Brief History:

In 1895, 5 engineering firms, the members of the Bengal Chamber of Commerce and Industry, joined hands to form the Engineering and Iron Trades Association (EITA). It was established to pressurize the colonial government to place government orders with companies based in India.
In 1912, EITA was renamed IEA to reflect the association's intention to exclude traders from membership and promote the cause of manufacturers.
In 1942, Engineering Association of India (EAI) was established as an affiliate of the Indian Chamber of Commerce to promote the engineering firms owned by Indians.
In 1974, IEA and EAI were merged to form Association of Indian Engineering Industry (AIEI).
In 1986, the AIEI was renamed Confederation of Engineering Industry (CEI) to reflect the growth of the organization.
In 1991, Industrial licensing was abolished.
On 1^st January 1992, the CEI was renamed Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in keeping with government decision of liberalization of the Indian economy. Since 1992, rapid expansion and consolidation helped CII to become a reputed business association in India.
