The Institution of Engineers (India) (IEI) was established by Sir Thomas Holland and others in Madras (which is now called Chennai) in 1920. In 1935, it obtained the Royal Charter from King George V to promote and advance the art, science and practice of engineering and technology in India.

The first President of the Institution was Sir Thomas R. J. Ward (President 1920). Sir Thomas Guthrie Russell (President 1933-34) played a key role in the successful petition for a Royal Charter. The current President is Professor S. C. Naik.
