The India Branch was founded in order to provide a local support system for the rapidly growing Indian membership of the Institution.
The Branch was created in 2008 in response to the substantial number of engineers in India who have professional registrations and the commitment of the local engineering community to advancing their standing within the Indian Institution. Professor Bill Banks, the former president of the institution, officially opened the branch. The "Institution of Mechanical Engineers-India Branch" became a registered society on January 17, 2017.
