Auto Expo – 2023 Components is Asia's largest automotive show, jointly organised by Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA), Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM).

The 2023 Auto Expo Component Show is driven by Technovation; it serves as a global hub for innovation and cutting-edge technology. The event is essential in exhibiting the most recent innovations in automotive components for cars, trucks, electric vehicles, bearings, garage equipment and spare parts in many markets. However, due to difficulties caused by the Covid-19 epidemic, the biennial automotive expo did not take place in 2022. The expo is now prepared to resume in January 2023 after a brief hiatus.

It is anticipated that innovative and advanced technologies in the components sector, in both greener and cleaner energy-saving formats, would be unveiled at the next Auto Expo 2023 - Components. Here is the important event information you should be aware of before the Auto Expo 2023 Components begins.

Auto Expo 2023 - components venue
With a strong concentration on automobiles (Auto Expo 2023 — Vehicles) and auto components (Auto Expo 2023 - Components), the Auto Expo is now held at two different locations. The India Expo Mart in Greater Noida will once again serve as the location for the Auto Expo - The Motor Show. At Pragati Maidan in New Delhi, there will be an Auto Expo - Components event.

Auto Expo 2023 – components date and time
The Auto Expo - Component is slated to take place from 12 January through 15 January, 2023. Business visitor hours are 1000 – 1800 on 12-14 January and 1000–1300 on 15 January, while General Public hours are 1330–1700 on 15 January, 2023. Entry to the exhibition halls closes every day 30 minutes before closing time, while entry to the event venue closes one hour before closing.

Auto Expo 2023 – components: how to get there
Pragati Maidan in New Delhi has excellent access to the metro and roads. The distance between the domestic and international airport and Pragati Maidan is 18 kilometres and 23 kilometres, respectively. There are several gates for entering Pragati Maidan, and shuttle services are free at all of the entrances. Gate #10 for direct admission is about a five minute walk from the Pragati Maidan Metro Station.

Auto Expo 2023 - components participating
The automotive component industry is anticipated to introduce a wide range of new innovations at the Auto Expo 2023 - Components, as well as cutting-edge technologies in automobile, truck, two-wheeler and three-wheeler segments.

The Electric Vehicle category of the Auto Expo will also include some extremely intriguing and cutting-edge innovations. Along with the REA Pavilion, a focused pavilion has been planned for ACMA innovation, ACMA Safer Drive, Bearing, Garage Equipment, EV Components and Start-ups. At the event, more than 800 exhibitors display the technology and services they have to offer this market.

The Auto Expo Components event has always included interactive forums as a key component. In contrast to earlier editions, a conference has been planned together with a buyer-seller meetup and matchmaking activities in an effort to maximise the event from a commercial perspective. National pavilions are built for France, Germany, Japan, Poland, South Korea, the United Kingdom and many others to display global technology and innovation in the automotive sector.

Cars24 has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Ministry of Commerce and Industry, to support India's startup ecosystem through initiatives focused on artificial intelligence, mobility, and road safety.

As per the agreement, Cars24 will establish structured programmes for early-stage founders, granting access to its infrastructure, mentor network, funding sources, market connections and technical resources. In turn, the DPIIT will facilitate national outreach and ecosystem integration via the Startup India platform, supporting knowledge exchange, co-branding and policy engagement.

The partnership encompasses five specific areas of operation: mentorship for early-stage founders via the Cars24 Founders' Fellowship, training through Mobility and Autotech Skilling Programmes, technical support and AI integration via Cars24 Labs, investor connections through Fuel by Cars24 and the organisation of an annual Innovation Challenge and Road Safety Hackathon alongside the DPIIT.

Vikram Chopra, Builder, Cars24, said, “Cars24 is proof that Indian founders can start with a difficult, everyday problem and build something on a national scale. We want to pass that possibility on. Through this partnership with DPIIT, we are backing the next generation of builders with more than advice. We want to give them access, capital, talent and a real platform to test ideas that can make India move smarter and safer.”

A senior DPIIT official commented, “Industry participation is central to strengthening India’s startup ecosystem. Collaborations of this kind, where an established market leader opens up its scale, mentorship and resources to early-stage founders, are exactly the bridge between ambition and execution that young startups need. We welcome Cars24’s commitment to mentoring, skilling and supporting product startups across the country.”

The non-binding MoU establishes a framework for ongoing collaboration between both entities to foster technology adoption and entrepreneurship within the Indian mobility sector.

NXP Semiconductors has announced that the BMW Group will deploy its Trimension NCJ29D6 Ultra-Wideband (UWB) family across its vehicle fleet, beginning with selected 2026 production programmes.

The hardware component integrates fine-ranging capabilities with short-range radar functionality on a single chip. This allows vehicle manufacturers to utilise a single system for multiple applications, including hands-free vehicle entry and occupant presence detection.

The integration supports BMW’s Digital Key Plus feature, which enables vehicle owners to substitute key fobs with smartphones or smartwatches. The system manages locking and unlocking functions as the user approaches or moves away from the vehicle. Additionally, the technology includes in-cabin radar monitoring designed to identify motion patterns consistent with occupants or animals left inside a parked vehicle, sending notification alerts to users to align with European and Chinese NCAP assessment protocols.

Markus Staeblein, Senior Vice-President and General Manager, Secure Car Access at NXP Semiconductors, said, “NXP’s proven Trimension UWB platform maximises value for OEMs, using a single system to deliver multiple new and differentiating features for drivers. Digital key and presence detection are just the beginning. OEMs will be able to deliver additional UWB-based features, such as kick sensing, intrusion alert or automatic charging, as they establish the secure hardware platform in their vehicles.”
