Delhi Auto Expo 2016: Organisers Expecting 6 Lakh Plus Visitors

One of the key talking points for organisers - Society of Indian Automobile Manufactures (SIAM) jointly with Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA) and Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) - has been the expected footfall this year, which, according to a media release, is set to rise by at least 20 per cent from last time to around 6 lakh, during the five public days.

This escalating excitement can largely be attributed to the increase in number of exhibitors participating in the upcoming automobile extravaganza. The previous edition saw as many as 55 exhibitors, which has already crossed 65 for the approaching edition of the show, the release added.

Among these, the 2016 Auto Expo will witness participation from vehicle manufacturers including Ashok Leyland, Audi India, BMW India, Datsun, Fiat India, Ford India, General Motors, Honda Cars India, Hyundai Motor India, Isuzu Motors India, Jaguar Land Rover, Mahindra & Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki India, Mercedes-Benz India, Nissan Motor India, Renault India, Scania Commercial Vehicles India, SML Isuzu, Tata Motors, Toyota Kirloskar Motor, VE Commercial Vehicles and Volkswagen India  in the four-wheeler segment.

Two-wheeler manufacturers like Hero MotoCorp, India Yamaha, Mahindra 2 wheelers, Piaggio Vehicles, Suzuki Motorcycle India, Triumph Motorcycles India and TVS Motor Company will also set base at the event to showcase their latest products and technologies.

The gross indoor exhibition space has also been increased from 62,000 sq m in the previous edition to 68,000 sq m in the forthcoming edition of the show. The venue has witnessed enormous construction in the form of six large air conditioned halls with an additional carpet area of 37240 sq m.
