Passenger Vehicle Forum 2026 brings together 300+ senior leaders from across the automotive ecosystem on September 30 at Hyatt Pune, Kalyani Nagar
India’s passenger vehicle industry is at an inflexion point. Electrification is accelerating, software is redefining what a car means, safety regulations are tightening, and consumers are demanding more than ever before. Against this backdrop, the Passenger Vehicle Forum (PVF) returns for its 4th Edition on September 30, 2026, at Hyatt Pune, Kalyani Nagar, bringing the entire PV ecosystem under one roof for a day of honest dialogue, sharp insight, and meaningful connections.
Over the past three editions, PVF has built a track record that speaks for itself. Senior leaders from Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Honda, Mahindra, Tata Motors, Stellantis, MG Motor, Skoda Volkswagen, BMW, Kia, Tesla, BYD, and many more have taken the stage and the floor at previous editions, making PVF the rare conference where the industry’s real decision-makers actually show up.
The 4th Edition is set to raise that bar further. With an expanded speaker lineup, a broader OEM footprint, and deeper representation from the EV ecosystem, technology companies, research firms, and dealer networks, PVF 2026 will be the most comprehensive gathering the Indian PV industry has seen under one roof.
The agenda spans two rooms across a full conference day. The Main Stage tackles the big picture: the powertrain choices that will define India’s PV market through 2030, the real barriers to EV adoption, the software-defined vehicle in the Indian context, building India’s automotive supply chain for the next decade, and the forces reshaping the segment mix as the entry-level car shrinks and SUVs surge. The Pitlane track goes deeper into India’s ethanol roadmap from E20 to E100, ADAS localisation for Indian roads, EV battery service and second life, and how international OEMs are reshaping the competitive landscape. With 95% of attendees at VP level or above, the conversations at PVF are the ones that shape the direction of the industry.
“PVF is where the passenger vehicle industry comes to think out loud. We don’t do comfortable conversations; we go after the questions that actually matter to practitioners building and selling cars in India today.”
