    South Asia — India (National Capital Region, Delhi–Dwarka, with the wider automotive belt across Haryana, NCR and Maharashtra)

    Why it matters

    India is one of the world's largest vehicle and auto-component markets, and ACMA Automechanika New Delhi is the flagship meeting point for its component industry. Co-organised by Messe Frankfurt India and ACMA — the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India — it pairs the global Automechanika brand with ACMA's member base of Indian Tier-1 and Tier-2 suppliers. Yashobhoomi (IICC) sits in Dwarka, minutes from Indira Gandhi International Airport and on the Airport Express metro line, making it one of the most access-for-access venues in South Asia. For exporters, distributors, EV suppliers and technology vendors, the show is the practical entry point to Indian OEM vendor systems and to the country's rapidly professionalising aftermarket.

    Automechanika and South Asia automotive trade-fair circuit

    Plan the circuit 12–18 months ahead; space at the larger Automechanika editions and at Auto Expo sells out well before the show date.

    ACMA Automechanika New Delhi is part of the global Automechanika network (Messe Frankfurt) and is complemented by India's own Auto Expo – The Components Show. Suppliers typically use a 12–18 month circuit: an India edition for the domestic/OEM market, Dubai for Middle East and Africa distribution, Shanghai for Asian manufacturing supply, Frankfurt for global OEMs and premium aftermarket brands, and Ho Chi Minh City for Southeast Asian growth markets.

    Nov–Dec

    Dubai and Shanghai editions run back-to-back in the fourth quarter — a single Asia/Middle East trip can cover both.

    Weather

    February is a dry, pleasant winter month in New Delhi: afternoon highs typically around 22–27 °C with cool nights near 9–12 °C, and very little rainfall (roughly 15–25 mm across the whole month). Early-February morning fog can occasionally delay flights and slow road traffic, so build buffer time into arrival-day plans.

    Plan for the climate

    Check temperatures and pack accordingly

    Venue connectivity

    Confirm mobile roaming or local SIM options for business visitors to India.

    Ride-hailing

    Taxis

    Public transit

    Car rentals

    Cultural notes

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Greetings and business etiquette

    Handshakes are common in business settings, and a light 'namaste' with palms together is equally appropriate. Use titles and surnames until invited otherwise, offer and receive business cards with the right hand, and expect a relationship-building tone before commercial detail.

    Tipping and payments

    Upscale restaurants often add a service charge; otherwise 5–10% is usual. INR 20–100 is appropriate for porters, housekeeping and drivers. Ride-hailing (Uber/Ola) fares are app-calculated and cashless; keep some small cash for tips and markets.

    Dress, dining and alcohol

    Smart business casual or business formal works on the show floor; modest dress is respectful at temples and heritage sites. Vegetarian food is widely available and beef is uncommon. Alcohol is served in licensed hotels and restaurants only — not all outlets are licensed, and some days are dry.

Apply well in advance on the Government of India e-Visa portal (indianvisaonline.gov.in). Nepal and Bhutan nationals do not require a visa, OCI cardholders have lifelong visa-free entry, and limited nationalities (e.g. Japan, South Korea, UAE) can use Visa on Arrival at Delhi. Carry a printed copy of the visa and a copy of your event invitation/registration confirmation for immigration.

    Estimated cost: Varies by visa type and nationality (check official site).

    Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.

    Multiple entry, 1-year validity, continuous stay up to 180 days. Fee is indicative and varies by nationality plus bank charges. Apply only via the official Government of India portal. Indicative fee for the 30-day option; 1-year and 5-year variants cost more (roughly USD 40 and USD 80) and fees vary by nationality.

    Planning

    Best day for qualified buyer meetings: Day 2 — Friday, 4 February 2028

    The three-day run (Thursday 3 – Saturday 5 February 2028) usually builds to its highest trade footfall and fullest conference schedule on the middle day: registration queues have eased from the opening morning, all exhibitors are staffed and settled, and the technical/knowledge sessions are typically at their densest. It also leaves Day 3 for follow-up meetings or a half-day second pass. If you are booking travel around it, plan to be on the floor from opening on Day 1 as well, since opening-day OEM and ACMA delegations are often the most senior.
