Hosted by CII, the 13th edition of EXCON 2025, South Asia’s premier Construction Equipment Exhibition, will take place from 9 to 13 December 2025 at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC), Bengaluru.

Since its launch in 2000, EXCON has expanded significantly, now spanning 3.5 million sq ft of exhibition space with over 1,250 exhibitors, including 134 international participants from 20 countries. This edition features seven country pavilions representing France, Germany, Italy, South Korea, Turkey, China and the UK, marking it as one of the largest construction equipment exhibitions globally and the second largest in Asia.

EXCON, originally launched as an exhibition, has grown into a distinguished construction equipment festival that the industry eagerly anticipates every two years. Recognised as a leading platform for the debut of innovative vehicles and technologies, EXCON exemplifies the continued modernisation and dynamic growth of India’s construction ecosystem.

Currently ranked as the third largest construction equipment exhibition worldwide, EXCON aims to become the second largest by 2032, underscoring the rapid expansion and importance of India’s infrastructure sector. It has been instrumental in accelerating the adoption of advanced technology and modern machinery, driving infrastructure development across the country.

“India is on a historic growth trajectory, aiming to become a $30 trillion economy by 2047 under the Viksit Bharat vision. Infrastructure will be the backbone of this transformation, with Rs 11.21 trillion allocated for FY2025-26. Mega projects like Bharatmala, high-speed rail, and Smart Cities under PM Gati Shakti are driving connectivity and urban development at an unprecedented scale,” said R Mukundan, President Designate, CII and Chairman, EXCON 2025.

“EXCON supports this vision by serving as the largest platform for technology adoption, mechanization, and sustainability in construction. It brings global innovators, policymakers, and industry leaders together to introduce advanced solutions automation, IoT, AI-driven machinery, and green technologies that accelerate project execution and improve competitiveness. Every edition of EXCON sets new benchmarks, ensuring India’s infrastructure ecosystem is future ready. As the nation moves toward its $30 trillion goal, EXCON will continue to empower stakeholders, foster collaboration, and drive modernization, making it the epicenter of India’s infrastructure revolution,” added R Mukundan.

EXCON continues to be a transformative force in the construction equipment sector, driving the adoption of cutting-edge technology and modern machinery critical for accelerating India’s infrastructure growth. As a key enabler, EXCON fast-tracks the integration of these advancements, positioning itself as a catalyst for the nationwide development agenda.

This event will highlight cutting-edge equipment and technologies to drive modern infrastructure development, while also emphasising Karnataka’s position as a growing manufacturing hub for construction equipment and components. The expo will spotlight innovations shaping the future of construction and serve as a key driver of investment and collaboration in the industry.

“EXCON 2025 is more than an exhibition; it is India’s premier Construction Festival. This edition is set to establish new benchmarks in scale and diversity, bringing together global technology leaders and innovation hubs under one roof. Attendees will experience live demonstrations, cutting-edge solutions, and sustainability-focused pavilions that are shaping the future of construction. As a must-attend event for all industry stakeholders, EXCON offers unparalleled opportunities for networking and collaboration. Spread across 3,500,000 sq. meters, the event will feature over 1,250 exhibitors, including international participants from 20 countries and 7 dedicated international pavilions, and unveil more than 300 product launches,” said Chandrajit Banerjee, Director General, CII. 

“India stands at the threshold of an infrastructure revolution that will define its economic future. With record investments in roads, railways, ports, and urban development, the nation is building the foundation for sustainable growth and global competitiveness. The construction equipment industry is committed to making India the second largest and fastest-growing CE market globally, tripling its size to US$25 billion and emerging as a global manufacturing and export hub, an embodiment of Atmanirbhar Bharat with exports to over 135 countries. This ambition aligns with the country’s infrastructure goals and the need for advanced technologies to meet the demands of mega projects and smart cities. EXCON 2025 reflects this momentum. It is not just an event it is a celebration of progress and a showcase of possibilities,” said Deepak Shetty, Co-Chairman, EXCON 2025.

This event serves as a pivotal platform for the construction sector, bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, innovators and global participants to showcase advancements, explore business opportunities and foster growth in India’s infrastructure space. CII invites stakeholders across the construction landscape to participate in this significant event, designed to stimulate new partnerships and accelerate the growth trajectory of India’s infrastructure sector.
