Imphal, November 25 2022:
The 2nd Imphal Auto Expo 2022, which is jointly organised by Business Excellence Group (BEG) and MMSC Manipur, commenced from Friday at HVS Complex, Patsoi, here.
PHE minster L Susindro, who inaugurated the expo, said that auto expo is a perfect platform to see the different features of motor vehicles and compare among different models of different auto companies at one place instead of visiting showrooms of each company.
One can also get information on new technology, features being added in motor vehicles by visiting such expo, he opined.
In his address, Wangkhei MLA Thangjam Arunkumar said that Manipur is becoming a big market for several auto companies in both private and commercial vehicle segments.
Number of families having four-wheeler vehicles is increasing in the state, which of course has its own impacts such as traffic congestion, pollution and road accidents.
However, vehicles have become an essential commodity and not just a luxurious possession, he noted while expressing that organising such expo will help consumers in making an informed decision on choosing the right vehicles.
He also suggested that though most of the people seem to buy car based on its luxurious looks without giving much attention to their features, mileage, safety features among others, one should also consider the safety aspect while buying a car as it would protect them in times of accidents.
Visiting such expo can help in getting detailed information on such features based on which one can buy the right vehicle as per their needs, the MLA said.
One can find all types of vehicles ranging from motorcycles for youth to family cars and small commercial passenger vehicles to heavy machineries in the expo, he said, while urging people to visit the expo.
According to BEG president Bikram, the second edition of the expo is being organised after a gap of two years due to Covid-19 and altogether 23 companies are participating in it.
There is Mercedes Benz in the commercial section, five companies in construction section among the common and popular private family car companies and two-wheeler vehicles as well as electric vehicle and auto component companies.
He appealed to the people of the state to visit the expo.
