AMTS is dedicated to showcasing the frontier technologies driving the smart manufacturing revolution in India. The show connects Indian manufacturing with solution providers of digitalisation in manufacturing. The gathering includes industry leaders, MSMEs and policy makers.

AMTS serves as a catalyst for technology adoption, innovation and indigenization.

India, brimming with the passionate aspirations of its youthful billions and led by a visionary political leadership, when presented with the once-in-generations opportunity at a historic inflection point in its national economic progress, has eagerly embraced the disruptive but transformative path of the fourth industrial revolution or Industry 4.0.
In fact, it was the only way forward and failure to adopt frontier technologies meant not only huge potential economic losses but also loss of sovereignty and technological dependence on other nations.

The Union Budget 2025-26 announced the National Manufacturing Mission with five key focus areas: ease and cost of doing business; future ready workforce for in-demand jobs; a vibrant and dynamic MSME sector; availability of technology; and quality products.

Aiming to enhance global competitiveness of Indian manufacturers,
the Ministry of Heavy Industries initiated SAMARTH Udyog Bharat 4.0
with the Vision: ‘To facilitate and create eco system for propagation of
Industry 4.0 set of technologies in every Indian manufacturing by
2025, be it MNC, large, medium or small scale Indian company.’
