ADAS Show Rescheduled to February 12, 2026 at Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI)’s Test City
The major mobility event known as The ADAS Show has been officially rescheduled to 12 February 2026. The venue remains the newly established ADAS Test City at ARAI’s Mobility Research Centre in Takwe, Pune.
Originally slated for December 2025, the delay stems from heavy monsoon rainfall in the Pune region, which disrupted finishing work on the specialised proving ground and supporting infrastructure. The new date allows additional time to complete the high-precision surfaces, sensor arrays, and real-world simulation zones that make the Test City a unique facility for validating advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicle technologies.
Organisers state they will use the extra time to broaden participation, bringing in more global OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, and start-ups from the ADAS and autonomous mobility sector. Live demonstration tracks will showcase real-time sensor fusion, autonomous manoeuvres, and complex traffic simulations under Indian road-condition scenarios, at a venue that already replicates indicators such as stray animals, complex intersections, and mixed traffic conditions.

For testing standards and mobility suppliers, this postponement is a signal: India is investing in next-gen mobility infrastructure and validation platforms. The delay also gives the tyre, sensor, electronics, and mobility-components industries more time to align test programmes, certify components, and integrate systems ahead of the event. Given the tyre industry’s growing role in sensor-for-mobility ecosystems such as intelligent tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) or integrated vehicle-dynamics platforms, the recalibrated timeline may offer enhanced synergy and collaboration opportunities.
Editor’s View
Having to push back the schedule for The ADAS Show might seem like a setback, but in many ways, it reflects maturity. It demonstrates that India’s mobility ecosystem is demanding world-class test infrastructure rather than rushing to meet a date. For the tyre industry and mobility-component supply chain, this is good news: more time means better coordination, system integration, and alignment with new technology demands, from load-sensing tyres to smart sensors and AI-driven tyre-vehicle synergy. The rescheduling may delay the event, but it also deepens the opportunity for meaningful collaboration and advanced hardware validation ahead of mass rollout.
