The biennial event in 2016 had recorded a footfall of over 6 lakh. As the country's biggest auto carnival, Auto Expo 2016 witnessed over 108 product launches and unveiling by over 65 manufacturers over a seven day period. While companies like Bajaj Auto, Royal Enfield and Harley Davidson opted to stay away from the 13th edition of the Auto Expo, the show welcomed new exhibitors like Revolta Motors, Force Motors, Jeep, Abarth and Dhasan Moto, BMW Motorrad, DSK Benelli and Polaris.
