It was held at the Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida on 24 September 2023.

All of the races were shortened in distance because of the requests from riders and the official tyre suppliers due to the high heat and humidity in the circuit.

Free Practice sessions on Friday and Saturday do not determine riders to qualify for Q2.

Jorge Martín set the best time 1:45.402 and was the fastest rider at this session ahead of Marco Bezzecchi and Fabio Quartararo.

The race was later restarted over 12 laps with the original starting grid.
