In the heart of India’s bustling metropolis, a transformative vision is taking shape, one that’s set to reshape the nation’s construction industry. The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has unveiled its grand plan – EXCON 2023, South Asia’s largest construction equipment exhibition, slated to run from December 12th to 16th, 2023, at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre in Bengaluru.
This grand event isn’t just about the present; it’s about propelling India into the future. EXCON is positioned to drive India to become the world’s second-largest construction equipment market by 2030. It’s a bold vision, but one well within reach. The nation’s infrastructure is undergoing a rapid and transformative expansion, driven by increased government spending on various projects. Policy reforms are underway, and the wheels of progress are turning. As Sakthi Kumar VG, Member of the EXCON 2023 Steering Committee and Managing Director of Schwing Stetter (India) Pvt Ltd, stated, “Our government’s investment underscores India’s unwavering dedication to advancing infrastructure growth, fostering an environment conducive to economic advancement, and enhancing global competitiveness.”
EXCON 2023 isn’t just an exhibition; it’s a declaration of India’s unceasing progress. “We are thrilled to introduce the Twelfth Edition of EXCON, embracing the theme, ‘Building India’s Tomorrow.’ This theme encompasses the fundamental pillars of Technology, Globalization, Sustainability, and Inclusivity. EXCON 2023 is far more than just an event; it serves as the driving force behind India’s infrastructure development, solidifying India’s eminent position as a global hub for construction equipment manufacturing.”
The economic journey of India is intricately linked to the vitality of the infrastructure sector, an area receiving substantial attention from the government. India is investing a staggering sum of Rs 10 lakh crores, equivalent to over US$ 130.57 billion, to fortify this domain.
EXCON 2023 is not just about exhibitions; it’s about highlighting innovation. It features a multitude of highlights, including a focus on Alternate Fuels, AI Pavilion, Aatma Nirbhar Bharat, Skills, Women operating construction equipment, Conferences on Defence & Paramilitary, Green Construction focusing on Sustainability, AI & IoT, and Automation in the Construction Engineering Sector.
It’s a dual-purpose platform, offering opportunities for both marketing and education to all stakeholders. Government officials, senior bureaucrats, private contractors, builders, and infrastructure experts leverage it as an educational forum. They come to observe the latest displays of technology, equipment, and machinery, facilitating the nation’s accelerated infrastructure development requirements.
EXCON 2023 isn’t just about the present; it’s about the future. It highlights leading construction equipment manufacturers as they showcase the adaptability of their machinery and the advancement of construction technologies. These exhibitors present economical solutions aimed at accelerating project execution, placing a strong emphasis on upholding standards of quality, safety, and environmental sustainability.
As the event unfolds, it’s not just about companies; it’s about the collective endeavor to reshape India’s construction landscape. Companies like JCB, Caterpillar, Larsen and Toubro, Sany, Schwing Stetter, Tata Hitachi, and many more are on the forefront, showcasing their innovative solutions.

EXCON 2023 isn’t just an exhibition; it’s a pivotal moment in India’s journey towards becoming a construction equipment powerhouse. It’s a declaration of intent, a promise of innovation, and a step forward on the path to India’s construction equipment prominence.
