The Managing Director who is also the Chairman of the organising committee, hinted that a large number of the major brands of automobiles, spare parts, accessories, lubricants, banking and insurance firms, as well as regulatory and policy-making agencies, would be participating in fair.
He further stated: “Though the sector is passing through turbulent times in the country, the persistence of major players in participating in the motor fair is attributable to the importance they attach to it as a key event for demonstrating and showcasing capabilities and potentials.”
Speaking specifically on the financial sector, he assured that visitors looking for auto financing and similar facilities would not be disappointed as some of the participating firms are coming with such incentives.
