For twelve editions, the India Construction Festival has informed, educated, reformed and engaged everyone involved in building India's infrastructure — bringing together the industry's builders, financiers, policymakers and equipment leaders under one roof.
The organising force behind the festival, and publisher of Construction World, Equipment India, Indian Cement Review, Infrastructure Today and Indian Textile Journal — Construction World itself marks 30 years of publication in 2026.
An infrastructure think-tank — the "Foundation of Infrastructure Research Studies Training" — founded by Pratap Padode, presenting the festival and its sub-events since inception.
From its early years as a global gathering of design and engineering companies to today's C-suite platform, the festival has grown alongside India's infrastructure story.
Organised by FIRST Construction Council in association with New York-based Engineering News-Record (ENR), bringing global design and engineering companies to New Delhi.
Held 9–10 October at Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai — featuring the 14th RAHSTA Expo, 22nd Construction World Global Awards, and 12th Equipment India Awards, drawing 5,000+ visitors and CEOs from L&T, Afcons, Tata Projects and more.
Held 3–4 September at Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai, alongside the 23rd Construction World Global Awards and 13th Equipment India Awards.
Moving to Aurika, Mumbai International Airport on 15th October — headlined by the 24th Construction World Global Awards, 14th Equipment India Awards, and the new Infrastructure Today Conclave on leadership and industry re-rating.
Only C-level executives collect awards and engage with decision-makers, keeping the platform focused on high-level networking.
Contractors gain valuable access to potential clients and projects — networking that translates directly into business growth.
An association with Engineering News-Record (ENR) adds an international perspective to how India's builders are recognised.
More than an awards ceremony or a conference — the India Construction Festival is a celebration of the people and organisations shaping India's next chapter of infrastructure growth, held this year alongside Construction World's landmark 30th Annual Issue.
