The Bharat Mobility Global Expo is shifting to a biennial format, with its next edition confirmed for February 4-9, 2027, in Delhi-NCR.
Big News: Bharat Mobility Expo Moves to 2027
The Commerce Ministry has officially announced the dates for the third Bharat Mobility Global Expo (BMGE). Mark your calendars for February 4-9, 2027, when the major event will take place in Delhi-NCR. This confirms earlier reports about the expo’s schedule.
This upcoming edition marks a significant change in the expo’s frequency. After two consecutive annual shows in 2024 and 2025, BMGE is now moving to a biennial schedule. This means it will happen every two years instead of every year.
Why the Change? More Time for Innovation
The primary reason behind this shift is to give participants more time. Companies will now have a longer period to develop and showcase truly next-generation mobility solutions and advanced technologies. This aims to ensure a higher quality and more impactful exhibition.
Discussions about the expo’s frequency have been ongoing for several months. Officials, including Rajesh Agrawal from the Department of Commerce, had previously emphasized the need for stakeholder input. The goal was always to build a strong value proposition for everyone involved.
This change also aligns with a global trend. Many prominent international auto shows, like those in Frankfurt, Geneva, and Detroit, are either scaling down or restructuring. The automotive industry is increasingly moving towards smaller, more focused brand events, away from massive annual exhibitions.
What to Expect at BMGE 2027
The 2027 BMGE is expected to maintain its successful format, featuring large-scale exhibitions, insightful technical sessions, and crucial stakeholder consultations. However, there might be exciting new additions to the event.
Plans are underway to potentially introduce a dedicated section focusing on ‘multi-modal mobility and logistics’. This would cover various transport methods, including rail, road, air, water, and both urban and rural mobility solutions. There could also be a special showcase for tractors and agricultural mobility.
Looking Back at BMGE 2025
The previous Bharat Mobility Global Expo, held in January 2025, was a massive success. It was recognized as the world’s second-largest auto show, attracting nearly 10 lakh visitors and featuring over 1,500 exhibitors.
The event spread across multiple venues in Delhi-NCR, including Bharat Mandapam, the Yashobhoomi Complex, and the India Expo Centre and Mart. The decision to make it an annual event initially came after India surpassed Japan to become the world’s third-largest car market, highlighting the country’s growing importance in the automotive sector.
Despite its scale, the 2025 show did miss participation from some major car manufacturers like Honda, Audi, Renault, and Nissan. However, with new models announced by these brands, there’s anticipation they might make an appearance at the upcoming 2027 expo.
- The Bharat Mobility Global Expo will now be held biennially, starting with the next edition in February 2027.
- This shift aims to provide participants more time to develop advanced mobility solutions.
- The 2027 expo may introduce new sections on multi-modal logistics and agricultural mobility.
- The 2025 event was the world’s second-largest auto show, drawing nearly 10 lakh visitors.
This new biennial cycle for the Bharat Mobility Global Expo promises to deliver a more focused and innovative showcase of India’s rapidly evolving mobility landscape. We await further details on what truly groundbreaking solutions will be unveiled in 2027.
