Auto Expo: Over 70 launches scheduled as manufacturers bank on sentiments

During the six-day-long event, automakers have planned 10 global launches, 26 India specific launches, six concept vehicles, seven facelifts and 21 vehicle unveilings (just displays)

Despite slowdown in the automobile sector, more of new model launches are expected at the biennial automotive industry show, Auto Expo 2020, starting February 7 in Greater Noida, as compared to last year.
 
The number of such launches is expected to cross 70, indicate members from the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (Siam). Also, non-Siam numbers (including Chinese ones) would launch or showcase dozens of others. In the 2018 Expo, the total number, from Siam members and others, was around 85.
 
All these should improve customer sentiment, and in turn a rise in sales, said Rajesh Menon, director-general
