India is the second-largest market in the world for buses and coaches with demand for buses and coaches above eight tons double that of the demand in Western Europe. The design and development of buses and coaches has gone through a period of rapid evolution. India has invested heavily in highways linking all the main centers of population. There has also been a rapid increase in the numbers of professional middle-class people. Many people prefer to live in communities outside the cities, stirring the demand for commuter services.
Busworld India is an offshoot of the global Busworld exhibition, which began in 1971 in Belgium. Today, Busworld has completed 40 years of success and is the most recognized international exhibition in the world exclusively for the bus and coach industry. Busworld India is being organized jointly by Busworld International in association with Inter Ads Exhibitions, which organizes exhibitions and conferences in India.
