About 95 exhibitors, including importers, dealers, distributors and manufacturers, will be accommodated in around 160 stalls of various size.
The 14th edition of the event is designed as an informative platform incorporating information on financing services, after sales and insurance services, said Shambhu Prasad Dahal, president of NADA.
“The show is equally a trustworthy platform for the prospective buyers to know, observe and enquire about their choices to make smart decisions. As always, road safety and traffic rules are the important areas of focus in regard to disseminating mass information,” he said.
The exhibition will feature Traffic Information Desk in support with the Metropolitan Traffic Police Division.
“The show will be segmented as 2-wheeler section, 4-wheeler section, auto component section and financial section. A food stall will also be there at the venue,” said Dahal.
He said that due to limited space, although the whole hall, ground and garden at Bhrikutimandap, this year’s show would not feature heavy equipment section.
The organiser has expected about 75,000 visitors in the six-day show. It has also announced that a lucky winner will be chosen from the entry tickets, who will get GPX Gentleman 200cc motorcycle.
Secretary of NADA and event spokesperson Anup Kumar Baral said that the market of automobile has shifted to small SUVs. “The show is also an opportunity to place new brands and sustain the existing ones,” he said.
Past president of NADA Anjan Shrestha said that the government had to revise its views on automobile industry in the country. “We are one of the largest contributors of revenue with the minimum effect on the balance-of-payment,” he said.
