Evaluation of nuclear data for production routes of $^{ 110m}$In is in progress in the frame of an IAEA Coordinated Research Project (CRP). New experimental cross section data for the indirect $^{ nat}$In(p,x)$^{ 110}$Sn $\longrightarrow$ $^{ 110m}$In and for the direct $^{ 107}$Ag($\alpha$,n)$^{ 110m}$In and $^{ 109}$Ag($^{ 3}$He,2n)$^{ 110m}$In production routes and for the satellite impurity reactions $^{ 107}$Ag($\alpha$,xn)$^{ 110g,109}$In and $^{ 109}$Ag($^{ 3}$He,xn)$^{ 110g,111,109}$In have been measured by using the activation method, stacked foil irradiation technique and gamma-ray spectrometry. Additional data are reported for production of the $^{ 111}$In diagnostic gamma-emitter via the $^{ 109}$Ag($\alpha$,2n)$^{ 111}$In reaction. The earlier experimental data were critically reviewed in order to prepare recommended data and optimal production parameters for the different routes.
