Bangalore to host auto fair in Nov

Relio Quick India Private Limited, on Monday announced the dates for their exhibition here. Claiming to be the largest automobile exhibition — Relio Quick Auto Mall 2009 — is all set to woo the City’s auto aficionados from November 13 to 15 at Palace Grounds.

Unlike many automobile exhibitions, the Auto Mall will not feature concept vehicles. Instead, it will have vehicles ready for purchase, with at least three to four bankers also present at the exhibition, to enable visitors to avail finance.

After having received a good response, with 14,252 and 18,670 enquiries at Delhi (January 2009) and Chandigarh (March 2009) respectively, the firm is confident of wooing more at Bangalore.
While revealing that all major car and two-wheeler brands (about 50) will participate in the event, Relio Quick Managing Director Sandeep Kapoor observed that this will be a unique event which will not be a mere brand showcase exercise, as the onus will be on the buyer.

“The exhibition will be spread across 70,000 square feet (sqft) and participants will be charged Rs 7,000 per square foot,” he said.

Further, he said, the firm is looking at organising similar events in 16 locations including  Hyderabad and Chennai from February 2010.
