R. Mukundan, President Designate, CII and Chairman,
EXCON 2025, said, “As an industry-driven
platform, EXCON reflects our collective commitment to building a stronger
India. The construction equipment sector plays a pivotal role in the nation’s
economic growth, as infrastructure development and economic expansion go hand
in hand. This edition of EXCON showcased several forward-looking innovations,
particularly in the areas of sustainability and green energy, underscoring the
industry’s readiness for the future. Industry reports also indicate significant
headroom for growth, with the construction equipment sector well-positioned to
catch up with other manufacturing industries in the coming years.”
EXCON 2025 emphasized “Building India’s
Tomorrow” through zones on AI, IoT, automation, electric/hybrid equipment,
and green technologies for low-emission projects. Conferences covered skill
development, safety, decarbonization, and alignment with Bharatmala, high-speed
rail, and Smart Cities under PM Gati Shakti. These sessions fostered
collaborations among OEMs, contractors, financiers, SMEs, and startups,
advancing Atmanirbhar Bharat in construction.
“The 13th edition of EXCON has set new benchmarks
in scale and participation, making it the largest construction equipment
exhibition ever organized by CII. EXCON continues to serve as a vital industry-led
platform that brings together manufacturers, policymakers, and global
stakeholders, while showcasing India’s growing capabilities in construction
equipment and infrastructure solutions. The strong participation, innovative
products and technologies on display, and increasing international engagement
reflect the sector’s growing maturity and its alignment with India’s long-term
economic and sustainability priorities,” said Chandrajit Banerjee,
Director General, CII.
“EXCON truly represents the ‘festival of construction
equipment,’ and it is heartening to once again see records being broken through
collective industry effort. India today is the world’s third-largest
construction equipment market, and I am confident that we have the potential to
move to second position within the next five years. EXCON will continue to be a
vital platform for showcasing cutting-edge products and solutions that support
infrastructure development in India and across global markets,” said
Deepak Shetty, Co-Chairman, EXCON 2025.
The event accelerated mechanization, targeting a $25
billion construction equipment market by 2030 with exports to over 135
countries, while reinforcing Bengaluru’s emergence as a construction tech hub
driving India’s $30 trillion economy goal by 2047.
