With India focusing on innovation and Indian products through initiatives like Make in India coupled with growth in manufacturing that are eventually boosting newer and unique Indian ventures. The reduction in Corporate tax to 25 % for turnover up to 250 Crores, would also benefit some of the major machine tool manufacturers in the country and contribute towards its growth.”

India is poised to grow from currently being 12th in production and 8th in consumption (Gardner Survey 2017) and for this the industry need to develop capabilities to cater to this demand and investments for long term benefits in the economy. The exhibition will be high on innovative technology as we are expecting over 450 exhibitors including 150 international companies and 120+ first time participants.”
