Three days of intense commercial interaction, industry discussion, and technology exploration successfully conclude at electronica India and productronica India 2025, which took place at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC). With more than 6000+ global brands from more than 50 countries and 50,194 trade professionals in attendance, the trade shows strengthened India’s growing position in the world’s electronics manufacturing industry.
These co-located trade shows, which are organized by Messe Muenchen India during electronica India and productronica India 2025, remain a vital hub for the whole electronics manufacturing value chain, including design, components, assembly, automation, embedded systems, and quality control.
While established global entities leveraged the platform to consolidate their regional footprint, Indian manufacturers, Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) providers, and material suppliers actively showcased advanced capabilities, often with a view toward securing international export partnerships.
Smt. Gunjan Krishna, IAS, Commissioner, Industries and Commerce Department, Government of Karnataka, Dr. Darez Ahamed, IAS-Managing Director, Guidance Tamil Nadu, and senior leadership from Karnataka, including Shri. Rahul Sharanappa Sankanur, IAS, Managing Director, Managing Director Karnataka Innovation and Technology Society (KITS), confirmed continued state-level commitments to developing electronics manufacturing hubs.
At the same time, there were significant international pavilions from Japan, Taiwan, and Germany, which further cemented the show’s standing as a vital entry point for international enterprises looking to interact with India’s vibrant ecosystem.
More than 2,000 structured meetings were recorded by the facilitated Buyer-Seller Forum, demonstrating its high effectiveness. Purchasing teams from important industries including consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial automation—including well-known firms like Samsung, Spark Minda, and Jio platforms—interacted directly with suppliers of parts and software.
The main topics of discussion were lead time optimization, local inventory establishment, cost engineering tactics, and supplier development—all of which are essential components of a resilient global supply chain.
Additionally, the platform extended its reach beyond the immediate industry community by appointing Rohit Sharma as the face of Electronica India and Productronica India 2025. His affiliation highlighted the growing societal significance of electronics manufacturing in India and helped spread the event’s main message to a larger and more tech-savvy audience.
Beyond the exhibition floor, this edition of electronica India and productronica India 2025 integrated a robust schedule of supporting programs designed to foster deeper technical and strategic discussions. These included the India Semiconductor Conclave, focusing on policy and design ecosystems, and the CEO Forum, addressing procurement and MSME component strategies.
A strong highlight this year was the eFuture Conference, which brought together experts to discuss emerging technologies and future roadmaps for the electronics industry.
Additional sessions like the eMobility Conference, the Innovation Forum, and a Live Podcast Zone further enhanced the event’s value proposition by providing diverse perspectives and real-time insights from technologists and decision-makers.
Leadership Comments
Industry leaders underscored the event’s significance. Rajoo Goel, Secretary General of ELCINA, remarked, “This edition reflects the growing depth of the Indian electronics industry. India’s electronics sector is no longer merely an assembly hub but a burgeoning ecosystem demonstrating sophisticated capabilities across the value chain. The “substantive and targeted” nature of the discussions indicates a higher level of technical readiness and business acumen among domestic participants, making them increasingly attractive partners for international collaborations that seek specialized expertise beyond basic manufacturing.”
Dr. Reinhard Pfeiffer, CEO of Messe München GmbH, offered a global perspective: “India is no longer an emerging destination—it is becoming a critical node in the global electronics supply chain. India now plays an indispensable role not just in production volumes but also in strategic design, supply chain resilience, and technological innovation. Both of these trade fairs provide a tangible showcase, allowing international stakeholders to directly gauge India’s advancements, fostering confidence and catalysing direct foreign investment and partnerships”
Bhupinder Singh, President IMEA, Messe München and CEO, Messe Muenchen India, concluded, “The 2025 edition of electronica India and productronica India has cemented the industry’s trust in these platforms and their intent to catalyse the next phase of electronics manufacturing in India. The “trust” placed in the platform reflects its proven ability to consistently deliver valuable cross-border interactions, solidifying its role as a premier facilitator for the next, more advanced phase of electronics manufacturing in India, characterized by deeper international integration and technological collaboration.”
Buyer Testimonials
Mr. Gurdeep Singh, General Manager – Strategic Sourcing Group, Samsung India Electronics Pvt Ltd – “This exhibition brilliantly showcased the immense potential for localized electronics component sourcing in India. We were particularly impressed with the focus on nurturing growing Indian manufacturing capabilities and the opportunity to identify several promising new sourcing partners. A truly invaluable experience for anyone in the industry!”
Mr. Sushil Kumar, General Manager – Procurement and Sourcing, Jio Platform Limited. – “What stood out was the access to both established names and emerging startups under one roof. This juxtaposition is invaluable—we were able to benchmark mature solutions against emerging supply chain scenarios and witness India emerging as a key global manufacturing destination.”
Mr. Prakash Palanisamy, DGM – Group Corporate Electronics Sourcing, Spark Minda Group – “We attend shows globally, but the scale and focus here in Bengaluru this year were truly impressive. The international pavilions provided direct access to component suppliers we would typically need to visit multiple regional shows to engage with.”
Starting 2026, electronica India and productronica India will transition to a bi-annual format taking place both in Greater Noida (April) and Bengaluru (September). This strategic shift aims to provide more frequent market access points and better align with evolving regional business cycles, reflecting the accelerated pace of India’s electronics sector.
Exhibitor Testimonials
Exhibitors consistently reported high-quality interactions. Sanjay Kumar, Managing Director from Kyocera Asia Pacific India Pvt. Ltd an electronica India exhibitor, said, “The scale and focus here in Bengaluru this year was truly impressive.
