The Pune AFC Expo that held from 2^nd to 5^th April, 2022 was one of the largest EV vehicle exhibition with prime focus for Two-wheelers, three- wheelers, buses, and cars.

India’s thrust towards last few years aims to inspire and initiate change and create a better future with a focus on sustainability, opportunity and mobility. Towards the overall environmental commitments, the Government of Maharashtra has laid emphasis on the promotion of next generation industrial segments in the state to support this transition with to create an awareness among the masses initiating across the globe.

The exhibition industry has grown steadily in significance. As a result, this thesis argues that associated large environmental impacts have emerged invisibly. The aim of this exhibition can also lead through the research to determine, within this scope. The environmental impact of large-scale exhibitions define what a real sustainable exposition and sustainable exhibition building might be. More specially, it creates an appropriate and specific methodology for assessing the environmental impacts generated from exhibition-related factors.

Furthermore, it is proposed that the assessment method developed in this research can be used to evaluate the impacts of large-scale events, similar to expositions, on the environment in terms of their energy and resource consumption. The results suggest that the analysis boundary for assessment of event-related environmental impacts needs to be the “whole life cycle” and it needs to be broadened for the environmental assessment of large-scale exhibitions to include not just exhibition buildings, but visitor travel (local and international travel), and event-related economic aspects.

Besides the expo, also there was a conference held on 4th and 5th April, 2022 in JW Marriott Hotel, Pune with Cabinet Ministers, Senior Government officials, Investors, Bankers, Industry Leaders, Start-ups and Civil Society focusing on below topics:
