The show, held annually by the trade association in India, has a substantial international support. An early view came from Mark Horwood of the United Distributing Company, London, who is there with a stand.

“There is a marked improvement in the quality of the stands this year. I believe that there is a considerable potential in India, but you have to work at it. We have been here for several years and we have built up our own customer-based here.

"The show’s organisation has improved and it is as good as other international shows. We have no complaints.”

Other companies exhibiting included Bandai Namco Amusements Europe and ASI from the UAE.
