Exapansion could be done but not on the basis of promotion/relegation but should be done with certain parameters set for the new clubs to fulfill if they wanna see their team in top division of indian club football like it is in J-league or MLS

Future Choices which are not ready:<div><br></div><div><b>Nagaland: </b>Small population of 1,000,000 (state wide). Far from good enough infrastructure. Weak teams. Potential Growth: YES.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Aizawl:</b> Small population of 300,000. Far from good infrastructure (Its good but not ready). Team is still not ready in my opinion. Wait till the Rajiv Ghandi Stadium is done.</div><div><br></div><div><b>West Bengal #4:</b> A fourth team in West Bengal. This time in Northern West Bengal which has a population of 12,000,000 across the Northern Districts of West Bengal. Potential rivalry with Prayag United. Not yet. When more cities are covered than yes.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Bangalore:</b> Leave it to @Rudra<;/div><div><br></div><div><b>Assam:</b> Just does not have a proper team yet and I feel Mizoram is better.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Punjab: </b>Population 22,000,000. History. Does not have a proper team nor league yet.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Delhi: </b>Population of 11,000,000. Great support for India. Needs proof of support when I-League teams play there.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Hyderabad & Chennai:</b> Not proven markets yet. Better options than them for now.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Jaipur: </b>Jaipur Football Club.</div>
Srinagar showed lots of enthusiasm last time Santosh Trophy was held there. Srinagar FC for the future. Also Himachal Pradesh can be explored. Dharamsala has a huge Tibetan population as well which loves football. Football is famous in Rural Punjab (Malerkotla as well as Doab region)and now as JCT is gone, it will take some serious effort to build up a brand again. But I will say that Chandigarh can be a good place becoz of rich young population for a football club. Mohali, Panchkula as well as Chandigarh should be right places. So My choice:-
Srinagar FC is a very good option. And cricket also isn't that big in jammu & kasmir. Also ppl there don't have much to do to entertain themselfs (I guess) so Srinagar FC chould pull good crowd.

@indian_gooner Sorry, I was not typing in the perspective of next season. That was just my opinion for if I had to choose.
