The show is expected to become the largest construction machinery trade fair in India in terms of participating exhibitors and will also be the country's most international construction event with 70% of registered exhibitors headquartered outside of India.

After India, the top five countries of origin for the exhibitors are Germany, Italy, the US, China and Great Britain respectively.
