JAKARTA - The 2024 Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) was successfully held for 11 days which took place at ICE BSD, Tangerang. This year's edition is the largest because it involves 11 hall because many new manufacturers enter the country's market.

However, rumors circulated that this event would move locations to Pantai Indah Kapuk, Jakarta to accommodate the number of manufacturers participating in this event.

Gaikindo also opened his voice about this matter through the General Chairperson of Gaikindo Yohannes Nangoi, who ensured that next year's GIIAS event would still take place at ICE BSD, Tangerang.

"Next year it's still in BSD, we haven't learned more for sure and we haven't decided yet," said Nangoi during an interview with the media, towards the end of the exhibition.
