India’s construction sector continues to grow rapidly, with cement production expected to reach 480–485 million MT in FY26, driven by projects like the National Infrastructure Pipeline, Mumbai–Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail, and Chennai–Bengaluru Expressway. Government initiatives, including a Rs 50 billion mission to incentivise sustainable steel production, are further boosting decarbonisation and green technologies.

The 2025 edition of WoC India promises to be a key hub for collaboration, innovation, and knowledge-sharing, reinforcing India’s status as a fast-growing and sustainable construction market.
