Tickets for the show will be available online.

Also, more than 18 two and three wheeler makers will showcase their vehicles including electric vehicles as well.

As per the officials of GNIDA, the preliminary meeting was attended by officials India Exposition Mart Ltd and the organizers of show, SIAM and Automotive Component Manufacturers Association  of India (ACMA). Other than these, Confederation of INdian Industry (CII) is also the part of show.

During the meeting, officials discussed about the arrangements of free shuttle buses from selected Metro Stations in Noida and various locations in Delhi NCR. Also, road patrolling, fire fighting and other high security arrangements will be undertaken.
