With the new launches and unveilings, President of Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers, Vikram Kirloskar stated that the industry is hoping for a reignition of demand through the show. (IE Photo: Tashi Tobgyal)

"There is pent-up demand, but consumers are delaying purchases because of factors like lesser income, high interest rates and inflation. We are hoping that this Auto Expo will draw them out to trigger demand, although the revival in the automobile market is unlikely unless there is a revival of economic growth," Kirloskar said.

Having learnt lessons from the previous expo, which was marred by poor crowd management that led to business leaders like Anand Mahindra criticising the event saying it should be "serious business" and not a "tamasha", this time the organisers are expecting to put up a better show.

The organisers have, however, ruled out the possibility of moving the show from Delhi-NCR saying the expo has been globally identified with the Capital, which is also the biggest market for cars along with the adjoining regions of Gurgaon and Noida. (IE Photo: Tashi Tobgyal)
