INMEX SMM India Mumbai

10. - 12. September 2025 | International trade fair for shipbuilding, machinery and marine technology

The INMEX SMM India is an international trade fair dedicated to the maritime industry in India, held in the vibrant city of Mumbai. The name of the fair consists of two primary components: "INMEX", an acronym for International Maritime Exhibition, and "SMM", which stands for Shipbuilding, Machinery, and Marine Technology. This reflects the deep connection of these industry sectors to India and their strategic importance to the country's maritime economy. Originating as an offshoot of the SMM in Hamburg, this fair has become one of the most pivotal gatherings for the maritime sector in India and neighboring Asian countries..

India imports a significant portion of its energy needs via the sea, particularly oil and coal. A robust maritime industry ensures the country's energy supply. Given India's geostrategic position in the Indian Ocean and potential maritime threats, building a strong navy and coast guard is of utmost importance. In this context, shipbuilding, especially warship construction, and marine technology play key roles. For India, shipbuilding and marine technology are not just economic imperatives but also strategic ones. Progress and investments in these areas reflect India's ambitions to become a leading maritime nation and to secure and promote its interests in the world's oceans.

The INMEX SMM India is organized by two prestigious organizations: Informa Markets in India and the Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH. This highlights its international significance and professionalism. The fair takes place biennially in October, a period that the maritime industry intensively uses to discuss, share and explore trends, products, and innovations.

As the flagship event in its sector, the INMEX SMM India provides a platform where the latest products, technologies, and services related to shipbuilding, machinery, and marine technology are showcased. It attracts a wide range of exhibitors from various sectors, particularly from the shipbuilding and shipyard industry. These exhibitors have the opportunity to present their latest achievements to an international audience of professionals from the maritime and related industries.

However, the fair isn't just an exhibition. It's also a hub for intensive knowledge exchange. With an extensive program comprising conferences, symposiums, and workshops, the fair addresses global issues and allows participants to thoroughly inform themselves and connect with others.

Lastly, the fair is located at the renowned Bombay Exhibition Centre (BEC) NESCO, one of the leading expo centers in India. This venue, centrally located in Mumbai, is easily accessible and offers state-of-the-art facilities to accommodate visitors and ensure a successful fair experience. In essence, the INMEX SMM India offers the perfect setting for the maritime industry to exchange knowledge, promote business, and actively shape the future of the sector.
