Relevance to India’s Manufacturing Sector
The machine tool industry in India is on a strong growth trajectory, with the market expected to reach USD 1.7 billion in 2024, and a growth forecast at a CAGR of 7.8 percent from 2025 to 2033. Another estimate forecasts the market may grow to USD 3.08 billion from 2024 to 2029 at a CAGR of 11.6 percent.
This growth can be attributed to a rising demand for automation, precision machinery, and advanced manufacturing solutions, especially in the automotive, aerospace, and engineering sectors.
DMTX 2025 is aligned with the promotion of advanced technology adoption in North India. The event is poised to attract important industrial hubs such as Delhi NCR, Punjab, Rajasthan, Ludhiana, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand. It also aims to reach Tier II and Tier III cities like Jagadhri, Sangrur, and Rudrapur. By doing so, it will bring high-tech, high-value products to regions where OEMs and component manufacturers need them, thereby fostering innovation and competitiveness.
Government initiatives such as Make in India and GST have made India an attractive destination for foreign direct investment, while the manufacturing sector is poised to touch USD 1 trillion by 2025. DMTX 2025 supports this goal by providing a platform where industry players, MSMEs, and startups can network, enter new markets, and adopt the latest technologies.
