Auto Expo in India

The 10th Auto Expo displays new bikes and vehicles at the Pragati Maidan venue, providing a common platform to auto manufacturers, traders, exporters and importers throughout the event. New Delhi, India. 05/01/2010.

The organisers, the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers and the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), said they expected some two million visitors during the week-long show -- much higher than the numbers attracted by similar events at Shanghai and New York last year.

"We will have 40 percent more visitors this time and will have over 10 global launches and 50 other launches with all the well-known auto makers taking part," said Pawan Goenka, the auto society's president. "We expect around two million visitors."

The Indian automotive industry has a turnover of more than $18 billion (Rs.90,000 crore) today and expects to gain significantly through new tie-ups, partnerships and marketing initiatives during Auto Expo, the organisers added.

Even though the event, co-hosted by the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA) began Tuesday, it will be formally inaugurated Jan 6 by Heavy Industries Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh and Commerce Minister Anand Sharma.

The organisers said the expo was witnessing the largest-ever overseas participation with contingents from Canada, China, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Taiwan and Britain.

This time, commercial vehicles, two-wheelers and other variety of automobile accessories are also on display. Japan's Toyota is displaying the Etios, especially designed for India, with German carmaker Volkswagen showcasing its much-awaited super-mini Polo.

Others like the US-based car maker General Motors had added a radically different looking car named Beat to its existing line up of compacts here. Honda, too, is unveiling a new model.

Other displays at the event include a wide range of new and locally designed and developed auto components. Many of these component designs have been patented in the country as well as overseas.

The auto sector is betting big on the event as makers of luxury cars are increasingly looking at making India a sourcing hub for components, besides using more local components in cars for the domestic market.

"Auto Expo will act as a platform for both Indian and foreign business visitors where they will have ample opportunity to see products on display as well interact with officials of component companies at the venue," ACMA president Jayant Davar said.Iconic US motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson said it will bring 12 motorcycles in the Indian market priced between Rs 6.95 lakh and Rs 34.95 lakh (ex-showroom New Delhi).(USD1=INR46)

"Bookings for Harley-Davidson motorcycles will open from April 2010 at dealerships to be announced in New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Chandigarh. The delivery of motorcycles will start from June 2010," company's MD Anoop Prakash told reporters at the 10th Auto Expo in New Delhi.

The US bike maker, which sells products in over 70 countries, forayed into India last year. It produces motorcycles and a complete line of motorcycle parts, accessories and general merchandise.
