Times of India | 20 December 2024
12 Kolkata: The second edition of Bharat Mobility Global Expo (BMGE) will see the participation of 34 automobile companies, up from 28 firms that participated in the last edition. However, Chinese companies who have set other major auto expos across the world on fire with avant garde products at unbelievable prices will not be part of the exposition.
While the inaugural Bharat Mobility event was spread over 10.7 lakh sq ft, the next edition scheduled to be held from Jan 17 to Jan 22 will be spread over 21.5 lakh sq ft across three locations in Delhi and Noida. Aakash Shah, vice-chairman of Engineering Export Promotion Council (EEPC) India, said the number of foreign delegates would go up from 500 in the first edition to 5,000 in the next one. Over 5 lakh visitors are expected at the event. EEPC is the nodal agency coordinating the mega event with nine concurrent shows.
"We are striving to be the largest mobility show in the world. While the auto expo that is now part of the mega event will be the prime attraction, the Bharat Battery Show, the Components Show, Mobility Tech Pavilion and India Cycle Show will be riveting as well," said Shah.
EEPC India immediate past president Arun Kumar Garodia said the show will have a wide display of electric, hybrid, CNG and biofuel-powered vehicles from both domestic and international companies. Among the EV manufacturers, Ather Energy, Ola Electric, Vayve Mobility, Eka Mobility and Vietnam's Vinfast will be present.
More than 800 auto component manufacturers and 1,000 brands from over 13 global markets will exhibit their products, technologies and services for OEMs and the aftermarket.
There will also be dedicated country pavilions from Germany, the UK, South Korea and Japan, along with participation from the US, Spain, UAE, China, Russia, Italy, Turkey, Singapore and Belgium, Garodia said.
