Each exhibitor delivered insightful presentations showcasing solutions pertinent to the Navy's needs, in the esteemed presence of high-ranking dignitaries.

In the aftermath of these deliberations, the Indian Navy is poised to engage with the exhibiting companies to evaluate and adopt the most viable solutions that align with their strategic objectives and operational requirements.

Set to take place as a satellite show of LogiMAT Stuttgart, LogiMAT India?25 is scheduled from 13th ? 15th February 2025 at the esteemed Bombay Exhibition Center (BEC), Mumbai covering an expansive area of 14,000 square meters.
