While addressing the road show, V G Sakthi Kumar, Member, EXCON Steering Committee & Managing Director, Schwing Stetter (India) Pvt Ltd said, “This is the eleventh edition of the EXCON and our theme this year is on “Building India for a New World: Competitiveness, Growth, Sustainability, Technology. EXCON will exemplify the role of smart technologies and innovation in India’s infrastructure development to achieve the vision of making India the global hub for Construction Equipment Manufacturing by 2030.
Indian CE industry, being the 3rd largest market in the world, currently holds a prominent position in the global CE landscape. Government of India’s ambitious Rs 111 lakh crore National Infrastructure Pipeline would augur well for the Indian construction equipment industry to become the 2nd largest CE market in the world, with a size of USD 25 billion by 2030, said Sakthi Kumar.
EXCON endeavours to build India’s infrastructure in an ecologically sustainable manner, enabling projects on Smart Cities, supporting Swachh Bharat programs, promoting skill development and positioning “Make in India” – as the National Agenda for achieving holistic growth in the infrastructure and related sectors.
Some of the highlights of EXCON include exclusive focus on Alternate Fuels, Ai Pavilion, Finance Plaza, Skills, Women operating construction equipment and machinery, Equal opportunity awards for women, MSMEs, Digital Transformation besides sustainability and safety among others.
Deepak Garg, Member, EXCON Steering Committee & Managing Director, Sany Heavy Industry India Pvt Ltd said, “Encouraging the adoption of world-class technologies for speedy implementation of infrastructure projects is the current need of the State. EXCON with the presence of world-class players in the construction equipment sector, will not only deliver the best in class technologies along with cost-effective solutions, but will also bring more awareness amongst all stakeholders on the latest developments in CE Industry.”
“The allocation of Rs 20,000 crore in the Union Budget for PM Gati Shakti – multi-modal connectivity for the States with focus on roads, railways, airports, ports and waterways besides expansion of 25,000 kms of National Highway Network in 2022-23 would give tremendous push for infrastructure development in the country”, said Deepak Garg.
