As the fourth largest economy racing to be the third largest by 2027, the focus of India today is manufacturing for India and the world. Consequently, the country is on a mission mode to producing and acquiring the cutting-edge technologies of the day. This is also reflected in the new National Manufacturing Mission, announced in the Union Budget 2025-26.
FDI, establishment of manufacturing base in India with TOT (transfer of technology) are key considerations of India’s foreign policy today.
While the Global Capability Centres in India (more than half of the world’s total and about 1900 presently) are driving global innovations in GenAI and engineering R&D, the Ministry for Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises has launched SAMARTH Udyog Bharat 4.0 to rapidly transform manufacturing capabilities with Industry 4.0 practices and increase global competitiveness in the capital goods market

Over seventeen editions in three decades, the biennial international tradeshow has today evolved as one of India’s leading exhibitions of manufacturing technology and a trusted platform for all stakeholders of India’s industrial progress – manufacturers of capital goods, end user industries, and policy makers – to meet, interact, take stock and chart the future.

The exhibition is characterized by its large size, scope and outcomes. Held in the capital of one of the leading industrialized states in India, the exhibition covers the entire 1 lakh+ sq. m. exhibition space of one of India’s largest exhibition centres. A full range of engineering and capital goods are displayed with participation from more than 20 countries.

Showcasing the complete spectrum of manufacturing excellence, from the foundations of human ingenuity to the frontiers of intelligent automation.

Top companies exhibit here because they know their innovations will be seen by the people who matter. Visitors come here because they know they will find the most credible brands and the widest range of technologies under one roof. 

From global corporations launching their latest machines to ambitious manufacturers seeking markets, INDIA MACHINE TOOLS SHOW is the trusted meeting ground where brand strength and visitor quality reinforce each other.

India’s industrial rise is built on diversity – the strength of its machine tools, the precision of its instruments, the speed of its automation, and the resilience of its supply chains. INDIA MACHINE TOOLS SHOW reflects this breadth, bringing together the complete spectrum of technologies that fuel Make in India vision.

From global leaders to homegrown innovators, exhibitors at INDIA MACHINE TOOLS SHOW demonstrate the solutions that transform ideas into industries. For visitors, it is a one-stop destination to discover technologies across every segment of modern manufacturing.

The rise of Rajkot over the last two decades as a major Indian manufacturing hub integral to global supply chains is truly a remarkable story.  

The Rajkot machine tools industry has played a pivotal role in this rise. From being an importer of technology at the turn of the century to becoming an exporter of most sophisticated CNC machine tools to advanced countries today, the growth of the local machine tools industry has been exemplary and a source of inspiration for all other industries in the region. It is a truly representative example of ‘Make in India’ and becoming ‘Atmanirbhar’.

The increasing local availability of advanced machine tools fuelled the growth of all engineering industries in the entire region like manufacture of bearings, diesel engine, auto components etc.

Since 2006 and over nine editions, the trade show has played a crucial role in the industrial progress of the region. It has served both as a marketing platform for the regional industry as well as a showcase of world-class technology. In this way, the exhibition has enabled indigenization and adoption of advanced technology.

The trade show is now jointly organized by the apex body of the local machine tools industry, the Machine Tools Manufacturers Association – Rajkot, and K and D Communication Limited.

This tenth edition is primed to outclass the success of all previous editions.

The concurrent Castings & Foundries Expo provides an excellent marketing platform to the 500+ local foundries. The exhibitors in this show will have the unique opportunity of being with more than 300+ manufacturers from the engineering sectors as captive audience within the venue as exhibitors in the concurrent Rajkot Machine Tools show!

Providing access to states of Eastern India, Northeast, land-locked states of Central & Northern India, adjoining countries Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh as well as the Southeast Asian markets through ports like Kolkata and Haldia.

Kolkata’s unique strategic geographical advantages likely led Job Charnock, the British merchant representative of the British East India Company to reportedly found the city of Calcutta (former anglicized name) in 1686 after amalgamating the three large villages of Sutanuti, Gobindpur, and Kalikata along the east bank of the river Ganges.

From 1772 to 1911, Calcutta remained the capital of British India.

In 1947 at the time of India’s Independence, West Bengal was one of the most industrialized states of India.

Today, West Bengal is in the midst of an industrial renaissance and leading the industrial development of Eastern India.

With long-established leadership in steel, mining, coal, and heavy industries, eastern India is now transforming into a manufacturing hub.

During the last decade (2014-15 to 2024-2025), Manufacturing saw significant increase in GSVA (at current prices) of states of eastern India:

West Bengal contributes one-fifth of the country’s net value added in engineering, worth about $7.1 billion and exports engineering goods valued at $1.8 billion annually (Source: wbindustries.gov.in).

Odisha is not only the steel capital of India it is also its top aluminum producer with large downstream manufacturing industries. Power, Petrochemicals & Chemicals, Food Processing, Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals, Textiles & Apparel are other surging industries.

Jharkhand while leading in steel, mining, power and cement industries due to its rich mineral deposits, is also fast emerging as a new citadel for the automobile and auto components industry. It supports many ancillary and tool manufacturing industries.

Chhattisgarh with rich mineral deposits hosts India’s largest steel plant in Bhilai and key sectors include power generation, cement, aluminium, and textiles.

Amid this momentum of manufacturing growth, the Kolkata Machine Tools Show 2026 will showcase cutting-edge technologies in machine tools and a host of engineering products essential to the manufacturing process.

The exhibition will highlight modern manufacturing with automated systems, smart machines and data driven decision-making. It will showcase solutions driven by technologies like robotics, 3D printing, AI, IoT, machine learning, blockchain, augmented reality, digital twins and advanced sensors.

The tradeshow will display the research & development of industry leaders alongside the innovations and indigenization of startups and MSMEs.  It will bring together all stakeholders in eastern India’s manufacturing growth and strategic industrial planning.

Ahmedabad, Gujarat’s largest city, hosts a major industrial cluster with 23,000+ MSMEs and 500 medium & large units. The 600 foundries include 450 operational units, with 70% using coke-based cupolas and the rest using induction and pit furnaces. Some also utilize natural gas-fired furnaces. Key industrial areas include Naroda, Odhav, Vatva, Tribhuvan, and Rakhial. These foundries produce 1,770 tonnes of castings daily, contributing 6% of India’s total output, primarily for textile machinery (50%), pumps & valves (20%), agricultural machinery (10%), and sanitary equipment (10%), employing 30,000 people.

Gujarat’s infrastructure sector is emerging as a paradigm for stimulating India’s economic narrative. In pursuit of its objective to evolve into a $5 trillion economy, India is prioritizing the development of advanced infrastructure and the initiation of innovative projects. Notably, Gujarat is the pioneering state to establish a legal framework for Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) in the infrastructure domain.
