Forging an Atmanirbhar Future

India is undergoing a historic industrial transformation. Under the mandate of Atmanirbhar Bharat, the nation is rapidly expanding its indigenous defence manufacturing capabilities. At the heart of this revolution is Uttar Pradesh, driven by the monumental UP Defence Industrial Corridor (UPDIC). However, true strategic autonomy relies on the grassroots. IMS 2026 is the definitive platform designed to bridge the gap between Tier-1 OEMs, Defence Public Sector Undertakings (DPSUs), and the agile MSME ecosystem.

A Strategic Pivot in Industrial Events

Hosted at the premium Indira Gandhi Pratishthan (IGP), IMS 2026 breaks away from the traditional, massive display-heavy trade fair. We utilize a highly targeted 30:70 Convention Format focused heavily on tangible business outcomes over mere footfall.
  • 30% PREMIUM EXHIBITION: Strictly capped at 150-180 exhibitors. Modular, premium showcases focused on capabilities, deep-tech, and OEM integration.
  • 70% KNOWLEDGE & MATCHMAKING: Intensive policy dialogues across 4 conference tracks, CEO Roundtables, and pre-scheduled 1-on-1 procurement meetings powered by our AI matchmaking engine.

Bringing India's Legacy Brand to the UP Defence Corridor

With seven highly successful editions under its belt, the India Manufacturing Show (IMS) is the nation’s most trusted manufacturing platform. While our massive biennial flagship remains in Bangalore, we are proudly bringing this legacy brand to Lucknow for a highly targeted, special intervention: The Uttar Pradesh Defence Corridor Edition.

The Challenge: Bridging the gap between Tier-1 OEMs, Defence Public Sector Undertakings (DPSUs), and the grassroots MSME ecosystem.

The Solution: IMS 2026. A high-yield procurement ecosystem designed to integrate MSMEs into the global defence supply chain.
