India’s stainless steel industry will witness a landmark milestone as the Stainless Steel ProMach Expo debuts from 16-18 September 2027 at the Bombay Exhibition Centre (BEC), Mumbai. The event will be co-located with the Global Stainless Steel Expo (GSSE), creating a dual powerhouse platform for stainless steel innovations, plant machinery, and process engineering. This first-of-its-kind showcase will spotlight new stainless steel technologies, plant machinery, automation solutions, and process innovations for a wide range of industries.

Key highlights

• This is the only dedicated stainless steel engineering platform in India, focused exclusively on process industries.
• The event will have on display plant systems, engineering solutions, and high-performance machinery, all under one roof.
• There will be participation from manufacturers, EPC contractors, system integrators, fabricators, end-users, and technology providers who depend on stainless steel for its unmatched hygiene, durability, and corrosion resistance.
•  Momentum fuelled by Make in India, PLI schemes, and rising capital expenditure across key industries.

As India positions itself as a global manufacturing hub, this high-impact B2B expo comes at the perfect time to fuel growth, sourcing, and collaboration.

Why exhibit?

Here is an opportunity for exhibitors to showcase a full spectrum of stainless steel-based technologies, including:

• Plant and Process Equipment: Reactors, tanks, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, separation units, and bio-processing systems.
• Fabrication and Systems: Modular plants, skid-mounted units, turnkey projects, and custom stainless steel fabrication.
• Flow Control and Handling: Pumps, valves, flow meters, piping systems, conveyors, feeders, silos, and storage tanks.
• Automation and Controls: PLC/SCADA/DCS systems, stainless steel enclosures, control panels, sensors, and advanced instrumentation.
• Maintenance and Surface Treatment: Welding equipment, passivation, pickling, surface finishing, coatings, and laser-based technologies.
• Testing and Certification: NDT equipment, inspection labs, and compliance certifications.
• Design and Engineering: Process optimisation, 3D modelling, structural design, and stainless steel-focused engineering services.

Capacity expansion, stricter sustainability mandates, and rapid modernisation are driving the stainless steel-based plant machinery market to grow over 8 per cent CAGR. Industries like pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, water treatment, and chemicals increasingly demand high-performance stainless steel systems to meet global benchmarks.

What’s in it for visitors?

The Stainless Steel ProMach Expo offers a one-stop sourcing and learning platform for stakeholders across process industries:

• Industry Decision-makers: CEOs, procurement heads, sourcing managers, and project consultants.
• Process Specialists: R&D professionals, automation engineers, EPC contractors, plant design experts, and control system integrators.
• End-use Industries: pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, dairy, breweries, water treatment, chemicals, petrochemicals, oil and gas, energy, textiles, and cosmetics.
• Technical Experts: Welding, fabrication, maintenance, inspection, testing, and certification professionals.
• Institutional Stakeholders: Central and state water boards, smart city planners, SEZ developers, and sustainability consultants.
• Academia and Training Institutes: fostering industry-academia collaboration in stainless steel engineering.

International delegations from Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa will also attend, representing buyers, trade councils, and industry associations, further boosting global business linkages.

Industry impact

This debut event arrives at a critical juncture when India ranks among the top five global producers in process-heavy industries. Demand for stainless steel-based equipment is rising as companies target efficiency, hygiene, and durability while meeting sustainability goals.

The Stainless Steel ProMach Expo will bring together innovation in equipment design, fabrication, automation, and turnkey solutions. It aims to fill a long-standing gap while establishing India as a serious contender in stainless steel-led process manufacturing. From process innovation to plant reliability and global competitiveness, this expo will set a new benchmark for stainless steel excellence in India and beyond.
