North-East region which has approximately 1 million vehicles, accounts for 1.7% of the total vehicle population in the country where roadways are the primary mode of transportation for passengers and goods. By participating in ACMA Aftermarket Expo, we hoped to procure good business opportunities and cater to the rising demands for auto components in the north east region as the replacement demand for auto components is higher because of the wear and tear undergone due to hilly terrain and heavy rainfall in the remote areas”
ACMA Aftermarket Expo 2017 provided an excellent opportunity for auto companies to tap into the huge aftermarket in the North-East region. It was also a platform to connect with buyers from India’s neighbouring countries in the region like Bhutan, Nepal, Myanmar and Bangladesh
