The biennial automotive show Auto Expo kicked off on February 3 with over 80 new models to be unveiled over two days. While the first two days are open to media and business visitors, the expo will be thrown open to the public from February 5-9. An estimated 7 lakh visitors are expected during the expo. The show, jointly organised by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers, Automotive Components Manufacturers Association and the Confederation of Indian Industry, is taking place at India Expo Mart, Greater Noida. The expo's focus is on electric and hybrid vehicles with a theme of mobility for all. Maruti Suzuki India, Mahindra, Hyundai Motor India, Honda Cars India, Tata Motors and Audi are among the major participants. This year's newcomers include Jeep, Polaris, and Italian motorcycle maker Benelli. Bajaj Auto, Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV), Royal Enfield and Harley Davidson are among those that have given the Expo a miss, citing high costs and low returns on investments.
