The recent Auto Expo featured many modified and tuned cars. The stalls of most of the private tuners, Accessory dealers showcased one or another modified car. Even I captured quite a few picture of them. Nano by clarion was a looker!

11th Auto Expo to be held in Gurgaon & Split in Two Parts!

SIAM is considering to split the next Auto Expo which will be held in 2012 into two categories –
-Cars & Bikes
-Commercial Vehicles

This is a good idea to prevent unnecessary crowd but on the other hand it could also be sad because we won’t be able to enjoy the huge and latest commercial vehicles under single roof, Though this is just a consideration yet. Read the article below by dancewithshadows.com

Everyone seems to agree that the recently concluded Auto Expo 2010 was not up to the mark when it came to facilities, infrastructure, crowd management and the strain it put on the road traffic situation in New Delhi. We talked about the organisational and infrastructure problems faced by the Auto Expo 2010 earlier on this site.

Something had to be done – and it is believed that a few alternatives are under consideration.

It has been widely reported in the media that organisers are considering splitting the Auto Expo 2012 into two parts: One for cars and motorcycles, and another for commercial vehicle manufacturers.

Dilip Chenoy, director general, SIAM has said that the Auto Expo may have to be split into two or three separate events. That would probably result in less overall crowd – something nobody wants. But it increasingly looks like it has to be an option.

Then, there is the question of how much of the crowd would reduce if it is still conducted at the Pragati Maidan if only CV manufacturers are given a separate event – after all, mostly the crowd is there to see the cars and motorcycles, not to see the trucks. It may turn out that crowd numbers may not reduce at all if that is done.

The other option is that the entire event itself moves out of New Delhi. In that case, the options would be Gurgaon in Haryana and Noida in Uttar Pradesh. Both are satellite cities of New Delhi, and only an hour away.

The Financial Express reported that Gurgaon is a likely candidate due to its proximity to New Delhi and accessibility by the Delhi metro.

Jayant Davar, vice-president, Automotive Component Manufacturers’ Association said that they have approached the Haryana government as well as AP, Karnataka and UP governments to look at options. Chances are the Auto Expo 2010 would not shift down south and would be in the NCR region, though.

The Indian media were not as excited by the Auto Expo 2010 as they were by the 2008 Expo, however – probably due to the lack of a single big unveiling like the Tata Nano during the last Expo. In terms of visitors and actual launches, though, the 2010 Expo was bigger than the earlier one with visitors numbering 2 million.

Taking the Auto Expo 2012 to the southern states is too much of a risk as far as footfalls and publicity goes; so our guess is that SIAM would stick to the NCR region and Gurgaon or Noida.

Most of the blame for the mess at Auto Expo 2010 should go to Pragati Maidan in our opinion – the place is not much better than a Friday market as far as neatness and facilities go. Delhi is one of the best administered cities in India – but the Auto Expo 2010 failed to at least achieve those standards of cleanliness and organisation. Here’s hoping the Auto Expo 2012 would be a big change wherever it happens.

Instead of separating it it will be better if they move to Gurgaon if it has better space and facilities!

If they separate it then as they have mentioned there will be too much of crowding at cars and motorcycles segment and the CV segment will have very less crowd. This is not very desirable!!

Yes, It'll be nice if everything from cars to commercial vehicles is showcased under one roof like it was currently being done. Actually, SIAM hasn't yet decided the final venue yet, A poll on same is running on official website : Auto Expo 2012

I'm not in favor of any of them as Pragati Maidan is much closer to my location any way :wink: But looking on the practical side, with the increasing craze of automobiles and so the Auto Expo, A place with bigger area and better management should do, Among which I'd prefer Gurgaon or Noida.
