The business potential of ACMA Automechanika New Delhi remains indisputable, with bookings intensifying for the fair to be held during March 21-24. In comparison to last year, the exhibition space has increased substantially with participation from many newcomers and industry leaders like Schaeffler Group, Ample Autotech, Elofic, ZF India, Shriram Pistons, Valeo India, Mansons, Liqui Moly and ACDelco, among others.
While ACMA Automechanika New Delhi will extensively cover the automotive aftermarket through its six product categories – parts & components, electronics & systems, accessories & customizing, repair & maintenance, management & digital solutions and car wash, care & reconditioning – a unique ‘New Product Zone’ will showcase latest specialty products, auto components and innovative aftermarket accessories on the show floor.
Demand for floor space from international players continues to remain high with pavilions from China, Germany, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and the UK already confirmed.
Jointly organised by the Auto Component Manufacturers Association and Messe Frankfurt Trade Fairs India Pvt. Ltd., the 2017 edition will also see some new initiatives along with a series of conference sessions alongside the fair.
Mr. Vinnie Mehta, ACMA Director General, said: “ACMA Automechanika New Delhi is an eminent global platform for the auto ancillary industry to showcase their capabilities and offerings for the aftermarket as also harness business opportunities. Needless to say, this edition will also contribute towards creating awareness on genuine-product availability and evolving the aftermarket distribution chain.”
When it finally opens for business on March 21, ACMA Automechanika New Delhi will be the center of business for auto components and aftermarket players to collaborate and exchange technical know-how providing the much-needed impetus to India’s Automotive Mission Plan (AMP) 2026.
Moreover, ACMA and Messe Frankfurt aims to build an anti-counterfeiting network for knowledge sharing and addressing the rising concerns over counterfeit products sold in the replacement market. Counterfeiting is rapidly growing and raising serious concerns about vehicle safety in the country.
Higher margins make it easy to push counterfeit products into the market. Therefore taking a strong stand, ACMA’s ASLI-NAQLI’ and ‘Messe Frankfurt against Copying’ campaigns will ensure that exhibitors and visitors gain knowledge and understand various safety standards.
