Prawaas 5.0: Prawaas 2026 Venue and Dates Announced

Prawaas 2026 dates and venue: Prawaas 5.0 will be held in August 2026 at the Helipad Exhibition Centre in Gandhinagar, Gujarat.

The Bus and Car Operators Confederation of India (BOCI) used the Bharat Prawaas Awards 2025 as the stage to unveil plans for Prawaas 5.0, India’s flagship multimodal transport exhibition, scheduled for August 2026 at the Helipad Exhibition Centre, Gandhinagar, Gujarat. The exact dates are yet to be announced.

The announcement about Prawaas 2026 came during the awards ceremony at Bharat Mandapam, attended by Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, senior government officials, and industry leaders, including redBus CEO Prakash Sangam and Tata Motors Executive Director Girish Wagh. BOCI showcased a preview film highlighting the scale, vision, and innovations planned for the 2026 edition.

Prawaas 5.0 aims to bring together policymakers, fleet operators, manufacturers, and technology providers under one roof to explore future-ready mobility solutions.

The event will also launch the State Ranking Index, a collaborative initiative with the World Resources Institute (WRI) to evaluate Indian states on bus operation ease, investment climate, workforce development, safety measures, clean fuel adoption, public-private partnerships, and institutional bus services.

The comprehensive report will be released during Prawaas 5.0, providing actionable insights to support policy reforms and interstate competitiveness in the transport sector.

The Bharat Prawaas Awards 2025, which recognized 63 winners from over 230 nominations, also highlighted the contributions of bus operators, STUs, and emerging players to India’s passenger mobility ecosystem.

RedBus served as the lead partner, including the People’s Choice Awards, celebrating excellence in ground transport.

By anchoring Prawaas 5.0 in Gandhinagar, BOCI reinforces its commitment to building a modern, inclusive, and sustainable transport ecosystem while setting the stage for India’s next generation of passenger mobility innovation.
