KY Ahamed led a 1-2-3 finish for Petronas TVS Racing team while Pacer Yamaha enjoyed a double podium with Prabhu Arunagiri taking a win and teammate Mathana Kumar finishing third behind Idemitsu Honda SK69 Racing's Rajiv Sethu.

Petronas TVS Racing's Ahamed, Deepak Ravikumar and Jagan Kumar came home in that order while defending champion Rajini Krishnan from RACR Castrol Power limped home in seventh place after his engine was stuck in fifth gear as he lost the gear shift lever from second lap onwards.

The race itself fell flat after Ahamed, starting from pole position, opened a sizable gap of over 4 seconds ahead of Ravikumar and Jagan Kumar, and Rajini Krishnan fading from the contest, and the rest of the pack unable to match the pace of the front-runners.
