The Gautam Buddh Nagar traffic police have announced a series of arrangements for parking and appropriate routes for the upcoming Auto Expo 2023 in Greater Noida from January 11 to 18. They are as follows:

• The same will apply to vehicles coming from the Ghaziabad NH 24 via Kisan Chowk, Bisrakh, Surajpur, LG Golchakkar, and Sharda Golchakkar.
• The same will apply to vehicles coming from Agra and Mathura via the Yamuna Expressway.
• The same will apply to vehicles coming from the Peripheral Expressway via Sirsa Golchakkar and IFS Villa Golchakkar.
• In case of excessive traffic on the Noida-Greater Noida expressway, drivers can take an alternate route from the Expo Mart to Sirsa Golchakkar to the Peripheral Expressway.
• After the programme, those going to the Noida-Greater Noida expressway can go to the parking at Bada Golchakkar to the Accurate Institute T point, using the service road from there to the Hindon cut and Safipur Underpass to reach the expressway.
• Those going to the Stellar Gymkhana can take the service road going in the direction of Ansal Plaza, or take the service lane in the direction of the underpass from Expo Mart Golchakkar.

• Heavy vehicles will be banned around the Expo Mart in Greater Noida and cranes will be deployed to deal with damaged vehicles and vehicles left standing on the roadside.

The Auto Expo is taking place after a gap of three years amid record absenteeism. More than two-dozen prominent automotive brands have cited high event costs, negligible returns on investment, poor event management, unfavourable location and irrelevance of the event itself as reasons behind their reluctance to participate. The missing names make up more than 80% of India’s total domestic volumes.
