ASME to host IMECE in India for the first time to welcome Global Engineering Leaders at IMECE India 2025

20th August, National : The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), a leading international organization driving collaboration and knowledge-sharing across engineering disciplines, is set to host its flagship event, the International Mechanical Engineering Congress & Exposition (IMECE), in India for the very first time. The event will take place at the Hyderabad International Convention Centre (HICC) from 10th to 13th September 2025, marking a historic milestone in the Congress’ legacy of innovation, research, and global engagement.

Traditionally held in the United States, IMECE brings together thought leaders, researchers, industry professionals, policy makers, and students from across the globe to explore breakthroughs in science, technology, and innovation. Featuring over 650 research papers & Technical presentations, 1500 delegates, and 100 exhibitors, the first ever IMECE India 2025 edition will serve as a catalyst for advancing engineering knowledge, strengthening academia–industry collaboration, and accelerating innovative solutions to address global challenges.

The theme of IMECE India 2025 is sustainability, innovation and inclusivity. This theme reflects the broad range of topics, from cutting edge technologies and manufacturing processes to the integration of AI and robotics in mechanical systems, and from sustainable design practices to the role of mechanical engineering in addressing global societal challenges.

The three-day conference will present an expansive program across diverse technical tracks including Additive Manufacturing & 3D Printing, Advanced Materials & Manufacturing Technologies, Advances in Thermal Technologies, Semi-Conductor Manufacturing, Clean Energy Technologies & Systems, Cyber Physical Systems with AI/ML, Gas Turbines, Pressure Technologies, Robotics & Automation, Structural Dynamics & Materials, and Offshore & Onshore Pipeline Transmission & Distribution Systems. These sessions will spotlight the latest breakthroughs that are shaping the future of mechanical engineering across industries.

 Speaking on the launch of IMECE India edition, Mr. Madhukar Sharma, Director, ASME India Pvt. Ltd. stated “The launch of IMECE in India is a moment of great pride for ASME India and for the engineering community in India. Hosting this prestigious global congress in India for the first time demonstrates the growing importance of India as a hub for sustainable innovation and technological leadership. With the theme of Sustainability, Innovation and Inclusivity, IMECE India 2025 will not only showcase groundbreaking research but also encourage meaningful collaboration between academia, industry, and government stakeholders. Together, we aim to shape solutions that will define the future of engineering and its role in addressing global challenges.”

Dr. K. Subramanian, Congress Chair, ASME IMECE India 2025     & Senior Vice President, Ashok Leyland stated “As Congress Chair of ASME IMECE India 2025, I welcome everyone to this historic event, marking IMECE’s first edition in India. This conference will bring together global experts to explore advancements in Sustainability, Innovation, and Inclusivity, addressing key challenges in technology, AI, sustainable design, and the role of mechanical engineering in solving global issues.”

IMECE India 2025 will feature an eminent lineup of keynote speakers including Dr. Babasaheb N. Kalyani, Chairman & Managing Director, Bharat Forge Group, Dr. N Kalaiselvi, Director General, CSIR & Secretary DSIR; Hon. Mr. Srinivas Kondapalli, Minister Govt of A.P.-MSME, Mr. Pawan K. Chandana, Founder & CEO Sky Roots Aerospace; Dr. Lester K. Su, President, ASME (2025–26) USA ; Dr Yogi Goswami Distinguished Professor & Director, Centre for Clean Energy, Univ. of South Florida; Mr. Thomas Costabile, CEO and Executive Director, ASME USA ; Mr. Ravinder Singh, CEO RIL – Renewables; Mr. Anil V. Parab, Sr Vice President & Wholetime Director , L&T; Dr. Jocelyn Gaudin, Vice President & Head of Engineering, Airbus India.

Together, these leaders will share their perspectives on evolving role of engineers in advancing research and practice to address global challenges on Climate, Energy, Mobility, Workforce & Sustainable development”.

The conference program features an exceptional array of technical sessions, symposia, workshops, and panel discussions, all designed to address the most pressing challenges and opportunities in mechanical engineering. This broad forum with salient perspectives and knowledge-sharing on technical advances within mechanical engineering, is specially curated by the engineering community leaders.
