“It is highly encouraging that nearly 80 percent of the exhibition space is already taken up. This overwhelming response for ACMEE 2023 from the machine tools fraternity reflects the industry players’ eagerness to be part of the coveted show,” shares Mr. K Sai Sathya Kumar, Chairman, ACMEE 2023, and Managing Partner, Adithya Engineering.
The Indian machine tool industry is poised to develop significantly, reaching over ₹10,000 crore in 2022-23. The sector has shown extraordinary growth in recent years, due to increased investments in infrastructure and industrial output, as well as government initiatives to support the industry,” he shares.

The manufacturing sector is poised to grow in India, thanks to various Government schemes such as the PLI, focused efforts on the sunshine sectors, the stress on the ‘Make in India’ program to put India on the global map for manufacturing, and the China + 1 strategy adopted by many MNCs, leading to fresh investments by the OEMs. India has an opportunity to grow and be the next manufacturing hub and supplier of choice not only for the domestic market but also for the global markets.

Lakshmi Machine Works Ltd, Machine Tool Division, has been a regular participant in ACMEE. “We have been participating in ACMEE for over a decade now. This has been the best and ideal platform to connect with the customers in Chennai and adjoining areas,” shares Mr. K Sreeramachandra Murthy, President - Operations, Lakshmi Machine Works Ltd, Machine Tool Division.
In the 2023 edition of the show, he plans to meet the expectations of the growing auto sector with the company’s machining solutions, highlighting productivity, accuracy, and high ROI, which are its USPs.

Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI), a primary financial institution for the promotion, financing, and development of the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise (MSME) sector and an ACMEE 2023 Platinum Sponsor, views the exhibition as an opportunity to reach out to a larger number of MSMEs and update them with its numerous Schemes of Assistance, as well as other benefits offered by other stakeholders in the MSME ecosystem.
