The five-day exhibition is expected to attract over 70,000 business visitors from India and abroad.
The theme for this year’s EXCON is “Smart i-tech – Next Gen India @ 75”, which will aim to demonstrate the role of smart technologies and innovation in design in the manufacture of next-gen construction equipment and machinery to support the rapid pace of infrastructure development in the South Asian region.
EXCON 2019 endeavors to build India’s infrastructure in an ecologically sustainable manner, enabling projects on Smart Cities, supporting Swachh Bharat programs, promoting Skill Development and position “Make in India” – as the National Agenda for achieving holistic growth in the infrastructure and related sectors.
In order to give a boost to the infrastructure sector, the Government of India has announced its intention to invest Rs. 100 lakh crores in infrastructure over the next five years. The government has also proposed for expanding 1,25,000 km of rural roads under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) and creating a national highway grid. Through the PMGSY program, the government has planned to bring in connectivity between all villages through road network by 2019 and 2,000 kms of coastal connectivity roads have been recognized for construction and development.
As part of the 10th year celebrations of EXCON, CII would organise special activities like celebrating Women in Infrastructure, exclusive pavilions on AI, IoT, Robotics, startups, components & parts among others.
As has been the trend over the years, EXCON will provide an ideal platform that brings together all key stakeholders in the infrastructure sector including policymakers, investors, and developers, all of whom are part of the exciting growth story of India’s infrastructure boom. Over the last nine editions, the event has grown into one of the top-most construction equipment exhibitions in this part of the world and aspires to grow bigger and better in the years to come.
