The India Branch was established to develop a local support network for the rapidly-increasing number of Institution members in India.
Launched in 2008, the Branch was a reaction to the large established number of professionally registered engineers in India and the dedication of the local engineering community to continuing to develop their status within the Institution in India. The Branch was officially opened by Institution past President, Professor Bill Banks. On 17 January 2017, ‘Institution of Mechanical Engineers-India Branch’ is registered as a Society.
