Source : PTI | Chinese auto component makers are likely to skip the upcoming Bharat Mobility Show which is scheduled to be held from January 17-22 at three different locations across Delhi-NCR. The six-day Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 will be held between January 17 and 22 next year at Bharatmandapam, Yashobhoomi (India International Convention and Expo Center) Dwarka, and India Expo Center & Mart, Greater Noida, simultaneously.
“I don’t think so,” Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA) Director General Vinnie Mehta said when asked about the participation of the Chinese in the marquee auto event.
“We don’t have booking from the Chinese…I mean, we did not close the booking for anyone, but they did not apply (on the portal),” he added.
In the expo, over 50 countries are expected to participate. About 35 vehicle makers will participate in the Auto Expo Motor Show 2025. Sectors which will be represented include auto, auto components, tyres, e-mobility, software, steel and batteries.
China is the leading source of auto components exports and currently accounts for around 28% of the overall shipments into India.
Imports of auto components grew by 4% from USD 10.6 billion (INR 87,425 crore) in the April-September period of last fiscal to USD 11 billion (INR 92,050 crore) in H1 of 2024-25.
