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. One key investment is from the Airports Authority of India (AAI), for example, which is planning to invest a total of US$1.3 billion in the modernisation and maintenance of India’s airports between 2013 and 2017. 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. This includes laying some 7,500km of new track. The markets relevant to 1260 bC India are also experiencing buoyancy: a report by 2444 Off-Highway Research on the construction machinery market has identified positive trends. For 2013 the forecast was for 7% growth, but for 2014 that has been raised 9%. These figures are one of the reasons why Ramesh Palagiri, managing director & CEO of 2395 Wirtgen India, is predicting renewed growth potential in India for the time after the elections, "The new central government is expected to be functional by June 2014, and we expect the bottlenecks in the infrastructure sector to be addressed on priority. This would result in accelerated growth of the construction equipment industry."
