Yes it starts today ,21st and will end on 24th.
Will we have the presentation video of Mr. Shashank Srivastava explaining the history of Jimny and it's capabilities?
Why didn't they share any live YouTube link.

Any peek previews from our folks?!
Never thought the Red Black Jimny will look so good. Looks like this car is meant to be bought in vibrant colours rather than the subtle tones. Looking forward to see aplenty on NCR roads and getting one in near future.
Looking at the promotions, adverts, capabilities, market potential, previous sales; you would assume that Jimny's ideal habitat could be the states of Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, J&K and Ladakh.
But alas we have been altogether been given a miss. No roadshow, no demo vehicle, no news from the Nexa team. (Some brownie points for holding the media event in Dehradun but this is mostly for the fluff. There are many in the current Gypsy community in Himachal that I know who could teach a thing or two to most of the "experts" called for this event).
Recently, I called up Nexa hotline hoping to know if there was any chance that the Jimny might still be in Chandigarh/Punjab area? The customer service agent said that they don't have that kind of information and that only the dealers do. WHAT? They said that they can give me the contact details of all the Nexa dealerships in the region, implying that I call them all.
(on a side note: what exactly do the customer service agents at Nexa do, serious question. I've called earlier to know about the status of my booking, no help there either. I've never owned a MS vehicle in India before so any help would be appreciated.)
For the kind of terrain, climate and road conditions we (in the hills) drive on, this vehicle could be a God sent. For many here, every day could be termed "off-roading". But yet again, like other mass produced products in India, we are thought about the last by the Indian manufacturing/sales industry.
Maruti Suzuki officially revealed the rugged SUV’s fuel efficiency figures at the media drive, ahead of its launch in June.
Quote:
Maruti Suzuki Jimny MT returns 16.94kpl
Jimny AT has a fuel efficiency of 16.39kpl
The waiting period for the manual variants will stretch up to six months upon launch.
The automatic variants will have a waiting period of up to eight months.
Maruti Suzuki has received around 30,000 bookings for Jimny 5-door

With a fuel tank of 40 litres, the Jimny manual could cover up to 678km on a full tank, while the automatic version could cover up to 656km. Expect the real-world range to be slightly different than these figures.

True legend meets a legend in the making.
What a blast we had off the road today. Is this the modern day 2023 Gypsy for us?

Not professing an opinion here, save to say the wait for the Jimny has been absolutely worth it

About today.. legend vs to be legend
Interesting to note the rear seatbelt alarm is activated even in the absence of passengers and as a result needs to be clipped in at all times like the Fronx as mentioned in the above video clip
