After briefly switching to an annual format in 2024 and 2025, the Bharat Mobility Global Expo will now go back to a biennial schedule, our sister publication Autocar Professional has learned. This has been done to give the participants more time to make and present next-generation mobility solutions, it reported.
- 2027 Bharat Global Mobility Expo (BMGE) likely to be held at multiple venues in Delhi-NCR
- Audi, Honda, Nissan and Renault didn't participate in the 2025 Auto Expo
- 2025 BMGE was the second biggest auto show in the world: Piyush Goyal said earlier
The next edition of the Bharat Mobility Global Expo will likely be held from February 4-7, 2027, at multiple Delhi-NCR venues, including Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, Yashobhoomi in Dwarka, and the India Expo Centre and Mart in Greater Noida. While each venue was dedicated to specific categories, the 2025 Auto Expo was mainly held at Bharat Mandapam, part of Pragati Maidan, with additional showcases in other halls there.
BMGE frequency under review for months
Major international motor shows being rescheduled
"We would love to have it annually, but we will be open to suggestions and discussions from all stakeholders because we would like to create a value proposition for everybody," Department of Commerce’s additional secretary, Rajesh Agrawal, had said at the conclusion of the latest BMGE edition in January 2025.
This comes amid prominent auto shows – Frankfurt, Geneva and Detroit – either being scaled down, delayed or redesigned as the industry shifts away from large exhibitions toward smaller, more focused brand events. Notably, the previous move to an annual cycle was made as India overtook Japan as the third-largest car market in the world. The 2025 BMGE was the second biggest auto show in the world, union minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal had stated earlier.
2025 Auto Expo highlights
Maruti e Vitara India reveal, Tata Sierra ICE and Harrier EV showcased
The Auto Expo 2025, held from January 17-22, attracted nearly 10 lakh visitors and featured over 1,500 exhibitors. Key highlights of the show included the India reveals of the Maruti e Vitara and Toyota Urban Cruiser EV, the Hyundai Creta Electric price announcement, and the showcases of the Tata Sierra and Harrier EV. However, several car brands like Honda, Nissan, Renault and Audi were not present at the auto show. All of these manufacturers, who have new ICE and electric car launches scheduled in the pipeline, may mark their presence at the next edition of the Auto Expo. New car brands are expected to be present there as well.
