The 14th Cement Expo and 9th Indian Cement Review (ICR) Conference 2023 was held at Manekshaw Centre in New Delhi. Cement EXPO 2023, co-located with the 9th ICR Conference and the ICR Awards, was organised by FCC (an eminent infrastructure think-tank) and Indian Cement Review (ICR), India’s foremost cement publication with a rich 38-year legacy. At the conference with the theme ‘Driving Sustainability Through Technology,’ Pratap Padode, Founder, FIRST Construction Council (FCC), said, “All the big players of the industry are focussing on increasing their capacity with an estimated projection of 200 million tonnes (MT) of capacity to be added in the coming years. In fiscal 2023, 30-32 MT capacity addition is reportedly expected. We can see capacity addition picking up pace in fiscal 2024 at over 30-32 MT leading up to the addition of 150 MT by fiscal 2027. Considering this speed of expansion, the Indian cement sector is poised for a giant leap.”
