With more business transactions, high-quality trade visitors and more participants than in 2014, BAUMA CONEXPO India 2016, which took place at HUDA Ground in Gurgaon, Delhi, from December 12 to 15, 2016, underscored the turnaround in the Indian construction machinery market.
More than 31,000 participants and 647 exhibitors—of which 57% from MNCs —from 30 countries came to 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.
Igor Palka, CEO of bC Expo India, a joint venture of Messe München and the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) 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 organizer, this feedback is more than gratifying and confirms that BAUMA CONEXPO India is perceived as an important platform by the market.”
That was also reflected by exhibiting companies. Vipin Sondhi, Managing Director and CEO, JCB India, said he was “pleased to be participating in BAUMA CONEXPO India 2016. The exhibition was a good opportunity for us to showcase the latest in the earth-moving and construction equipment sector. We have had a very positive response from customers.”
Larson & Toubro reported a similarly encouraging experience. According to Arvind K Garg, Executive Vice President and Head-Construction and Mining Machinery Business, “BAUMA CONEXPO India was an ideal opportunity for us to launch Komatsu’s new products and showcase our product offerings, besides giving us an important platform for interacting with a large number of customers and other industry participants.”
