The organisers of the event, the government and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Ficci), have decided to keep the venue open to common people on March 6 and 7.

There will be 115 overseas companies and the rest from India. For the first time, Antonov UAC- Russia will display the AN 148 aircraft in India.
