Concept

The Agri Machinery Innovations Awards & Conclave 2025 is a prestigious national platform dedicated to celebrating excellence and catalyzing innovation in the agricultural machinery sector. Co-organized by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) and the Indian Society of Agricultural Engineers (ISAE), and supported by the Tractor Manufacturers Association (TMA) and Power Tillers Association of India (PTAI), this event will recognize cutting-edge technologies—from smart tractors and agri drones to grassroots jugad innovations—that are revolutionizing Indian agriculture.

The conclave will bring together industry leaders, policymakers, technologists, and farmers to explore the future of mechanized farming and accelerate the adoption of sustainable, inclusive, and tech-driven agri-solutions across India.
