EXCON 2023 is more than just an event; it serves as the driving force behind India's continuous progress, symbolizing our robust infrastructure development and solidifying India's prominent position as a global hub for construction equipment manufacturing”.

In 2023, the construction industry is on the cusp of a technological revolution, driven by several key innovations. Generative AI, an advanced technology, is optimising the design process, generating highly efficient and innovative designs. Technology plays a pivotal role in facilitating gradual expansion and improving efficiency in the sector. Moreover, the Construction Equipment industry is positioning itself for remarkable growth, targeting over 15 per cent year-on-year increase in the next five years. This ambitious goal underscores their commitment to providing the cutting-edge machinery and equipment needed to support the industry's transformation, ensuring that construction projects across the nation are not only innovative but also executed with enhanced efficiency, and precision with a focus on sustainability.

India's economic progress is closely linked with the infrastructure sector's vitality, which has garnered significant government focus. Demonstrating a strong commitment to this cause, the government has earmarked a substantial allocation of Rs 10 lakh crores, equivalent to an impressive $130.57 billion, to strengthen this sector. The government has recognised the immense size and potential of technology within the construction landscape. As part of a technology sub-mission under PMAY-U, they have identified 54 innovative global technologies, heralding the dawn of a new era in the Indian construction technology sector. This initiative is expected to pave the way for a more inclusive roadmap for all stakeholders.
