More than 31,000 participants and 647 exhibitors—of which 57 per cent were international companies—from 30 countries came to Bauma Conexpo India, which took place at HUDA Ground in Gurgaon near Delhi between 12th and 15th December, 2016.

The fourth international trade fair for construction machinery, building material machines, mining machines and construction vehicles, which occupied a total of 150,000 square meters of space, underscored the fact that there are signs of a turnaround in the Indian market for construction machinery.

Igor Palka, CEO of bC Expo India said, “Positive developments in the Indian market were noticeable at Bauma Conexpo India 2016. Exhibitors made some very good contacts and in some cases reported having sold machines directly at the fair. For us as the organiser, this feedback is more than gratifying and confirms that Bauma Conexpo India is perceived as an important platform by the market.”
