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

Commenting on Bosch’s expanding service portfolios, Mr. Weber 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 few products, test equipment and service concepts during the show”.
In addition to sourcing and networking opportunities, the Indian fair has organised a seminar which is scheduled alongside the exhibition on 27th February 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 & 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 an important sourcing destination for new ideas, tools and industry insights.
