The infrastructure sector is a key driver of the Indian economy. The sector is highly responsible for propelling India's overall development and enjoys intense focus from the government for initiating policies that would ensure the time-bound creation of world-class infrastructure in the country.

Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), India's apex Industry association  will be hosting the 11th edition of EXCON – South Asia’s Largest Construction Equipment  Exhibition from 17 - 21 May 2022, at Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC), Bengaluru.  The event will spread over 3,00,000 square meters of display area and is expected to attract over 1000 exhibitors from India & abroad including countries like the USA, UK, France, Germany, Italy, UAE, South Korea, Singapore, Turkey and Sri Lanka. The 5-day exhibition would attract over 50,000 business visitors from all over the world.

With the aim to position India as a global hub for construction equipment manufacturing, EXCON acts as a platform for the construction equipment and components industry that brings together stakeholders to further deliberate and understand the latest developments in the industry.

“EXCON will reflect on the theme elements at the exhibition and also set the pace for Atmanirbhar Bharat in infrastructure development in the country. With the presence of large OEMs and a strong supply chain supported by a vibrant components sector, India is all set to become the manufacturing and export hub of the world for Construction equipment manufacturing”, said Mr Deepak Shetty, Chairman,   CII EXCON and Managing Director & CEO, JCB India Limited.

EXCON will address both marketing and educational platforms for all stakeholders. Government and senior bureaucrats consider EXCON as a knowledge platform for various departments (PWD’s and Civil Engineering Departments), private contractors, builders, road/ infrastructure developers, smart city/ urban planning, army, border roads organisations, etc. to witness the latest technology, equipment and machinery which will enable accelerated infrastructure development needs of the nation.

Leading construction equipment manufacturers at the exhibition, will demonstrate the versatility of machines, sophistication in construction technologies and more importantly showcase the cost-effective solutions for builders and contractors for speedy implementation of projects with a focus on quality, safety and environmental sustainability.
