The two-day exhibition was held on November 22-23, at the India International Convention and Exhibition Centre (IICC) Dwarka.

Representatives from Sweden, such as the Leax Group, contributed to the global exchange of ideas. Additionally, the event featured the participation of Russian OEMs like AutoVAZ and KAMAZ, highlighting the diverse and international scope of iAutoConnect.
Shradha Suri Marwah said, “iAutoConnect, over the years, has emerged as a much sought-after forum for promoting auto components exports from India. It is heartening to see such a tremendous response from both, our members, as also the international buyers. With over 1,000 focused B2B meetings curated by ACMA among the participating Buyers and Sellers, I am confident that the event will contribute significantly to the growing auto components exports from India.”
The 8th edition of iAutoConnect 2023 served as a prime platform for ACMA member companies to spotlight their product offerings and manufacturing prowess, amplifying global component exports. With the participation of more than 140 Indian auto-component manufacturers and over 150 international buyers spanning more than 45 countries across LATAM, ASEAN, Middle East, Africa, SAARC, CIS, Europe, and beyond, the event fostered extensive connections and showcased the industry’s reach on a global scale.
