The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) is a leading Indian business association and industry-institution platform headquartered in New Delhi. Established in 1895 as the Engineering and Iron Trades Association, it has evolved into a broad-based organization representing enterprises across sectors and supporting policy dialogue, competitiveness, innovation, sustainability, skills, and economic development.
CII works with businesses, governments, institutions, and international partners, combining advocacy with practical programs, conferences, delegations, training, consulting, and trade fairs. Its portfolio spans manufacturing, infrastructure, transport, technology, energy, healthcare, mining, agriculture, services, and emerging industries.
CII’s exhibitions function as B2B marketplaces that connect suppliers, buyers, public-sector stakeholders, investors, technology providers, and international delegations. The organization describes itself as India’s largest trade-fair organizer and maintains a substantial calendar of exhibitions and related business events.
Its flagship portfolio includes sector-focused shows such as InnoRail India, International Mining and Machinery Exhibition, India Engineering Sourcing Show, Bengaluru Space Expo, and CII Hospital Tech. CII’s national structure includes regional offices and networks across India, while its international engagement extends through business delegations, country partnerships, and overseas relationships.
For exhibitors, its value proposition is access to an established industry network, government and institutional stakeholders, curated sector communities, conference programming, and opportunities for sourcing and market development. For visitors, CII events offer product discovery, technical and policy content, business matchmaking, and access to decision-makers.
CII’s official trade-fair listings provide event dates, venues, and organizer contacts, including dedicated contacts for InnoRail India 2026.
