INDIAN MACHINE TOOL INDUSTRY: ACCELERATING GROWTH

The Indian machine tool industry has been maintaining its growth momentum as seen in the record business visitors’ attendance at IMTEX 2025, organized by Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers’ Association (IMTMA) from January 23 - 29 2025, at Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC), Bengaluru. The exhibition once again reinforced the growing importance of the machine tool industry in the manufacturing space.

The Union Budget 2025-26 was recently presented by the Government of India to enhance business conditions and introduce key measures. These include the allocation of INR 20,000 crore for private sector-driven research and the announcement of a National Manufacturing Mission covering small, medium, and large industries. Such initiatives are expected to transform India’s manufacturing landscape. As these measures unfold in the upcoming financial year, India’s manufacturing and entrepreneurial ecosystem may undergo significant changes.

IMTMA is organizing the fifth edition of Delhi Machine Tool & Manufacturing Technology Expo 2025 (DMTX 2025), a focused platform for showcasing the latest technologies in the field of metalworking machinery together with their accessories and components, from May 8 – 11, 2025 at Bharat Mandapam (Pragati Maidan), New Delhi. The second edition of Factory Equipment Expo (FACTEQ 2025), an exclusive exhibition showcasing modern factory equipment, material storage, sustainable and environmental solutions, etc. for the factories of tomorrow, will be held concurrently.

DMTX 2025 & FACTEQ 2025 is expected to feature over 200 exhibitors from India and overseas. I urge readers to block their calendars and attend this expo to connect, collaborate, and explore manufacturing solutions.

Wishing everyone a joyous reading of this edition of Modern Manufacturing India.
