In a statement, Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (Siam) President Rajan Wadhera said, “None of these stalls would be manned by anybody who has come to India recently from China.” He said, “As all arrivals from China have now been stopped, there will be no visitors/delegations from China at the Motor Show 2020.”
