03 August, 2026: The 9th edition of the Hyderabad International Machine Tool
& Engineering Expo (HIMTEX 2026) will be held from 20–24 August 2026
at HITEX Exhibition Centre, Hyderabad. Building on the success of eight
editions, HIMTEX 2026 will be its largest-ever edition, spread across 18,500
sqm, reaffirming its position as one of the India’s biggest machine tool
and engineering expo.
The
five-day exhibition will feature 350+ exhibitors, 1,000+ live machines, and
is expected to attract 20,000+ industrial visitors from across India. The
event will showcase cutting-edge solutions in machine tools, metalworking,
automation, robotics, tooling, digital manufacturing, and industrial
engineering, creating a comprehensive sourcing and networking platform for the
manufacturing industry.
A
major highlight of this year's edition is DiFact – the Digital Factory &
Connected Technologies Pavilion, designed to demonstrate Industry 4.0
technologies in a live manufacturing environment. At its core is the Digital
Factory Experience Zone (DFEZ), developed in association with the Automation
Industry Association (AIA), the Knowledge Partner for the pavilion.
DFEZ
will present an integrated smart factory workflow featuring turning and milling
operations, CMM inspection, AMR-based material movement, cobot-assisted
handling, real-time machine monitoring, predictive maintenance, OEE dashboards,
and production analytics. The initiative aims to help Indian
manufacturers—particularly MSMEs—understand the practical implementation and
business value of connected manufacturing technologies.
Mr.
Kuna Shankar, Director, HITEX, said, "HIMTEX has grown
consistently over the years, and the 2026 edition marks a significant milestone
in both scale and industry participation. With over 350 exhibitors and more
than 1,000 live machines, the event will provide manufacturers with an
unmatched opportunity to discover new technologies, build partnerships, and
stay ahead of industry trends."
Mr.
Vinoth Sasidharan, Project Head, HIMTEX, added, "Our focus this year goes
beyond expanding the exhibition. Through DiFact and the Digital Factory
Experience Zone, visitors will experience connected manufacturing in action,
enabling them to see how Industry 4.0 can be implemented on the shop floor to
improve productivity, quality, and operational efficiency."
