The event will cover products and technologies spanning concrete, masonry, construction equipment, and allied sectors, offering architects, engineers, contractors, builders, project managers, consultants, real estate developers, and government authorities a comprehensive networking and knowledge-sharing platform. This year’s theme, “Comprehensive Concrete Review: A Complete Supply Chain”, will be explored through conferences, masterclasses, conclaves, and innovation showcases.

International participation will be strong, with the German Pavilion and exhibitors from Korea, China, USA, and Spain bringing global expertise to the Indian market. 1Lattice joins as Knowledge Partner, while GRIHA supports sustainability initiatives, reinforcing the expo’s focus on innovation and green construction.

Speaking about the expo, Yogesh Mudras, MD, Informa Markets in India, said, “India’s construction and cement sectors are poised for accelerated growth, driven by infrastructure investments and government initiatives such as Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. With the industry embracing sustainability, platforms like World of Concrete India play a key role in driving innovation, dialogue, and collaboration to build a future-ready ecosystem.”

The three-day conference schedule includes panels and presentations on innovations in concrete technology, high-rise construction, decarbonisation, sustainable design, and concrete standards.

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.
