Auto Expo set to move back to New Delhi in 2025 after a decade
After 3 years, Auto Expo holds promise for emerging technologies Bharat Mobility Global Expo, which was anchored by the Ministry of Commerce's Engineering Export Promotion Council of India (EEPC) and automotive industry bodies SIAM and ACMA among others in its first edition in February this year, will expand to three venues next year from 17 January to 22 January, in a bid to position the show as a bigger global mobility event in India. Roadshows to attract international buyers for the auto components show are set to begin soon, while the construction equipment expo is expected to see a footfall of builders, developers, and urban planners among others, the people cited above told Mint.
"All these sectors are linked - construction, auto component and the finished product (vehicles). Our idea is to bring the entire value chain in India", a government official said.
The first edition of Bharat Mobility Global Expo, which was held in February this year, gathered a footfall of over 1.5 lakh visitors, he added. Indian automobile manufacturers, suppliers and participants from allied sectors, including batteries, charging, steel and tyres, came together for the show in Bharat Mandapam even as the participants expressed scepticism over the need to hold the show every year instead of biennially, as has been the practice with the Auto Expo, considering supplier ecosystems usually take longer to develop new technologies.
Many hoped the show, with its friendlier cost structures compared to the Auto Expo (which is launch-event-oriented and costs original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) renting larger spaces more money) will give longer notice to industry in its next edition to enable better planning.
