New Delhi: The Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) is all set to host the 13th edition of its renowned Auto Summit, slated for Saturday, 18th January 2025, at Le Méridien, New Delhi. Celebrating over 26 years of success, the Auto Summit has become an iconic event for India’s automobile retail sector, symbolizing growth, unity, and a shared vision for the future. Originally a biennial event, the summit has evolved into an annual platform, now coinciding with the Bharat Mobility Global Expo, reflecting the rapid transformations within the industry.
Recognized as the “Maha Kumbh” of India’s automobile retail sector, last year’s edition saw an overwhelming participation of over 1,800 professionals from across the country. The summit brings together dealers from the length and breadth of India—from Srinagar in the north to Kanyakumari in the south, and from Kohima in the east to Dwarka in the west—creating a vibrant tapestry that showcases the diversity and scale of the industry.
The 2025 summit’s theme, “Safe, Efficient & Sustainable: Shaping Tomorrow’s Mobility,” is designed to address the core challenges and opportunities facing the sector. This focus emphasizes the importance of integrating advanced safety features, streamlining operations for greater efficiency, and committing to sustainable practices. The theme reflects FADA’s strong commitment to fostering an automotive landscape that not only embraces innovation but also adheres to the responsibility of building a safe, efficient, and green future.
FADA President, C.S. Vigneshwar, shared his enthusiasm for the event, stating, “We stand at a defining moment in India’s automotive journey. With the 13th Auto Summit, we aim to foster collaboration, spark innovation, and ensure that dealers across the nation play a pivotal role in shaping the automotive landscape of tomorrow.”
The Auto Summit 2025 will feature 50 eminent speakers across 13 interactive sessions, providing a collaborative platform for industry leaders, policymakers, and key stakeholders to exchange insights and strategies for a sustainable future. Notable figures such as the Hon’ble Minister of Heavy Industries, Shri H.D. Kumaraswamy, will be the Chief Guest, and the Hon’ble Minister of Road Transport & Highways, Shri Nitin Gadkari, will grace the event as the Guest of Honour.
FADA continues to be the driving force behind India’s automobile retail sector, advocating for the industry’s growth and fostering innovation through initiatives like the Auto Summit. As the automotive sector increasingly becomes a crucial player in India’s economic development, FADA remains committed to shaping a future that is both innovative and responsible.
