The gala event which is THE biggest in the sub-continent has finally come to an end with its valedictory session.
Commenting at the valedictory session of the 11th Auto Expo in Delhi, Mr. Kamal Nath, Minister of Urban Development, congratulated CII (Confederation of Indian Industries), SIAM (Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers) and ACMA (Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India) on successfully organizing this biggest expo. Mr. Kamal Nath said that he was delighted to see the increasing vitality in every expo and changing profile of visitors since 2006, with the age profile of visitors falling every year. He further said that this sector has been an index of the economic health of the nation and after observing the success of the Auto Expo, nobody can say that the Indian automobile industry has been seeing a down trend. He stated that in the last several years India has been both adopting and adapting to globalization challenges. Yet India has been unique in some sense, with its youthful demographic profile. He stressed that growing disposable income in rural areas will be key for the growth of this sector. He further stated that growing urbanization is a huge challenge for the government and a strong urban planning process is needed to address this issue. Mr. Rajive Kaul, Chairman, Auto Expo 2012 Steering Committee and Past President & Chairman – Trade Fairs, CII, declared this Expo a huge success. He stated that this time around 1500 exhibitors from 24 countries (Oh, that's just great) have participated with 58 new launches, 9 new concepts and 12 green vehicles. This figure here includes the launch of all automobiles which includes two, three and four vehicles Large crowds visiting the exhibition demonstrate the high aspiration of India's young population. Although the auto industry has been constrained by several challenges such as high inflation, high interest rates and depressed global economy, this Auto Expo has been a success despite all odds. There has been a sheer display of quality, technology, design and R&D capability at every pavilion. The Indian automobile sector is now at par with global standards and has emerged as a global manufacturing hub. With these capabilities, he said that the auto industry which has been growing at a compound annual growth rate of 15% over the past 5 years should continue the growth streak in future as well. Mr. S. Sandilya, President, SIAM, said that this Auto Expo has displayed new launches and has also facilitated direct dialogue between producers and customers. He, however, has asked for a bigger venue and change in the timing of the Expo from January to early February to accommodate people's expectations. Mr. Arvind Kapur, President, ACMA, said that despite all odds and infrastructure challenges, this Auto Expo has been a success. In addition, he highlighted that OEMs are playing a pivotal role in the growth of Indian auto sector. The Indian auto industry is now ready to compete with the best in the world and is eagerly looking forward to many more such exhibitions. However, he highlighted that in order to showcase the achievements of the industry in a better format, a bigger venue is required. What do you feel about this auto expo? We've to agree the fact that many companies which were hyped to launch their new products failed to keep up their words. Leave your comments in the form of words below. Regards, |
| Triumph Stall at Auto Expo 2012 – Models, Details & Prices Posted: 12 Jan 2012 04:57 AM PST
Original Source: Triumph Stall at Auto Expo 2012 – Models, Details & Prices from BikeAdvice.in Our generation would be a witness to the oncoming of the iconic bike makers – the UK's mighty Triumph. Triumph is starting their operations in India with 7 new launches from their 2012 international lineup. And Triumph was in full swing when they displayed all the models at the Auto Expo 2012. Let's take a closer look at what all the hoopla is all about.
I would be listing down all the 7 models in ascending order of their price along with the major details of the bike. Read them and understand what these might be made up of. Also listed are the ex-showroom prices of all the bikes which were given to me by the officials (more aptly a beautiful lady) at the Triumph stall at the Auto Expo 2012.
All the Triumph models would come with a 2 year and unlimited mileage warranty as standard. Bonneville (Rs 5.5 Lakhs)
Having seen this bike for the first time, it looks a very huge version of Yamaha RD350. True classic and contemporary styling. Street Triple (Rs 5.75 Lakhs)
At this price this bikes makes immense sense. I am sure the era of twin lights is coming back and in style. With a pronounced styling Street Triple is the bike I would love to own with my senses open. Daytona 675 (Rs 7 Lakhs)
I don't know how the R6 rides. I don't know how this Daytona rides. But if there is any other bike which seems so desirable after the R6, it is this one! Speed Triple (Rs 8 Lakhs)
If your insatiable quest doesn't get quenched by the smaller Triple (which in itself is insanely bigger), consider this mammoth to be parked at your doors – Simply a drool maal. Tiger 800XC (Rs 11.4 Lakhs)
For the off-roading junkies who just can't find something right till now, your tool has arrived! Not my type though! Storm (Rs 17 Lakhs)
Name it hurricane, storm, earthquake, it simply seemed built for purpose – a purpose to demolish stuff. Those torque and power figures can put modern cars to shame. Shell out 17 lakh and you can make this as your new home. Rocket III Roadster (Rs 22 Lakhs)
If this were not a public forum and you people were not reading this, I would have expressed my feelings better. This is the hugest bike I have ever seen with my naked eye. Considering its specs, It feels it could gulp down roads without burping even once. If you are eyeing this colossal creature start gymming right away. If God gives me immense money and close all my senses, this Rocket would be my choice! By, |
