Deepak Shetty, Co-Chairman, EXCON 2025, noted that India, currently the world’s third-largest construction equipment market, has the potential to rise to second place within five years, with EXCON serving as a key platform for industry advancement.

EXCON 2025 spotlighted “Building India’s Tomorrow” through innovations in AI, IoT, automation, electric and hybrid equipment, and low-emission technologies. Conferences on skill development, safety, decarbonisation and PM Gati Shakti-aligned infrastructure strategies supported collaboration among OEMs, contractors, financiers, SMEs and startups, further advancing Atmanirbhar Bharat.

The event also accelerated the industry’s push toward a projected $25 billion construction equipment market by 2030, expanding exports to over 135 countries and reinforcing Bengaluru’s position as a rising construction-tech hub contributing to India’s goal of becoming a $30 trillion economy by 2047.
