The campaign also unveils buno, the show’s new mascot, alongside the powerful new anthem, ‘India is Building. India is Moving.’
A marketplace shaped by project requirements
As of August 2026, India’s construction equipment industry is entering a decisive growth phase. The Union Budget 2026–27 has raised public capital expenditure to a record ₹12.2 lakh crore, around 9% higher than the previous Budget Estimate, while introducing a dedicated scheme to strengthen domestic manufacturing of advanced construction and infrastructure equipment. This investment is expected to accelerate activity across highways, railways, metros, airports, logistics corridors, mining and urban infrastructure. This scale of opportunity is also raising the standard for every equipment investment.
“India’s infrastructure ambitions demand equipment that performs decisively in the field, not merely on paper. Buyers are looking beyond specifications to measurable productivity, uptime, operating economics and the strength of the support network behind every machine. bauma CONEXPO INDIA brings the full equipment ecosystem together, enabling informed investment decisions and turning market demand into concrete business opportunities,” said Bhupinder Singh, President IMEA, Messe München, and CEO, Messe Muenchen India.
Against this backdrop, bauma CONEXPO INDIA 2026 brings the complete construction equipment ecosystem together at a critical point in the industry’s growth. The platform connects equipment manufacturers, component and attachment suppliers, technology providers, engine and power-system companies, tyre manufacturers, financing partners and after-sales specialists with the buyers responsible for fleet and project investments.
With thousands of products and technologies across earthmoving, road construction, concrete, lifting, mining, material processing and supporting systems, the show enables buyers to compare competing solutions in one place. They can examine machines first-hand, assess application suitability, discuss productivity and operating costs, explore financing options, and evaluate service networks and spare-parts support before committing capital.
“For contractors, equipment is a project-critical asset. The right machine can accelerate delivery, protect margins and raise execution standards, while the wrong choice can create costly delays. bauma CONEXPO INDIA gives buyers a direct platform to test options, challenge suppliers and secure the machines, financing and lifecycle support required to deliver with confidence,” said Shri Ravindra Tyagi, National President, Builders’ Association of India (BAI)

In addition, confirmed buyer delegations will attend from Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Jammu & Kashmir, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan and more. This national participation gives exhibitors access to demand from established equipment centres as well as regions witnessing new project activity, fleet expansion and replacement requirements.
The Buyer–Seller Forum will support focused one-to-one meetings between suppliers and procurement, sourcing, technical, project and asset-management teams. Buyers can identify relevant exhibitors in advance, while suppliers gain clearer insight into regional and project-specific requirements.
International participation expands sourcing options
International pavilions from Germany, China, Taiwan and Italy, alongside exhibitors from across the world, will bring a powerful showcase of global innovation to Indian buyers. Visitors can discover advanced machinery, components and technologies, compare solutions for local applications and operating conditions, and engage directly with international experts on performance, reliability and service support.
For Indian OEMs and component manufacturers, the international presence opens the door to new sourcing opportunities, localisation partnerships, technology transfer, joint manufacturing ventures and access to global markets. It is a high-value platform for building connections that can strengthen India’s equipment ecosystem and accelerate the next generation of construction and mining solutions.
