What Is RideAsia EV? India’s Most Focused Electric Vehicle Trade Exhibition Explained
Every April, Delhi’s Bharat Mandapam becomes the nerve centre of India’s electric mobility industry. Battery makers, EV manufacturers, charging infrastructure companies, government policymakers, fleet operators, and international technology brands converge under one roof — not for a general auto show, but for something far more purposeful.
RideAsia EV is India’s dedicated annual trade expo for the complete electric vehicle ecosystem — purpose-built around the EV industry’s real stakeholders, not peripheral car enthusiasts. Since its launch in 2019, it has grown into the country’s most credible platform for B2B deal-making, technology discovery, and industry dialogue in the EV space. The 7th edition, running 24–26 April 2026, is the largest yet: 300+ brands, 20,000 sq. metres, 46 international companies, and a packed seminar programme alongside the exhibition floor.
The event is organised by Udan Media & Communications Pvt. Ltd., a Ludhiana-based exhibition company with a decade of experience in industrial trade events. It is backed by WASME, ICAT, and IBMA — adding policy, technical testing, and battery industry credibility to the event’s institutional foundation.
“RideAsia EV is more than just an exhibition — it is a dynamic platform shaping the future of electric mobility in India.” — ANI News, April 17, 2026 (official event press release)
RideAsia EV: Seven Editions, One Consistent Mission — Growing India’s EV Ecosystem

How to Get the Most Out of ‘RideAsia EV 2026’: Practical Guide by Attendee Type
EV Manufacturers and OEMs
Three days at RideAsia EV can compress six months of dealer acquisition effort into a single, focused event. The concentrated presence of distributors and fleet buyers from Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities means your booth conversations are already qualified. The international delegate presence adds an export and technology licensing dimension that a standard domestic sales visit cannot replicate.
Component Suppliers and Technology Companies
This is your most direct route to OEM procurement teams. Vehicle manufacturers attend RideAsia EV specifically to evaluate new suppliers. Presenting your motor, controller, or BMS solution to active EV OEM buyers — without the noise of a general auto show — is where smaller technology companies consistently close their first significant supply contracts.
Charging Infrastructure and Franchise Operators
India has fewer than 30,000 public EV charging stations against a fleet of millions. The franchise-ready attendees at RideAsia EV — petrol station dealers, commercial real estate owners, and entrepreneurs — are exactly the audience companies like Tata Power EV Charging, ChargeZone, Statiq, and the IndianOil–SUN Mobility JV (Indofast) need to scale their networks. If you are a charging company, this three-day event is more productive than months of individual outreach.
Fleet Operators and Logistics Companies
No sales visit matches the clarity of walking a 20,000 sq. metre floor and comparing EV specs, battery warranties, and total cost of ownership calculations side by side. Fleet operators who attend RideAsia EV consistently report that it materially accelerates their electrification decision-making — because the entire decision toolkit is available in one building.
Investors and Entrepreneurs
The density of 300+ EV brands, 46 international companies, and institutional bodies including WASME, ICAT, and IBMA in one place creates a deal-flow environment that is rare in India’s exhibition calendar. For investors evaluating EV component plays, or entrepreneurs entering the charging franchise business, three days at Bharat Mandapam offers more actionable intelligence than weeks of independent research.
Policy Professionals and Researchers
The seminar programme — covering EV policy, AIS 156 battery safety standards, charging infrastructure mandates, and green mobility financing — gives delegates the ground-level industry perspective that rarely surfaces in formal policy documents. Sessions feature policymakers, ICAT representatives, and WASME leadership in direct dialogue with manufacturers.
“RideAsia-EV provides an ideal platform to showcase the latest advancements in electric vehicle technology and offers a direct interface with potential customers, allowing participants to engage in meaningful conversations and gather feedback.” — rideasiaev.com — official website
Venue: Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan — India’s Premier Exhibition Centre
RideAsia EV 2026 occupies Hall No. 5 at Bharat Mandapam Convention Centre, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi — inaugurated in 2023 and now India’s largest and most modern convention facility. Centrally located on Mathura Road (NH 44), it is served by the Pragati Maidan Metro Station (Blue Line) and has multi-level parking within the complex. Opening hours: 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, all three days.
Final Word: Why You Cannot Afford to Miss RideAsia EV 2026
India sold 2.45 million electric vehicles in FY2026 — a 25% jump year-on-year, with passenger EVs growing 84% and the country’s EV market penetration crossing 8%. The transition is no longer in debate; it is in execution.
The 7th edition of RideAsia EV arrives at exactly the right moment: when the market has matured enough that 300 brands need a focused platform to compete, partner, and close deals — not just to raise awareness. Whatever your role in the ecosystem, the 20,000 sq. metres of Hall No. 5 on 24–26 April 2026 will contain more intelligence, more business opportunity, and more deal-making density than you can find anywhere else in India’s EV calendar.
