India’s Mining and Construction Equipment (MCE) industry is on the cusp of a major transformation, driven by large-scale infrastructure development, a renewed thrust on domestic manufacturing, and a global shift towards sustainability, digitalisation, and resource security. As the country progresses towards becoming a USD 5 trillion economy, the MCE sector is emerging as a key enabler of productivity, efficiency, and global competitiveness.
Valued at over USD 18 billion and growing at a strong pace, the industry plays a critical role across mining, construction, power, transportation, logistics, and industrial development. Beyond its direct economic contribution, the sector is central to infrastructure creation, employment generation, technology adoption, and strengthening India’s manufacturing ecosystem.
The Summit is envisioned as a national platform to facilitate dialogue, enable collaboration, and align industry and policy perspectives to support the growth and global competitiveness of the MCE sector. It will focus on key themes including technology adoption, sustainability, manufacturing competitiveness, supply chain resilience, and the strategic role of critical minerals.
