consultative and electoral process for fairness and transparency.
Documented proceedings
Nominations, voting, counting and declaration of results were recorded under continuous camera coverage by Zoom Digital Media.
Transitional Executive Authority
Because the Constitution and Byelaws are not yet formally adopted, the elected Executive Body functions as the Transitional Executive Authority. It works strictly within the mandate granted by the resolutions of the House and remains accountable to the affiliated clubs and the General Body.

Standing
Where the Association stands today
AMA was constituted on 21 June 2026 and is a newly formed body. It is building the structures a state motorsport association needs — club membership, published event standards, official training and a state calendar. It is working towards affiliation with the Federation of Motor Sports Clubs of India (FMSCI), the national federation recognised for motorsport in India, and intends to align its event standards with FMSCI's published sporting and technical regulations. Competition licences for national-level events are issued by FMSCI; AMA can guide members through that process. Events organised by AMA at present are club-level, non-championship events run to its published safety standards.
