The second edition of SUBCONTRACT INDIA 2025, organized by the Engineering Export Promotion Council of India (EEPC India) under the aegis of Department of Commerce, Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India, concluded successfully at the Auto Cluster Exhibition Centre in Pune.

Positioned as a premier global engineering and MSME sourcing event, the 3-day exhibition successfully brought together over 100 Indian engineering exhibitors, more than 5,000 visitors, and numerous international delegates. The primary objective of the event was to foster B2B collaboration, promote technology transfer, and solidify India's role as a dominant global manufacturing and sourcing hub, particularly for the MSME sector.

SUBCONTRACT INDIA was inaugurated by Shri B N Vishwas, Joint DGFT, Pune and Smt Chitra Raste, Regional Head, EXIM Bank.

Engineering is among India's biggest industrial sectors adding meaningfully to the country's employment and GDP and EEPC India's effort to place domestic and overseas stakeholders on a single platform will surely assist in making these connections deeper.

Shri Deependra Singh Kushwah IAS, Development Commissioner of Industries, Government of Maharashtra

EEPC India has done a commendable job in taking the Indian Engineering sector to the World Stage and such endeavours would pave a long way in taking the nation forward.

Shri Vishwas

MSMEs would get a window for enhanced market visibility and access to international market partaking at such domestic event.

We reaffirm our shared commitment to strengthening India's global presence in subcontracting and engineering services, promoting innovation, sustainability, and inclusive growth. This event serves as a powerful platform for OEMs, MSMEs, exporters, and global buyers to connect and collaborate

Mr Anoop Marwaha (Regional Chairman,(Western Region), EEPC India)

In FY 2023- 24, Pune's total exports amounted to INR 109148Cr which is around 20% of Maharashtra's total exports during that period. Also, Pune district secured the highest amount of investment with INR 16651.48Cr - these factors have made Pune a very strategic location for conducting the Sub-contracting Show

Subcontracting is an important area of engineering industry providing significant operational and strategic advantages to engineering manufacturers including improvement in efficiency and quality. Such shows add to the business credibility of a firm enabling industry validation and future business expansion
