‘Smart’ Technologies & Solutions to Take Centre-stage at the Transport India 2019 expo, From 22 – 24 May at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi

The Indian auto industry, excluding two-wheelers, became the 4th-largest in the world in 2017, registering a double-digit growth in FY 2017-18.

Passenger vehicle market grew 7.89%, selling 3.28 million units during FY 2018. Sale of passenger cars and vans recorded a growth of 3.33% and 5.78%, respectively.

Two-wheelers segment dominates the market in terms of volume due to a growing middle class and a young population.

Sale of domestic automobiles increased at 7.01% CAGR between FY 2013-18, with 24.97 million vehicles sold in FY 18.

Indian cities are now home to millions of vehicles, whether domestic or commercial, two-wheelers, three-wheelers, buses or even locally modified electric vehicles that are used to ferry goods and passengers at a cheap cost within the city. Together, these contribute to traffic and parking congestion as well as air pollution, thereby raising health and safety issues. There is an urgent need to address the challenges related to the country’s road transport sector, including inadequate public transportation, road safety, poor traffic management, poor parking infrastructure, etc. These hamper the smooth movement of passengers, goods, raw materials and agricultural produce across the country.

Talking about the event, Shri Prem Behl, Chairman, Exhibitions India Group, said, ‘Adequate and good quality transport is key to the development of any economy. It not only ensures smooth movement of goods but also creates opportunities for mobility of the population, be it within the city or to other places in the country. Another critical aspect is the cost incurred by the government to make available different forms of fossil fuels to keep the transport system running. This is where the Transport India 2019 expo comes in. The event allows all players of the segment, whether the government, manufacturers or consumers, to explore the latest technological advancements made in the field, as well as the alternative fuels available, that would allow great savings in energy bills, create a clean environment, and improve the existing infrastructure to align it to the modern times.
