As India’s automotive component sector gears up for sustained growth, driven by robust domestic demand, rising export opportunities and the transition towards electric mobility, AutoTechnicia 2026 is set to provide a dedicated B2B platform for the auto components, parts, accessories and aftermarket industry in Western India.
Scheduled to be held at the Bombay Exhibition Centre (NESCO) in Mumbai from October 22 to 24, the exhibition is positioned as a focused platform for Maharashtra’s automotive and industrial ecosystem. The state is home to several important automotive clusters, with Mumbai serving as a major commercial and distribution hub, Pune as a centre for automotive engineering and R&D, Nashik as an important manufacturing base, and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad) contributing significantly to the engineering and manufacturing landscape.
AutoTechnicia 2026 aims to bring these capabilities together while creating opportunities for manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, technology providers and aftermarket players to connect with prospective customers and business partners.
Bridging regional ecosystems with global networks
The exhibition will bring together component manufacturers, Tier-1, Tier-2 and Tier-3 suppliers, aftermarket distributors and other industry stakeholders. The platform is also expected to facilitate interactions between Indian suppliers and international sourcing delegations, creating opportunities for exports and global partnerships.
Navigating the EV transition
Rather than viewing electrification solely as a challenge for the traditional aftermarket, AutoTechnicia 2026 will highlight the emerging opportunities created by the transition. Areas such as battery management, power electronics, EV-specific components and advanced diagnostic solutions are expected to feature prominently.
Capitalising on global sourcing shifts
With global OEMs and supply chains increasingly exploring diversification strategies such as ‘China Plus One’, Indian component manufacturers are presented with opportunities to strengthen their position as reliable and competitive global suppliers. The exhibition aims to provide a platform for domestic companies to showcase their capabilities to potential international customers.
Industry Outlook and Event Scope
AutoTechnicia was conceived as a dedicated marketplace for Maharashtra’s automotive component, auto ancillary and aftermarket sectors, with an emphasis on practical business opportunities and industry networking.
“AutoTechnicia was created with the vision of establishing a dedicated, specialised marketplace for Maharashtra’s auto ancillary and aftermarket sectors. Through structured B2B matchmaking, global trade delegations and technical showcases, the show empowers domestic players to scale their operations and unlock global trade partnerships,” said Vivek Vikram, CEO, SD Promo Media Pvt. Ltd.
The exhibition is expected to offer trade visitors, buyers and industry professionals a broad view of emerging technologies, products and business opportunities across automotive manufacturing, components and aftermarket services.
