Along with this the renowned two wheelers making companies like Royal Enfield, Bajaj, TVS have also opted to stay away from the show.

The manufacturers like Maruti Suzuki India Limited, Hyundai Motors India Limited, Tata Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra have confirmed to participate in the event and showcase their latest concept and electric vehicles. Similarly, the manufacturers like Skoda, Volkswagen, Renault, Mercedes-Benz and the new entrants like MG Motors and Kia Motors will mark their presence during the event.
