Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to address the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2024 on February 2. The three-day mega exhibition, which will be held from February 1-3 in Bharat Mandapam, Delhi, will bring together 28 original equipment makers and over 600 component makers. The event is being planned to showcase India as a global hub of mobility.
Unlike the biannual India Auto Expo that was held in January last year, the Bharat Mobility Expo will feature the entire mobility ecosystem, including an exhibition of electric, hybrid, bio-fuel and hydrogen vehicles, powertrain technologies, components, eco-friendly tyres, battery technology, charging infrastructure, connected technologies, and alternative fuel technologies.
Leading OEMs participating in the exhibition include Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Tata Motors, Skoda Volkswagen, Mercedes Benz, Volvo Eicher Commercial Vehicles, Ashok Leyland, Hero MotoCorp, Bajaj Auto, Royal Enfield, Ather Energy and Godawari Electric Motors. Over 50 battery and storage companies, 10 leading tyre makers and nine construction equipment makers will also take part in the expo.
The event is being organised by the Ministry of Commerce, in partnership with several other ministries and industry bodies such as SIAM, ACMA, Automotive Tyre Manufacturers’ Association, Society of Manufacturers of Electric Vehicles, and NASSCOM.
The fifth edition of ACMA Automechanika will be held as a subset of the Bharat Mobility Global Expo in Bharat Mandapam. Automechanika, which primarily focuses on the aftermarket, will exhibit over 50 new products.
“Over 800 exhibitors including domestic and 50 overseas players will participate in the Bharat Mobility Global Expo. Visitor registrations have crossed the one lakh figure,” Amardeep Singh Bhatia, additional secretary of the Ministry of Commerce & Industry told reporters today.
During the curtain raiser event earlier this month, Minister of Commerce and Industries Piyush Goyal noted that the expo will showcase what India has to offer to the world. Goyal also told the Indian auto industry should target to increase their share of vehicle exports to at least 50 percent from the current 14 percent.
