ICCI Welcomes SICCI Delegation for a Day of Industrial Visits and India–Italy Business Dialogue
Representatives of Southern India’s automotive and mechanical sectors explored Italian industrial expertise, experienced Made in Italy hospitality and met institutional and business leaders.
On 14 September 2026, the Indian Chamber of Commerce in Italy (ICCI) accompanied a delegation from The Southern India Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SICCI) on a programme dedicated to industrial excellence and opportunities for cooperation between India and Italy.
Representing the automotive and mechanical sectors, the delegation began the day with visits to the Dallara Academy and Dallara Factory. The programme offered participants an insight into Italian automotive engineering and manufacturing expertise, providing a practical setting for exploring shared industrial interests.
The delegation then continued to Fidenza Village, which sponsored the day and welcomed participants for an experience bringing together Italian hospitality, fashion and culinary traditions. The visit complemented the industrial programme with a broader introduction to Made in Italy and the country’s distinctive lifestyle offering.
The day concluded at the Consulate General of India in Milan with an institutional and business meeting attended by H.E. Ms. Vani Rao, Ambassador of India to Italy, and Shri Lavanya Kumar, Consul General of India in Milan. Representatives of SICCI, ICCI, the Indian Business Forum of Italy (IBF), PRAXI and Kothari Industrial Corporation Limited (KICL) also participated.
Presentations and discussions provided an opportunity to exchange perspectives, share business experience and explore potential areas of cooperation between the Indian and Italian business communities. The meeting brought an institutional dimension to a programme centred on building relationships and developing a deeper understanding of each other’s markets.
ICCI extends its sincere appreciation to PRAXI Alliance and Sai Subramanian, International Operations, India Desk, for connecting the Chamber with SICCI and helping establish the foundations for this exchange. Special thanks also go to Fidenza Village for its sponsorship and hospitality, and to all speakers, partners and participants for their contributions.
The initiative reflects ICCI’s commitment to facilitating direct exchanges between Indian and Italian companies and strengthening the business and institutional relationships that support bilateral cooperation.
