This year's overwhelming success, marked by the participation of top industry players, innovators, and a massive audience, has solidified its importance as a crucial platform for the mobility sector." Emphasising the symbiotic relationship between the technology and automotive sectors, Goyal added, “Software and technology companies are poised to play a transformative role by contributing up to 150 billion dollars to the mobility sector.”
The expo was not just about vehicles; it also featured the active involvement of over 600 auto component manufacturers from over 13 global markets. This diverse participation highlighted the broad spectrum of products, technologies, and services available for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), aftermarkets, and supply chains. International participation, including country pavilions from Japan, Germany, Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand, highlighted the expo's global significance.

Previously, auto exhibitions for OEMs and component makers were separate, occurring every two years. However, the Bharat Mobility Global Expo has garnered widespread acclaim, leading to plans to merge both vehicle and component showcases under its brand from 2025 onwards. This conjunction reflects the expo's growing stature and its potential to unify various segments of the automotive industry.
