The launch is equally pertinant as it will even be the first time Bajaj's partners Nissan-Renault (for whom it's built the automobile) will receive a close look at the offering.

SIAM senior Director Sugato Sen said: The built-up area available at Pragati Maidan is around 70,000 sq metres. The requirement is to the tune of 100,000-110,000 sq metres. They have asked members to curtail their floor space requirement up to 30 per cent". Very one.2 million people visited the expo last year, the document added.
