Having qualified fourth after a series of fastest laps in the official practice session, 18-year-old Chiranth, astride a TVS Apache RR 310, led from the start in Race-1. However, in the fifth lap of the eight-lap race, he fell to P5 after contact with another rider. But he recovered, passing three riders in the last lap to post a win, his first of the championship.
