The second biggest auto expo will be held from April 8-11, 2011 at the convention center in the city. The South Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industries (SGCCI) organized a curtain raiser for the Auto Expo to be held in April. Auto giants from different parts of the country will participate in the expo which will be held with the support of Federation of Automobile Dealers Association.
FADA director S P Shah said, "The industry is in a phase of growth and Indian market in the eye of all the major manufacturers in the world." About Gujarat's potential, he said, "After Nano, days are not far when more big names will enter the small car segment of the country via Gujarat."
Tamil Nadu has 22 per cent market share in automobile sales in the country followed by Maharashtra's 12 per cent. Gujarat stands at the third place with 10 per cent. However, India is far behind in the world with regard to the use of cars against US' 700 per 1,000 people. On the other hand, China has a ratio of 22 against 1,000 and Sri Lanka and Pakistan have 16 and 14 cars per 1,000. Unfortunately India is yet to cross the double digit.
The SGCCI organizing committee said they decided to organize this expo for the first time in the city. They believe it has tremendous potential and the city has highest growth rate and highest per family income in the country. Few years back, an exhibition of embroidery work was hosted by the SGCCI. Interestingly, the city had over 50,000 embroidery machines of different kinds.
