\nGuest of Honour, Mr. Goel stressed on local manufacturing. He said India\u2019s growing manufacturing ecosystem offers significant opportunities for the machine tool industry. India will be one of the key focuses for the growth which is expected year after year. Highlighting the need for greater domestic capability, Goel added, one cannot depend on huge imports of machine tools and urged the industry to build a stronger manufacturing base within India. He called upon the machine tool industry to be at-least third largest manufacturer in the world.
\nSpeaking about IMTMA\u2019s decision to organise the expo at Pune, Ms. Kelkar said, \u201cMaharashtra has one of India\u2019s strongest machine tool ecosystems with important industrial clusters located in Pune, Mumbai, Aurangabad, Nasik and Kolhapur. Pune being one of the strong base for automotive and engineering companies, it demands a huge amount of high precision manufacturing technologies which are catered by the machine tool industry. IMTMA has a strong presence in Maharashtra with around 180 members and for last two decades, the Association has been extending support to industries through various initiatives.\u201d
\nAdding to Ms. Kelkar\u2019s views, Mr. Jibak Dasgupta, Director General & CEO – IMTMA said, \u201cPune being a stronghold for various manufacturing industries, IMTMA is organising PMTX and FACTEQ to reach out to the manufacturing community in the region.
