Auto Expo 2027 will open at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi on 4 February 2027, and the Union government used a curtain raiser on Tuesday, 10 November 2026, to put fresh numbers on the much larger event around it. Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said the third Bharat Mobility Global Expo should draw more than 10 lakh visitors and called it potentially the world’s second-largest mobility show.
For most readers the questions are simpler: which days can the public go, what will it cost, and which brands are coming? Some answers are now official, and one widely shared number needs a correction.
When is Auto Expo 2027 and when can the public go?
The motor show runs from 4 to 9 February 2027 at Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan. Goyal said on 10 November that the first two days are reserved for business visitors and product launches. The organiser’s Auto Expo page lists public days from Saturday, 6 February to Tuesday, 9 February.
One date detail is easy to miss. The Press Information Bureau release says the expo will be held from 4 to 9 February at Bharat Mandapam and Yashobhoomi. The Bharat Mobility website and The Hindu BusinessLine say Yashobhoomi in Dwarka runs only from 4 to 7 February. That venue hosts the components, construction, agri-mobility, air mobility and metro shows, not the cars, so plan accordingly.

How much do Auto Expo 2027 tickets cost?
The official Auto Expo page lists Rs 300 a person on Saturday and Sunday (6 and 7 February) and Rs 200 on Monday and Tuesday (8 and 9 February). V3Cars reports that children aged five or below do not need a ticket, and a wheelchair user and one attendant enter free. The organiser has not yet said where or when tickets go on sale, and the Bharat Mobility registration page said on 11 November that visitor registration “will commence soon”.
That is a change from 2025, when visitor registration for Bharat Mobility was free and a QR code sent by email worked as the pass, as India Today reported at the time.
Our arithmetic, assuming the listed prices hold: a family of four with two children over five pays Rs 1,200 on a weekend day and Rs 800 on a weekday. A weekday visit saves Rs 400. Metro fares, parking and food are extra.
What did the 10 November curtain raiser add?
The commerce and heavy industries ministries hosted the event at Vanijya Bhawan. The new commitments were about scale: 11 concurrent shows, more than 1,750 exhibitors, over 2.5 lakh square metres of space and an expected footfall above 10 lakh. Industry sources told BusinessLine that more than 50 countries will take part.
Goyal asked organisers to attract at least 25,000 foreign visitors. He said space was likely to be fully booked, that temporary hangars could not be ruled out, and that the aim is at least one and a half times, if not twice, the current exhibition space by the fourth edition.
Is Auto Expo 2027 bigger than the 2025 show?
We set the 2027 targets against official and reported figures for the 2025 edition, which ran from 17 to 22 January 2025.
| Measure | 2025 edition (actual) | 2027 edition (target) | Change (our calculation) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Venues | 3 (incl. India Expo Mart, Greater Noida) | 2 (Bharat Mandapam, Yashobhoomi) | One fewer |
| Exhibition space | 2 lakh sq m | 2.5 lakh sq m-plus | +25% |
| Exhibitors | 1,500-plus | 1,750-plus | +17% |
| Visitors | 9,83,522 | 10 lakh-plus | About +2% |
| Concurrent shows | 9 | 11 | +2 |
| Product launches | 239 (90 at the motor show) | Not announced | Not comparable |

Space and exhibitors are growing much faster than the visitor target, which should mean more room per visitor if forecasts hold. And Greater Noida drops out: construction equipment moves to Yashobhoomi, so everything sits inside Delhi on two Metro-linked sites.
The launch number needs care. BusinessLine reported “more than 239 product launches” for 2027, but 239 is exactly the total the 2025 edition recorded across all its shows, and only 90 of those were vehicle launches at the motor show. Neither the PIB release nor the official site gives a 2027 launch count. Read 239 as last year’s benchmark, not a list of new cars.
Which carmakers and bike makers are listed so far?
The organiser’s Auto Expo page carries an exhibitor list labelled 2027. Carmakers on it include Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, Mahindra, Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, Honda, Renault, Skoda Auto Volkswagen, JSW MG Motor, JSW Motors, BYD, VinFast, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Jaguar Land Rover. Two-wheeler names include Hero MotoCorp, Honda, TVS (with Norton), Yamaha, Suzuki, Ather, River, Simple Energy and Kinetic.
Several brands that India Today listed for 2025, including Bajaj Auto, Royal Enfield, Ola Electric and Porsche, are not on it yet. Treat that as provisional: the same page still shows 2025 dates in one banner, and the list may still grow.
No carmaker has confirmed a specific model for the show. Earlier reports linked Maruti’s second electric car to the expo, which we covered in our report on the Maruti YMC electric MPV, and the timing of Hyundai’s Ioniq P compact electric SUV would also fit. Neither is confirmed.
What did Goyal say that matters to car buyers?
Three remarks touch buyers directly. On the India-EU trade deal, Goyal said European carmakers could initially test demand with a limited number of models before building them in India. Autocar Professional notes that the agreement concluded in January cuts duty on European cars from 110% to as low as 10% within an annual quota of 2.5 lakh vehicles, phased in over time, so any price effect will be gradual.
He also put festive demand in numbers: one million cars sold during Navratri and around 70,000 over the two days of Dhanteras. And he said India should aspire to sell 10 million passenger vehicles a year at home. Exports were the speech’s main theme, a story we tracked in our report on India’s car exports in H1 FY2027.

CarBike Insight Analysis
The curtain raiser was mostly an export pitch, but it settled the basics: the motor show stays at Bharat Mandapam, public days cover a weekend plus two weekdays, and the Greater Noida leg is gone.
Our view: the paid tickets are the change most readers will feel, and at Rs 200 to Rs 300 they remain modest by city entertainment standards. A weekday visit is the better plan if you can manage it. The figure to ignore is “239 launches”. Until carmakers name their show cars, any list of Auto Expo 2027 launches is guesswork, including the expectations lists circulating now.
We will update this report when ticket sales open and brands confirm displays. The government’s full curtain-raiser statement is in the PIB release on Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2027.
