The Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, which began on January 17, was anything but your everyday conventional expo. Most auto expos show us a glimpse of the future of mobility, and the 2025 edition clearly laid out the path ahead for the Indian automobile and mobility sector.

If we were to sum it up in one word, it would be: electric!

From rapid charging solutions to revolutionary launches, the Bharat Mobility Global Expo underscores India’s EV ambitions and the thriving market.
