The way the infrastructure and construction industry is growing in India, it cannot be ignored.? He went on to recap the growth demographics and opportunities for the country..

Hemant Mathur, GM& Head - Construction Equipment Business, Larsen & Toubro, very pragmatically stated, ?If the Indian economy has to revive and I am sure it will, the construction and construction equipment industry will be the first to see live action happening at the ground level.

He proceeded to provide detailed all round overview of all the developments happening in the country and the indicators which will eventually contribute to India?s growth in construction and mining sectors. Interestingly he listed the pain areas being experienced by the industry.

He ended up by extending a warm welcome to all expected visitors..

Neerav Parmar, Chairman - Mumbai, Builder Association of India, and Director, Shapoorji Pallonji, highlighted the growth potential of the construction industry on the days to come.
