Mumbai : Informa Markets in India, India’s leading B2B exhibitions organiser, is set to host the 12th edition of World of Concrete India 2026 from 3rd to 5th June 2026 at the Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai. The exhibition comes at a time when infrastructure delivery in India is being shaped by speed, durability, sustainability and technology adoption.
Designed as a specialised B2B forum, World of Concrete India 2026 will connect manufacturers, suppliers, contractors, developers, architects, consultants, infrastructure companies, project leaders and government stakeholders. The show will enable the industry to evaluate advanced materials, efficient construction methods and digital solutions that support faster, safer and more resilient project execution.
The upcoming edition is expected to feature over 350 brands and more than 18,000 trade professionals, reinforcing its position as India’s only dedicated concrete-focused exhibition. It will cover concrete and cement, dry mortar, precast technologies and formwork, construction chemicals, industrial and commercial flooring, scaffolding and safety solutions, construction equipment and batching plants, TMT bars, BIM, management software and AI-led construction technologies.
Mr. Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director, Informa Markets in India, said, “India is entering a defining decade for infrastructure and urban transformation, where the focus is no longer only on scale, but equally on resilience, sustainability, speed of execution and technology-led project delivery. With the Government’s continued capex push, rapid urbanisation and increasing private sector participation, the construction ecosystem is witnessing a strong shift towards advanced materials, industrialised construction methods and digitally integrated project management.
As India’s real estate sector moves towards the USD 1 trillion mark by 2030, the demand for high-performance, durable and environmentally responsible construction solutions will continue to grow significantly. World of Concrete India 2026 has been curated as a strategic industry platform that brings together the entire concrete and construction value chain to collaborate, exchange expertise and accelerate the adoption of future-ready solutions. From geopolymer concrete and precast technologies to AI-led construction systems and sustainable materials, the exhibition will showcase innovations that are shaping the next phase of India’s infrastructure growth.”
India’s infrastructure and urban development agenda is creating a strong demand environment for the concrete and construction industry. In Union Budget 2026-27, the Government proposed public capital expenditure of ₹12.2 lakh crore, continued focus on Tier II and Tier III cities with populations above 5 lakh, and an Infrastructure Risk Guarantee Fund to improve confidence among private developers. The Budget also proposed a ₹20,000 crore outlay for CCUS demonstration projects, a move relevant for hard-to-abate sectors such as cement and the wider push towards lower-carbon construction materials.
The ₹1 lakh crore Urban Challenge Fund, aimed at catalysing nearly ₹4 lakh crore in urban-sector investments over five years, further strengthens the show’s relevance. These measures point to rising demand for durable concrete systems, precast and modular solutions, construction chemicals, batching and equipment technologies, AI-led tools, digital project management platforms and sustainable materials. An official April 2026 core-sector data also reported cement output growth of 9.4% and steel output growth of 6.2% year-on-year, while cumulative FY2025-26 cement and steel production rose 8.7% and 9.5%, respectively.
The sector is simultaneously navigating raw material price volatility, energy and logistics costs, regulatory complexity, workforce requirements and sustainability-linked pressures. World of Concrete India 2026 will address these priorities through product showcases, technical dialogue and business networking, enabling stakeholders to evaluate solutions aligned with India’s next phase of resilient, lower-carbon and technology-enabled infrastructure.
The event is supported by Builders Association of India, Drymortar Association, Readymix Concrete Manufacturers Association, India Concrete Institute and Precast Manufacturers Association of India. Prominent participating brands include UltraTech, Sika India, Jindal Panther Cement, Godrej Construction, JSW Cement, Natural Cemeco, Mapei, Chryso India, Fosroc, Nerolac and Asian Paints, among others.
The exhibition floor will be complemented by the CEO Conclave, Open Tech Forum, Innovation Theatre, dedicated Investor Zone, Start-up Pavilion, Country Pavilions and live demonstrations. The event will host 12 conference sessions with 100+ global speakers, while a white paper by knowledge partner 1Lattice will examine emerging trends, material innovations and the future of concrete in India.
As a high-value sourcing, learning and networking destination, World of Concrete India 2026 will offer a comprehensive view of the technologies, materials and partnerships shaping India’s next decade of infrastructure growth.
