28 Oct 2023 CW Team

Hosted by the FIRST Construction Council in partnership with CW, the 9th India Construction Festival (ICF) brought together the top industry heads of the construction industry in Delhi on October 12, 2023. This landmark event united industry stakeholders for star-studded events: The 13th India Roads Conference and the 21st CONSTRUCTION WORLD Global Awards.

“Most newspapers talk about happenings connected to our industry and we’ve seen evidence of this,” stated Pratap Padode, Founder and President, First Construction Council, setting the tone for the proceedings. “Our website traffic in the last six months has just exploded. We were doing about 200,000 unique visitors a month; now, it has crossed around 800,000. India is not talking about roads unnecessarily. Our road network is second only to the USA in the whole world. It is way ahead of China’s. No wonder several road asset funds are looking towards NHAI and India’s asset monetisation plan.”
