The India Manufacturing Excellence Awards (IMEA) is the country’s earliest and most respected assessment-based manufacturing program, built on a proprietary framework refined across 2,000+ manufacturing sites. As manufacturing evolves toward Industry 5.0, the IMEA 2026 assessment evaluates organizations on Manufacturing Capability, Extended Supply Chain Reliability, and Technology Adoption, enabling benchmarking and continuous operational excellence.

Complementing this, Frost & Sullivan’s 17th Edition of Sustainability 4.0 Awards recognizes organizations that embed sustainability into strategy, governance, and financial performance. In a complex ESG landscape, the program helps businesses identify risks, unlock opportunities, benchmark sustainability performance, and create long-term value for all stakeholders.
