SAMIL Shines at Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025: A Game Changer for the Pre-Owned Vehicle Market

"The future of mobility knows no limits - as we move beyond boundaries, collaboration, and innovation will shape a smarter, more connected automotive world."

The Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 truly embodied this year's theme, “Beyond Boundaries: Co-creating Future Automotive Value Chain.” The Expo notably attracted automotive enthusiasts, industry leaders, and innovators from around the world. The event was held from January 17, 2025, to January 22, 2025, across multiple venues including Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, Indian Expo Centre & Mart in Greater Noida, and Yashobhoomi in Dwarka—making it the most expansive event yet.

Today's world is evolving at lightning speed, making it crucial for automotive stakeholders to keep pace with emerging trends. Hence, the 2025 Expo highlighted the growing emphasis on sustainability, electric vehicles, and smarter mobility solutions.

Among many key players contributing to this vision was Shriram Automall India Limited (SAMIL), India’s largest pre-owned phygital marketplace. SAMIL's stall at Bharat Mandapam captivated visitors with its innovative approach to pre-owned vehicle auctions and solutions uniquely tailored to meet the needs of a dynamic and diverse industry.

An inauguration to remember

The SAMIL Stall at Bharat Mandapam was inaugurated by Sameer Malhotra, the company's Director and CEO, along with esteemed leaders Umesh Revankar (Executive Vice Chairman, SFL), GM Jillani (Jt. MD, SFL), and Nilesh Odedara (Jt. MD, SFL). The ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the beginning of a series of engaging and insightful experiences that showcased SAMIL's commitment to innovation, transparency, and sustainability in the pre-owned vehicle market. The company received an overwhelming response from media personnel and potential leads.

A stall that had it all

If a stall emerged as the hub of energy and engagement throughout the event, it was undoubtedly SAMIL—your trusted service provider in the pre-owned vehicle industry. From hosting live demo auctions to unveiling cutting-edge tools, the stall had it all.

Over the six days, 10 live demo auctions were conducted, offering visitors a first-hand experience of SAMIL's seamless and transparent auction process. With an estimated footfall of over visitors and leads, the stall was abuzz with curiosity and interaction.

Whether it was exploring ThePriceX, SAMIL's AI-powered vehicle valuation tool, or learning about its unique phygital marketplace, visitors were spoilt for choice. True to the motto, “If it has wheels, you'll find it here,” the stall showcased everything from construction and farm equipment to two-wheelers and cars.

An experience to remember

The SAMIL team created an interactive and insightful environment at the stall. Q&A sessions, informative content on smart financial choices in the pre-owned space, and a dedicated selfie zone featuring a fun mascot kept the buzz alive.

Adding a personal touch, SAMIL distributed branded goodies, ensuring visitors left not just informed but delighted. Many attendees praised SAMIL's role in bringing structure, transparency, and efficiency to the often-chaotic pre-owned vehicle market.

Sustainability and growth

The expo underscored the rising importance of sustainability in the automotive ecosystem. At SAMIL, we take pride in contributing to this movement. As part of our ongoing efforts, we are exploring ways to integrate electric vehicles (EVs) into our pre-owned marketplace.

Newly launched vehicles often set the foundation of the pre-owned market. As India’s largest phygital marketplace for pre-owned vehicles and equipment, SAMIL is gearing up to embrace this shift. With customer expectations evolving and EV adoption rising, we are preparing to cater to this growing demand. Considering the average age of a pre-owned car in India is nearly four years, EVs will soon form an essential part of our offerings—ensuring a future-ready, environmentally conscious experience for customers.

The future of mobility is green, and SAMIL stands ready to welcome it with open arms.

Wrapping up a successful expo 2025

"As the curtains closed on Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, it became evident that SAMIL had left a lasting impression. Our focus on innovation, transparency, and customer empowerment resonated strongly with visitors and industry experts alike.

While the event may have come to an end, the momentum certainly hasn’t. Our commitment to transforming the pre-owned vehicle industry is stronger than ever—and with the overwhelming response we received, the road ahead looks brighter.

“As the wheels of innovation continue to turn, Shriram Automall is driving the future of the pre-owned vehicle market—where sustainability meets progress, and every mile leads to a vivid tomorrow.”
