India’s automotive aftermarket is accelerating into a new era of scale, sophistication and global relevance, and ACMA Automechanika New Delhi 2026 is set to showcase that momentum on an unprecedented platform. Slated to bring together over 870 exhibitors from more than 20 countries, the upcoming edition underscores India’s growing stature as a strategic hub for components, services and mobility innovation.
Organised by Messe Frankfurt Trade Fairs India in collaboration with the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA), the three-day exhibition will convene OEMs, distributors, garage owners, fleet operators, service professionals, policymakers and global buyers under one roof. The event is expected to serve as a powerful convergence point for industry stakeholders looking to tap into India’s expanding aftermarket ecosystem and strengthen cross-border partnerships.
India’s auto component industry continues to demonstrate resilience and upward momentum. Backed by policy reforms, localisation initiatives and steady domestic demand, the sector has witnessed robust growth in recent years. The aftermarket, in particular, has emerged as a key value driver, supported by rising vehicle parc, digital retail channels and increasing demand for organised service networks. Industry estimates indicate sustained double-digit growth trends, with strong contributions from exports and replacement demand.
ACMA Automechanika New Delhi 2026 aims to reflect this transformation by spotlighting next-generation technologies and business models shaping the future of mobility. Exhibitors will present a comprehensive portfolio spanning spare parts and components, electronics, diagnostics and repair solutions, workshop equipment, lubricants, car care products and digital services. With electric vehicles gaining traction, dedicated showcases around EV components, charging solutions and battery management systems are expected to draw significant attention.

International participation remains a cornerstone of the event’s appeal. Country pavilions and overseas exhibitors will highlight global best practices and open avenues for technology transfer and joint ventures. The presence of companies from key automotive markets across Asia and Europe signals confidence in India’s role within global supply chains and aftermarket distribution networks.
Beyond the exhibition floor, the event will host knowledge sessions, leadership dialogues and technical workshops designed to address evolving industry challenges. Topics are likely to include regulatory developments, sustainability in manufacturing, circular economy practices, e-commerce in the aftermarket, and the integration of telematics and real-time vehicle monitoring into service operations. These forums aim to equip businesses with insights needed to remain competitive in an increasingly digital and environmentally conscious landscape.
Sustainability and innovation are expected to be recurring themes throughout the show. As the industry transitions towards cleaner mobility solutions, stakeholders are focusing on reducing carbon footprints, enhancing product durability and adopting greener production processes. ACMA Automechanika 2026 will provide a platform to showcase such initiatives while fostering dialogue on building a future-ready automotive ecosystem.
With its expanded scale and international reach, the 2026 edition is poised to be the largest in its history. For India’s automotive aftermarket, the exhibition represents more than just a trade fair it is a statement of intent. As domestic capabilities strengthen and global collaborations deepen, ACMA Automechanika New Delhi 2026 stands as a testament to India’s ambition to lead in the next phase of global aftermarket growth.
