IMME Kolkata

The "International Mining & Machinery Exhibition" (IMME), first held in 1984, has established itself as India's leading trade fair for mining and mining machinery. It takes place biennially, organized by the Confederation of Indian Industry at the Science City Exhibition Ground in Kolkata. The centrally located venue is easily accessible and provides an ideal platform for professionals and exhibitors..

IMME attracts experts and companies from the global mining industry. It showcases advanced technologies, equipment, and services tailored to mining. The range includes everything from excavation and loading equipment to state-of-the-art exploration instruments, offering a comprehensive overview of the latest innovations and solutions in the sector. Additionally, areas such as mineral processing, environmental protection, and safety technologies are emphasized.

A highlight of the fair is the Global Mining Summit, a conference that brings together leading experts from various countries, including Australia, Canada, and Germany. Here, the latest trends are discussed, and forward-looking partnerships are forged. More than 400 exhibitors and over 10,000 business visitors take this opportunity for networking, technology transfer, and the development of business-to-business alliances.

IMME not only reflects the dynamism of the Indian mining sector but also illustrates the economic development of Kolkata and India. It plays a central role in promoting trade and industry in the region and supports India's ambitions to take a leading role on the global market.

In summary, IMME provides an essential platform for the exchange of expertise and the presentation of industry innovations, significantly fostering innovation and development in mining. The Science City Exhibition Ground in Kolkata, as the venue, underscores the importance of the fair as a central event for professionals and industry representatives worldwide. Its accessibility makes it an ideal meeting point for both international and local participants.

The IMME takes place biennially, and therefore for the 16th time previsibly in October 2026 in Kolkata.
