The occupied space marks a 90 per cent increase compared to the launch edition of the show in 2013. International participation has also soared by 34 per cent due to steady sales and expanding auto components market in the country. This perhaps continues to attract auto component giants from across the world.

Completing this impressive list of automotive giants at the fair, Bosch, one of the largest suppliers of automotive parts and systems to the automotive industry, has signed on as the Platinum Partner for the second edition of the Delhi show. Mr. Guenter Weber, Regional President – Automotive Aftermarket, Bosch Ltd., India, said: “The Automechanika in Germany attracts all leading OEMs and component manufacturers from across the globe and has attracted millions of customers year after year. This is a great initiative to introduce the same platform in India wherein the Indian audience can experience world-class innovations and solutions in automotive technology. We are really proud to be associated as the Platinum Partner for the event.”
He added: “ACMA Automechanika New Delhi’s constant effort to push automotive technology forward reflects our company’s core strategy ‘Parts, Bytes & Services’, while we are also looking at launching a few products, test equipment and service concepts at the show”.
In addition to sourcing and networking opportunities, the Indian fair has organised a seminar which is scheduled alongside the exhibition on February 27 and will bring together noted industry experts from India and overseas to share their valuable insights and international best practices in the key areas of R&D and innovation, advancements in mechatronic systems, sustainable mobility, fuel efficiency, emerging export markets, etc. The one-day conference will also shed light on road safety in dark hours and the changing mind-set of the Indian auto components industry from “Build-to-print” to “Build-to-intent”.
A burgeoning middle class with spending power and upward mobility, along with India’s growing focus on vehicle safety assessments, is set to stimulate demand for auto parts business and safety technologies. With Indian car buyers getting younger and used car market gaining momentum, demand in the automotive aftermarket is expected to gain further traction in 2015.
Focusing purely on the needs of the growing aftermarket sector, ACMA Automechanika New Delhi will thus make on important sourcing destination for new ideas, tools and industry insights
