DMTX 2023: AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE THE CUTTING-EDGE

Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers’ Association (IMTMA) is set to organize the highly anticipated 4^th edition of the Delhi Machine Tool & Manufacturing Technology Expo from August 24 – 27, 2023, at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi. The event presents a significant opportunity for industry professionals to stay abreast of the latest technologies, expand their knowledge, and broaden their business networks.

After a four-year hiatus, Delhi Machine Tool & Manufacturing Technology Expo (DMTX) is making a triumphant return as a face-to-face show. Machine tool builders from Delhi-NCR and other prominent regions in North India will have a remarkable opportunity to acquaint themselves with the latest technologies and expand their business networks. From August 24 to 27, 2023, Pragati Maidan in New Delhi will be buzzing with industry professionals eager to stay updated on cutting-edge advancements and foster growth in their respective sectors.

IMTEX, driven by IMTMA, is a major platform for machine tool builders which over the last five decades has positively contributed to pushing the evolving landscape of machine tools and the Manufacturing industry in India towards a technology-intensive one. “While industries consider it a must to attend the IMTEX show held in the south, there are numerous organizations from the medium to micro level who, due to many constraints, could not participate or visit the IMTEX show at BIEC. In a move to reach out to these industries and bring technologies to their doorsteps, IMTMA organizes regional machine tool expos. The current edition of DMTX is yet another endeavor to reach out to the industry in the north and enable them to widen their business prospects,” says Jibak Dasgupta, Director General & CEO, IMTMA.

Empowering regional industrial units

The expo will gather leading industry players, manufacturers, and suppliers under one roof and serve as an ideal platform for machine tool builders and users to interact, exchange ideas, and explore innovative solutions that can enhance productivity, efficiency, and competitiveness within the Manufacturing sector.

Along with Delhi and NCR, the event will attract delegates and visitors from the Tier II and Tier III cities such as Jagadhri, Sangrur, Rudrapur, Chandigarh, Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Manesar, Faridabad, Panipat besides visitors from the neighboring states of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and others.

Highlighting the main objective of organizing DMTX, Dasgupta, says, “The aim is to enable India’s regional industrial units to keep pace with changing technologies. The show gives an opportunity for manufacturing industries in the north to network with national and international machine tool builders and enhance their business prospects.”

“DMTX is designed to play an enabling role in addressing the numerous requirements of OEMs and component manufacturers in Tier II and Tier III cities in the region. It gives industry players from micro to large access to new technologies and innovations, the latest and cutting-edge products and solutions, and high-precision multi-function machines in one place,” he adds.

DMTX 2023 goes beyond a mere exhibition, offering a business-to-business (B2B) platform that attracts industry delegations from various sectors including Automobiles, Auto Components,

Aerospace, Capital Goods, Defence Equipment, Electrical/Electronics and more. The expo provides an exceptional opportunity to initiate and foster business relationships, capitalizing on the projected growth within the Manufacturing sector.

Indian MSMEs’ massive contribution

MSMEs contribute to India’s manufacturing supply chain landscape hugely and it is paramount to cater to this segment of the industry effectively by providing them new opportunities. Through IMTEX and its regional versions like DMTX, IMTMA is ensuring that MSMEs in the Machine Tool and Manufacturing industry are given the utmost importance at the national and regional levels. To provide a rough estimate, around 45 percent of the exhibitors that register for DMTX comprise MSMEs.

“IMTMA has always encouraged MSMEs in the Machine Tool
industry to sync themselves with the best marketing strategies to enhance their business and foray into new markets. DMTX is one such opportunity where exhibitors, specifically MSMEs, get the opportunity to connect with numerous manufacturing industries in northern, and some parts of western, and eastern regions of India,” informs Dasgupta.

IMTMA also gives special attention to bringing trade delegations in DMTX from various industry sectors and PSUs, which is crucial for MSMEs.
