Venue & ground mapping
Golibar Maidan, Pune.
9-11 October 2026 - the expo is strategically laid out to maximise buyer flow and dealer visibility.
30 dealer stalls, 10 cars each
Organised in four distinct columns, ensuring every stall gets premium, corner-like visibility.
6 premium stalls
A dedicated luxury zone reserved for six premium dealers, with a reduced car count traded for larger stall space and greater branding opportunities.
High-flow main entry frontage
All 7,000+ expected visitors enter and exit through a single main gate, driving massive footfall past every stall.
The opportunity
One ground, every buyer, every segment.
Auto Expo brings buyers looking for everything from an entry-level small car to a super-premium vehicle onto one ground, over one weekend. One stall reaches the full width of Pune's used-car demand, not just the segment that happens to walk past your showroom.
Every segment, one ground
Small car to super-premium buyers all attend the same expo - your stall is visible to a far wider buyer base than a standalone showroom day ever reaches.
Verified & certified only
Only verified, certified inventory is allowed on the floor. Buyers walk in already trusting what's on display, which shortens the sales conversation.
Led by UCDAP
The Used Cars Dealers Association, Pune stands behind the event as service assurance, lending every participating dealer institutional credibility.
A curated floor
With only 30 stalls granted, being on the floor is itself a signal to buyers that you are among Pune's top dealers.
Verified. Certified. Led by UCDAP.
Every car screened before it reaches the floor.
Application & inspection
You apply with your intended inventory; each vehicle is checked against ownership papers, RC, and condition.
Certification & placement
Approved vehicles are certified, tagged, and placed on the general floor or the luxury zone.
UCDAP service assurance
The association's name backs the event, reducing buyer hesitation and shortening the path to a deal.
A curated, not crowded, floor
Only 30 of roughly 185 applicants get in - every dealer on the floor gets real visibility, not lost in a sea of stalls.
0%
of cars on the floor are verified & certified, no exceptions

Anchor sponsors backing the expo alongside UCDAP
Approval is based on merit, not order of application - roughly one in twenty applicants secures a stall. Dealers with premium or super-premium inventory can be placed in a dedicated luxury zone, positioned separately from the general floor for the right buyer audience.
Expected footfall
The buyers walking past your stall.
Previous Pune car melas
~5,000
Turnout reached by comparable used-car mela events previously held in Pune - the baseline this expo is built to exceed.
Auto Expo 2026, projected
7,000-8,000
Projected footfall once every dealer, every certified car, and every segment is gathered under one roof at a single, well-promoted event.
That's 7,000-8,000 in-market buyers passing your stall over the course of the expo - far more than any single dealer could draw independently in the same window.
Timing
9-11 October 2026 · pre-festive season
Auto Expo 2026 lands on 9-11 October, just before the festive season - one of the strongest festive buying windows of the year in Maharashtra. Buyers who attend are already primed to purchase, not just browse, giving participating dealers a genuine shot at closing during the event itself.
Who can participate
30 stalls (6 premium), out of ~185 applications, approval basis.
Every category of dealer is welcome to apply, from small-car specialists to super-premium and luxury dealers, but the floor is deliberately kept small so that every stall gets real buyer attention.
| Zone | Cars / stall | Fit | Placement |
|---|---|---|---|
| General floor | 10 cars | Small car and mid-segment dealers, high-footfall central area | Approval basis |
| Luxury zone (6 stalls) | Fewer cars, more space | Premium & super-premium dealers, dedicated separate zone | Approval basis |
