To enable such growth requires a strong and consistent support from the machine tool manufacturers. Regional shows like Delhi Machine Tool Expo will help auto component manufacturers to achieve new heights."
Elaborating on the importance of the show from a regional perspective, Mr. L. Krishnan, President of IMTMA expressed that "North India has major engineering and machine tool hubs in India.

Speaking on this occasion V. Anbu, Director General, IMTMA said that "The success of first edition of Delhi Machine Tool Expo has opened avenues for penetrating into the regional markets, to enhance the manufacturing capabilities of various industry sectors and we see a huge potential for this show to grow in the future editions."
