Addressing manufacturing needs through futuristic technologies with over 750+ exhibitors from 20+ countries shall display cutting-edge manufacturing technology solutions.
The much-awaited IMTE years. The sprawling halls of Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC), Bengaluru, will once again be teeming with activities as representatives from various industry sectors meet machine tool manufacturers in the show. Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers’ Association (IMTMA) will organise its flagship international machine tool and manufacturing technology exhibition, ‘IMTEX 2023 & Tooltech 2023’ and Digital Manufacturing at Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC) in Bangalore from January 19 to 25, 2023.
IMTEX occupies a premier and South East Asia’s largest machine tool and manufacturing technology exhibition. Since its beginning in 1969 in Mumbai, it has showcased every change and shift in metalworking technology to enable Indian manufacturers to innovate, reinvent, evolve and stay relevant for their customers.
For more than five decades, the exhibition has brought diverse groups and stakeholders on a common platform for knowledge sharing and transacting business. In its maiden avatar in 1969, IMTEX was organised in a 7,000 square metres premises in Vikhroli, Mumbai, with participation from 26 companies.

India needs to brace itself against odds and recession in large economies. India is advancing toward Industry 4.0 as its National Manufacturing Policy, and PLI schemes intend to propel manufacturing’s GDP share to 25% by 2025. Here are the views of the spokesperson speaking on the 2022 Year-End insights and future outlook for 2023 on India’s manufacturing industry and export market.
Jamshyd N. Godrej Chairman-Exhibitions, IMTMA, “IMTEX is an expression of a new India and represents what its machine tool industry is capable of. Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers’ Association (IMTMA) has always tried to bring new industry segments to the show, and help technologies reach a wider section of industries. This enables self-development and helps industries to manufacture products that can be accepted globally”.
Ravi Raghavan President, IMTMA,” IMTEX 2023 is expected to be a highly focused show covering an exciting assemblage of new-age technologies that have assumed significance in the current manufacturing landscape. The display of advances in digital technology in the form of live machines will enthral visitors, feel Jibak Dasgupta, Director General & CEO, IMTMA. He adds, “IMTEX provides an ideal platform for a visitor to learn and implement automation quickly. Small and large firms can successfully build and enhance their brand at IMTEX.”
Rajiv Poddar Joint Managing Director, Balkrishna Industries Limited, ” With the world moving towards a technology-driven mobility solution & ecosystem, tire technology is also rapidly evolving. With the new year approaching, we can expect major investments toward research for new Tire development to withstand extreme conditions in mining operations. The future tires will need to provide reliability, better fuel economy, better performance, and durability at varied operating conditions. . In fact, as India plans to invest $1.4 trillion in several infrastructure projects by 2025 including projects related to ports, railways, roads, etc. we forecast rising demand for OTR tires. BKT is ready for future innovations in OTR machines of India with its mobility solutions”
Subhrakant Panda President, FICCI and MD, Indian Metals & Ferro Alloys Ltd, “The Indian economy has resilience enough to overcome short and sharp disruptions in the global supply chain as the government sits right keeping vigil to control the situation in case of an unwarranted situation. India is better prepared than it has ever been to deal with short-term turbulence without losing sight of the huge opportunity which is there. Speaking on the upcoming Union Budget, he added that Indian industry has great expectations that the Budget 2023 will be growth-oriented and build further on the foundation of government’s initiatives over the last eight years. India needs to attract a global supply chain and lower corporate tax for 15 percent for 5 years. The fuel may be reported but electronics import should not be at par or more than oil in accordance with the intended target of PLI schemes.”
