Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 featured 1,100 exhibitors displaying over 100,000 products, drawing 75,000 visitors including international delegations.
Key Highlights:
After hosting the Bharat Mobility Global Expo for two consecutive years, the government is considering the event's future schedule. It plans to seek suggestions from industry associations like SIAM and ACMA to determine whether the event should be held every year or every two years.
Evolution from Separate Expos to Unified Platform
Until 2024, vehicle and component expos were held separately by SIAM and ACMA every two years. In 2024, both events were unified under the Bharat Mobility brand, showcasing the entire mobility ecosystem.
Vision of Bharat Mobility Global Expo
Initiated by the Ministry of Commerce, the Bharat Mobility Global Expo aims to position India as a hub for mobility solutions. The expo brought together major OEMs, component manufacturers, and companies from allied sectors like batteries and charging infrastructure.
Mixed Reactions and Future Plans
While Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal initially suggested an annual schedule after the first edition's success, the government now seeks input from stakeholders regarding future editions. Despite a successful event with significant footfall and product launches, some major auto companies such as Baja Auto, Honda Cars, Renault, Nissan, Sona Comstar and Lumax Industries did not participate this year. Globally, auto shows are becoming less popular as they involve high marketing costs, and many companies find limited value in participating.
