How is your company preparing for Excon?

The construction equipment industry is quite upbeat about the sector's growth prospects and emerging opportunities arising out of the Government's drive for infrastructure development through ambitious programmes like Gati Shakti and the National Infrastructure Pipeline. This year’s Budget and subsequent announcements on infrastructure investment have laid out a clear growth-oriented path for the construction industry as it emphasises capital expenditure and sustainable infrastructure development. These initiatives will expand the market for all stakeholders in the sector, including L&T Construction and Mining Machinery, which has always pioneered cutting-edge technologies revolutionising the industry over the years.

Excon is a well-established and popular platform for the construction equipment industry to showcase newer technologies and latest equipment. It brings together corporates, large infrastructure firms, contractors, subcontractors, project construction professionals and retail customers to interact with original equipment producers and suppliers. The Indian construction equipment industry looks forward to every edition of Excon to showcase its latest technologies, launch new products and gain insights into ever-changing customer preferences. Komatsu and L&T have been participating since inception and found it to be a valuable platform to showcase advanced machines.

We will use Excon as a platform to introduce new products and showcase our technological prowess. This year along with advanced construction equipment, we proudly present Komatsu HB 205, a cutting-edge hybrid model showcasing advanced capabilities.

Do you have any specific suggestions for Excon organisers to enhance the exhibitor and visitor experience?

Led by industry leaders who are part of Excon’s Steering Committee, every edition of the exhibition has witnessed improvements in every aspect over the previous edition. This is because the Steering Committee continuously deliberates on ways to enhance the exhibition, the largest in South Asia for construction equipment, to improve the overall customer experience.
