The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), India’s leading industry body, successfully concluded the 13th edition of EXCON 2025, South Asia’s largest construction equipment exhibition, which was held from December 9 to 13, 2025, at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC). Spanning 3.5 million sq. ft., the event attracted over 1,250 exhibitors, including 134 international participants from 20 countries, and drew an estimated 1.2 lakh business visitors, solidifying its rank as the third largest construction equipment expo worldwide.
The expo featured seven international pavilions from countries like France, Germany, Italy, South Korea, Turkey, China, and the UK, alongside over 300 product launches and live demonstrations of advanced machinery. Business visitors, policymakers, and buyers engaged in extensive B2B meetings, order bookings, and technology tie-ups, highlighting a robust industry growth momentum.
Highlighting the strategic importance of India’s infra construction sector, R. Mukundan, President Designate - CII and Chairman - EXCON 2025, said, “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 ₹11.21 lakh crore allocated for FY2025–26. EXCON supports this vision by enabling technology adoption, mechanisation, and sustainability in construction, while also serving as a catalyst for partnerships and next-generation solutions.”
Aligned with the theme ‘Building India’s Tomorrow’, EXCON 2025 placed strong emphasis on AI, IoT, automation, electric and hybrid equipment, and green technologies aimed at low-emission construction. The expo also hosted conferences and knowledge sessions on skill development, safety, decarbonization, and alignment with Bharatmala, high-speed rails, and Smart Cities under PM Gati Shakti. These sessions fostered collaborations among OEMs, contractors, financiers, SMEs, and startups, advancing the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative in construction.
Sharing the industry’s long-term vision, Deepak Shetty, Co-Chairman - EXCON 2025, said, “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 country is laying the foundation for sustainable growth and global competitiveness. The construction equipment industry is committed to positioning India as 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 under the Atmanirbhar Bharat vision, with exports to over 135 countries.”
He added, “This ambition aligns with the country’s infrastructure goals and the growing need for advanced technologies to deliver mega projects and smart cities. EXCON truly represents the ‘festival of construction equipment’ and reflects this momentum by bringing together industry stakeholders and enabling the adoption of next-generation construction equipment and solutions. It is heartening to once again see records being broken through collective industry effort. India today is the world’s third-largest construction equipment market, and I am confident that we have the potential to move to second position within the next five years. EXCON will continue to be a vital platform for showcasing cutting-edge products and solutions that support infrastructure development in India and across global markets.”
With record participation, strong international engagement, and a clear focus on sustainability and mechanisation, EXCON 2025 reinforced its role as a premier platform driving innovation, collaboration, and growth in India’s construction equipment ecosystem, while supporting the sector’s journey towards a US$25 billion market by 2030, expanding exports to over 135 countries, and strengthening Bengaluru’s emergence as a key construction technology hub aligned with India’s $30 trillion economy vision for 2047.
