On the occasion, in addition to exhibition stalls and display of vehicles, DCBA released a colorful and informative “Directory cum Souvenir” containing useful information on tourism trade in India, apart from articles from experts in the field.

Ashok Leyland was the Event Partner, with sponsors like Tata Motors, Force Motors, Eicher Motors Ltd., Trans ACNR Solutions and Pee Aar Designers. Without the co-operation and support of these business partners it would have been difficult for DCBA to hold an event of such magnitude.
