The East Tech Symposium 2025, jointly organised by HQ Eastern Command (Indian Army), Society of Indian Defence Manufacturers (SIDM), and the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), is scheduled from 17th - 19th September 2025 at Tana Bhagat Indoor Stadium, Ranchi, Jharkhand.

Their operations demand specialized equipment—both conventional and modern—with requirements that constantly evolve to meet operational challenges.

Senior officers from the Eastern Command, along with representatives from the other commands, will attend the symposium to evaluate the technologies and solutions on display. Their assessments will guide future procurement under the Special Financial Powers granted to Army Commands, aimed at bolstering the operational readiness and capability of the Command.

The procurement from EASTECH has been rising ever since with over 300 Cr worth of SO placed from 2024 November till date and more than 400 cr projected from the 2025 edition.
