January in India! It is a time for resolutions, a warm cup of chai, and a healthy dose of octane-infused anticipation if you’re anything like me. 2025 will kick off with the Bharat Mobility Expo, the country’s grandest automotive gathering. An event so sprawling, it’s split across three venues and promises to showcase cars and new-age mobility tech, from EV batteries to urban infrastructure solutions. Let’s dive into the details!
The Venues:
The Bharat Mobility Expo will run from 17th to 22nd January 2025, hosted at three distinct locations:
-
Bharat Mandapam (Pragati Maidan, New Delhi):
This is where the magic happens—the Auto Expo Motor Show. If cars, SUVs, and EVs are your thing, this is where you want to be. It’s centrally located in Delhi and has parking, food courts, and a metro station just a 5-minute walk away. The Supreme Court Metro Station (Blue Line) is your gateway to the show. -
Yashobhoomi (Dwarka, New Delhi):
This venue will host the Auto Expo Components Show and focus on the essential parts that make cars tick. Think tyres, batteries, and every other nut and bolt. -
India Expo Centre and Mart (Greater Noida):
A hub for construction equipment, urban mobility, and infrastructure showcases. Suppose you’re into how cities will move tomorrow; trek here.
Timings and Entry
The event starts on January 17th, with the first two days reserved for business visitors. Public entry begins on January 19th and ends on January 22nd, between 10 AM and 6 PM. And here’s the best bit: entry is free. Just register online—links are available for both general visitors and business professionals.
Carmakers and Their Machines
Now, the juicy bit. A whopping 13 automakers will grace the expo with their presence, including Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Tata Motors, Mahindra, and even newcomers like Vinfast Auto India. Premium brands such as Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW are also set to dazzle.
Some of the most-anticipated models? The Hyundai Creta Electric, Tata Sierra EV, Mahindra BE 6e, and Maruti eVX are all rumoured to make their debut.
Getting There
For Delhiites, the Bharat Mandapam is just 5 km from the New Delhi railway station and 20 km from the airport. Conveniently, taxis, autos, and even a venue-specific shuttle service will ensure you arrive in style—or at least without breaking a sweat.
What’s New in 2025?
With sections dedicated to cycles, EV batteries, and even a “Street Pavilion,” it’s clear that the focus isn’t just on what drives us today and what will drive us tomorrow. Expect innovations in sustainable transportation, autonomous tech, and energy-efficient urban solutions.
Parting Thoughts
If you’re an auto enthusiast, an EV aficionado, or someone who loves shiny, futuristic things, the Bharat Mobility Expo is where you’ll want to be this January.
