India’s CEV sector today is not just expanding in scale, but also transforming in character—embracing technology, sustainability, and innovation at its core. Efficiency, digital integration, safety, and environmental stewardship are now key imperatives shaping product design, manufacturing, and operations. The industry’s role has evolved from being a supplier of machines to becoming an enabler of sustainable infrastructure and a partner in India’s broader economic progress. The EXCON 2025 theme mirrors the direction in which the entire ecosystem is moving—towards greater productivity, equitable growth, and deeper stakeholder collaboration ensuring the sector remains competitive in the evolving global landscape. As we gear up for Viksit Bharat, events like this reaffirm that our industry’s future is not just about building structures, but building a stronger, more connected India.

EXCON 2025: Where Technology Meets Opportunity

To fully leverage these technologies, specialized equipment, mechanization, and cranes are increasingly essential. In this context, EXCON serves as a vital platform for industry stakeholders to showcase innovations, explore sustainable solutions, strengthen domestic capabilities under the Atmanirbharta initiative, and connect with partners across the construction ecosystem, preparing India for the next phase of infrastructure growth.

In FY25, the construction equipment industry demonstrated remarkable resilience, achieving a 3.3 percent growth in total sales, reaching 1,40,191 units, while domestic sales rose by 2.7 percent to 1,26,961 units. The transition to CEV V emission standards in January 2025 created pre-buying momentum, while earthmoving equipment continued to dominate the market, and material handling and concrete equipment maintained their steady positions. These robust performance indicators, coupled with upcoming government infrastructure projects, and the industry’s focus on innovation, sustainability, and skill development, underscore the critical role of EXCON 2025 as a premier platform for showcasing the future of India’s construction sector.

A Platform for Learning, Collaboration & Global Competitiveness

The exhibition provides a live platform for over 300 product launches, more than 5,000 B2B meetings, and sectoral conferences that bring together industry leaders, policymakers, and academia. Participants can explore cutting-edge construction technologies, evaluate equipment solutions, and collaborate on modernizing India’s infrastructure sector. Policy support under the Make in India initiative, budgetary allocations for world-class infrastructure, and government focus on upcoming projects are driving both domestic manufacturing and exports.

For 2025-26, CII has adopted the theme ‘Accelerating Competitiveness: Globalisation, Inclusivity, Sustainability, Trust’, focusing on five key pillars. Throughout the year, CII will align its initiatives to enhance India’s competitiveness by promoting global engagement, inclusive growth, sustainable practices, and building trust objectives that resonate closely with the goals of EXCON 2025.

Other highlights include alternate fuels, AI in construction, IoT and automation, green construction, and defense and paramilitary infrastructure, ensuring the exhibition remains globally relevant while supporting India’s national development priorities. By bringing together government officials, equipment manufacturers, buyers, contractors, rental companies, professionals, and academia, EXCON continues to serve as a key enabler for India’s infrastructure growth, providing a platform to showcase technological prowess, foster knowledge exchange, and drive economic development.

Bridging the Skill Gap

EXCON 2025 places a strong emphasis on skill development and inclusion, featuring women operators of construction machinery and fostering collaboration between industry and academia to make civil engineering and construction careers aspirational for young talent.

Meghraj Singh, Chairman and Managing Director, Rentease
I am looking forward to visiting EXCON 2025 to explore the latest technologies and discover the newest construction machinery, equipment, and innovations that enhance efficiency and performance. I also aim to learn how the industry is adopting green, energy-efficient, and sustainable technologies for a better future. The event will help me identify tools and solutions that can simplify operations, improve productivity, and reduce project and operational costs.

I also look forward to networking with industry professionals, suppliers, and experts to exchange ideas and experiences. The event will also help me in gaining valuable insights into global trends, market developments, and best practices that can support informed decision-making and future planning.

Omprakash Yadav, Managing Director, Trine Power
EXCON 2025 is a rallying point to move from intent to impact. Let’s reduce fuel use, noise, and emission, especially across India’s night-time worksites without compromising productivity. Trine Power is fielding next‑gen light towers with CPCB‑compliant engines, high‑efficacy LEDs, and IoT telemetry to curb idle time, optimize runtime, and cut carbon per lumen delivered. Partner with us to pilot a data‑backed, low‑emission lighting plan for your next EPC or rental deployment, with 90‑day targets for fuel savings, uptime, and safety KPIs.

Visit our EXCON booth to book a site assessment, commit to greener job sites, and co‑create circular maintenance and remote asset programs that accelerate sustainable growth across the value chain.

C A Prasad, Director, Metey Engineering & Consultancy
EXCON is more than a trade fair — it’s a knowledge hub where the global construction industry converges. Each edition brings together manufacturers, suppliers, contractors, and decision-makers under one roof to explore cutting-edge machinery, technologies, and sustainable solutions shaping the future of infrastructure. I make it a point to attend for at least two days to stay updated on the latest advancements, and I strongly urge all stakeholders and professionals — from engineers to builders, contractors, and government officials — to be part of this dynamic and enriching experience.

Yeshwanth Arulkumar, Administrative Officer, Gandhi Cranes
At EXCON 2025, our priority is to explore next-generation systems and solutions that improve uptime, reduce cost per lift, lower emissions, and enhance client experience. We aim to collaborate with OEMs to secure rapid parts supply, adopt CMMS for predictive and safer maintenance, and integrate low-emission technologies while optimizing counterweight logistics to cut transport-related emissions.

The event will help us benchmark new cranes, attachments, telematics, and retrofits, assess total cost of ownership, and build data-driven partnerships to enhance reliability and lifecycle performance. EXCON also offers the opportunity to engage with global best practices in lift engineering, safety, workforce development, and green logistics—helping us chart a smarter, more sustainable future for our operations.
