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.
