The Indian construction market is bullish in the run up to the bC Indian show, being planned for December 15th to 18th, 2014. The event will be held in the India Expo Centre in Greater Noida, near capital Delhi and strong attendance is expected, especially since the country’s construction sector is seeing high demand for new equipment in response to a series of major new contracts and projects getting underway.

This includes building 100 additional airports into operation by 2020. Significant expansion is also planned for other forms of transport: The Institute of Metro and Rail Technology announced recently that in the next 15 years around $16 billion will be invested in the rail and Metro network.
