The Auto Expo journey began in 1986 at Pragati Maidan, organized jointly by SIAM, CII, and ACMA to put India on the global industrial map. What started as a domestic showcase quickly transformed into a high-stakes gateway for global giants during the 1990s liberalization era. By the 2000s, the event had matured into a prestigious launchpad, making worldwide headlines with the participation of industry icons.
In 2008, it was accredited by the Organisation Internationale des Constructeursd'Automobiles (OICA), cementing its reputation as one of the world's premier auto shows. To handle the soaring scale and footfalls exceeding 700,000, the show was strategically split in 2014, moving the Motor Show to Greater Noida to create a more immersive experience. The following decade redefined the event as a tech-driven platform, placing electric vehicles and connected mobility at its core. In 2025, a landmark edition held under the aegis of Bharat Mobility Global Expo, Auto Expo – The Motor Show saw over 90 launches and the participation of 34 OEMs. With a record 8.44 lakh footfall, the event has evolved into a comprehensive ecosystem of sustainability and decarbonization.
Greater Noida Industrial Development Area falls within the National Capital Region of India's capital - New Delhi and is adjacent to Noida, one of the largest industrial townships in Asia. Just 35 minutes from Delhi via the state-of-the-art Taj Expressway, Greater Noida offers an uncongested, pollution-free environment, with world-class facilities - Shopping Centres, Medical facilities, Aesthetically developed Theme Parks and Entertainment Complexes and even a 222 acres international designer Golf Course. It also has India's only Formula 1 race track, the Budh International Circuit.
