Key auto manufacturing companies like Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Tata Motors, Toyota, Kia, MG, BYD, Toyota etc, are expected to showcase some spectacular concept cars and production-ready models at the event. There will also be a wider display of electric vehicles by traditional players as well as startups.
