A Strategic Move to Enhance Global Collaboration and Industry Impact
The Bharat Mobility Global Expo, which transitioned into an annual format in 2024, will now return to a biennial schedule starting from 2027. According to industry sources, the next edition is likely to be held from February 4 to February 9, 2027, across three major venues in the Delhi-NCR region — Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, Yashobhoomi in Dwarka, and the India Expo Centre & Mart in Greater Noida.
This strategic change aims to offer stakeholders ample preparation time for showcasing advanced mobility solutions, while also reflecting evolving global trends in automotive exhibitions.
Key Highlights of the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2027
The upcoming edition is set to build upon the success of previous years while offering more time and space for innovation, collaboration, and global outreach.
- Biennial Format: Reverting to a two-year cycle from 2027 onwards
- Tentative Dates: February 4–9, 2027
- Multi-Venue Format: Continues at Bharat Mandapam, Yashobhoomi, and India Expo Centre
- Global Collaboration: Increased international participation expected

- 2025 Recap: Attracted nearly 1 million visitors and featured 1,500+ exhibitors and 239 product launches
Broader Strategic Shift in Auto Expos
Globally, the auto show format has been losing relevance, as major events like the Frankfurt Motor Show, Geneva International Motor Show, and Detroit Auto Show face reduced participation, postponements, or complete overhauls. Factors like growing digital unveilings, high exhibition costs, and the industry’s tilt towards direct-to-consumer marketing have accelerated this transformation.
Against this backdrop, India’s decision to make the Bharat Mobility Expo an annual event in 2024 signaled the country’s growing significance as a future mobility hub. With India recently overtaking Japan as the world’s third-largest car market, and ranking among the top five in tractors, two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and commercial vehicles, the move was both symbolic and strategic.
Industry Perspective on Biennial Return
Industry experts believe the biennial shift will ensure each edition brings substantial value to exhibitors and visitors. Hosting a massive show every year was seen as resource-intensive, with limited new products or innovations to justify the frequency. This new approach is expected to allow companies to better align their product cycles with the event’s timeline.
The format used in 2025—spanning three world-class venues—will continue, ensuring logistical efficiency and greater exhibitor flexibility. Meanwhile, the Auto Component Aftermarket Expo, Automechanika, will still be held in 2025, maintaining a strong B2B focus.
Statements from Industry Leaders
A senior official involved in the event organization stated, “The shift to a biennial format is about quality over quantity. We want every edition of Bharat Mobility to be a milestone event—something that moves the industry forward, not just fills exhibition halls.”
Another industry veteran added,“India has proven it can host world-class mobility events. The 2025 expo was a success by all standards. With a two-year preparation window, 2027 will be even bigger in terms of international collaborations and innovation showcases.”
Outlook for the 2027 Expo
The return of the Bharat Mobility Global Expo in 2027 marks a maturing phase in India’s approach to mobility showcases. By aligning with global best practices and focusing on long-term value creation, the biennial event is set to become Asia’s premier platform for futuristic mobility solutions.
As the automotive world continues to pivot towards sustainability, connectivity, and electrification, India’s flagship expo is well-positioned to be at the forefront of this transformation.
