EEPC India has
been the Face of Indian Engineering exports over a span of 70 years when India grew from a meagre $10 million engineering export nation in
1950s to USD 116.67
Billion (Apr 2024-March 2025) and is regarded as the model
EPC in India by the Union Ministry of Commerce and Industry. EEPC India
is the premier trade and investment promotion organisation in India. It is
sponsored by the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India and
caters to the Indian engineering sector. It has many firsts to its
credit. The First Indian EPC to have a website, to be ISO certified and
also to e-catalogue the product profiles.
As an advisory body it
actively contributes in the policies of Government of India and acts as the
prime conduit between the Indian Engineering fraternity and the
Government.
Set up in
1955, EEPC India now has a membership base of around 9500 predominantly
drawing 60% from MSME segment. EEPC India has been participating
and organising promotional activities including Buyer-seller meets (BSM) &
Reverse BSMs and managing India Pavilions in various overseas exhibitions to
demonstrate the capabilities of Indian engineering industry. INDEE (Indian
Engineering Exhibition) and its domestic counterpart – IESS (International
Engineering Sourcing Show) are two flagship events
of EEPC India.
EEPC India
facilitates sourcing from India and encourages MSMEs to raise their standard at
par with international best practices. It also encourages MSMEs to integrate
their business with the global value chain.

International Engineering
Sourcing Show (IESS) is the largest display in the country of engineering products and
services, every year. This is recognised as the only engineering sourcing event
in India – showcasing the latest technologies and a preferred meeting place for
global buyers and sellers. This show is also important to encourage foreign
investments in line with the newly-initiated Make in India campaign by the
Government of India. So far 12
editions have been held, with 6 Partner Countries, more than 10 State presence,

Indian Engineering Exhibition
(INDEE) is EEPC India’s own brand and is one of the largest
expositions of engineering in the world. Over
a period of 46 years INDEE has been established as the largest and most
important showcase for Indian engineering abroad with a history of over 4000
exhibitors, displaying on an average 100 Indian Engineering products across 29
nations in 6 continents since 1977.
What we do to promote the
exports of engineering goods
• Keep in constant
communication with Chambers of Commerce and other mercantile and public bodies
throughout the world with a view to taking appropriate and necessary measures
for maintaining or increasing the exports of engineering goods;
• Advise/represent to the
government, local authorities, and public bodies on policies and other measures;
• Support upgradation of
technology to boost India’s engineering exports and establish synergy between
industry and academia;
• Prepare, edit, print,
publish, issue, acquire, and circulate books, papers, periodicals, gazettes,
circulars, and other literature treating or bearing upon industry, trade or
commerce, pertaining to engineering goods.
