With the construction equipment industry being the primary stakeholder, the infrastructure sector is an economic driver, and is poised to play an important role in propelling the country’s overall growth and development. ICEMA has been developing a construction equipment ecosystem in India, for which existing strengths need to be showcased to both, the domestic and global players. For this, ICEMA has been building the brand of the Indian construction equipment industry, and has developed a first-of-its-kind ‘CE Industry Catalogue’ to showcase the country's manufacturing strengths for a vast range of hi-tech equipment, apart from, providing comprehensive information and connect to industry stakeholders including OEMs, suppliers and vendors, financiers and other players.

The catalogue will also help attract investments in the Indian market through global suppliers setting up manufacturing base in India alongside promoting Indian products internationally. A stronger supply chain will also support the centre’s Atma Nirbhar Bharat Mission.
