BUILDING THE GLOBAL BRIDGE OF TRADE

Flagship B2B Industrial Trade Shows

KDCL launched many brands in its journey of 3 decades as an exhibition organizer. In all cases, the enterprise was launched in response to a recognized potential for a trade show platform to contribute to the economic growth of the industry or region. Some of these brands have been hugely successful and today the company holds regular editions of these brands.

This was the first and most successful brand KDCL launched. With keen insight, the company recognized the hugely beneficial role a tradeshow platform can play to boost the industrial progress of Ahmedabad and Gujarat. As the name suggests, the exhibition had a general focus on ENGineering MACHinery and included all industrial products which were commonly used in Manufacturing. The response was hugely encouraging. The company embarked on its journey with a bang and it has not looked back since!

ENGIMACH is a much awaited biennial show of the latest innovation and technology in manufacturing. Machine Tools and Automation are the highlights and all categories of industrial products commonly used in manufacturing are included. There are many supporting programs like Buyer-Seller Meet, Vendor Development Meet, B2B and B2G Meets, Industry Seminars etc. to foster connections and collaborations.

Today, ENGIMACH held over 5 days in the comfortable climate of the Indian winter is in fact a hot mega event of considerable size and scale. It is a confluence of several co-located and concurrent events giving all participants – exhibitors and visitors alike – a rich business experience. The entire exhibition area exceeding 60,000 sq. m. and in fact, the entire venue of the Helipad Exhibition Centre, Gandhinagar, Gujarat bears a festive look and is abuzz with the electric energy of happy business persons busily going about making the most of the innumerable opportunities thrown up by the trade show for economic progress and prosperity.

The large numbers of exhibitors showcase diverse categories of industrial products, come from many states of India and include a large number of foreign companies. The visitors come from diverse end user industries and geographies and include industry stalwarts, government officials and dignitaries.

ENGIMACH has often been officially designated as a PRE-VIBRANT EVENT held in the run up to the flagship event of the Government of Gujarat – the VIBRANT GUJARAT GLOBAL INVESTORS SUMMIT. ENGIMACH has also often been inaugurated by the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Gujarat. The lamp lighting ceremony is graced with the presence of many industry stalwarts.

The 17th edition of ENGIMACH is scheduled to be held from 3rd to 7th December 2025 at the Helipad Exhibition Centre in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India.

After the successful start of ENGIMACH and the remarkable progress it resulted in for the local engineering industries in the Gujarat state, it was soon realized that in fact, the Gujarat model needs to be implemented in a pan-Indian exhibition in the national capital of New Delhi and thus INDIA MACHINE TOOLS SHOW was born.

The INDIA MACHINE TOOL SHOW is also a biennial trade show held regularly since inception at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi and is aimed to provide the most reliable update on the latest developments in the engineering machineries and technologies used in manufacturing.

While manufacturing in India was not as upbeat then as it is today, over the years INDIA MACHINE TOOLS SHOW gained considerable traction nevertheless. Over 9 editions in 12 years, the trade show has featured 2000+ exhibitors from 15+ countries and attracted 300,000+ visitors from the country and abroad.

In the present dynamic Indian scenario of relentless upgrade of tools & technologies of production, both the machine tools industry itself as well as the end user manufacturing industries need to keep a constant vigil to keep abreast of the latest developments and in this context the INDIA MACHINE TOOLS SHOW aims to provide a reliable update.

The 10th edition of INDIA MACHINE TOOLS SHOW is going to be held at the brand new venue – the Yashobhoomi Convention Centre, Dwarka, New Delhi. The venue is being developed by the government of India as a special project and is symbolic of the aspirations and remarkable global economic ascendancy of India.

Pune is one of the pivotal manufacturing hubs in India and its Automobile sector in particular. As such it is famous as one of the early adopters of cutting-edge Manufacturing Technology & Practices.

The Automotive Industry is the chief driver of the Indian machine tools industry and spearheading the Indian manufacturing. It is aiming to be an INR 15 trillion industry by end of 2024. The Indian automotive market will be the world’s third-largest automobile market by 2026. The EV segment of the Automotive industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of 49% from 2022-2030. The EV financing market is estimated to reach $50 billion by 2030. 5 million direct and indirect jobs (approx.) are estimated to be created in the EV sector by 2030. The Indian automotive major Bajaj Auto has announced an investment of INR 500 crore in its EV segment in FY 2024.
