There is now less than three months to IDA and Demtech 2023, India’s 2nd international demolition, recycling and remediation conference, which will be held on 28 and 29 September 2023.

Not too long ago in 2019, IDA (Indian Demolition Association), spearheaded by Mr. Mohan Ramanathan, organised India’s first ever demolition, recycling and remediation conference in India. This was in tandem with the formation and inauguration of IDA. Considering the size and scope of the Indian economy and its booming construction industry, the intent was to conduct a bi-annual conference. As we all know, Covid19 put the brakes on those grand plans. Now with Covid19 in retreat, the industry is roaring to move ahead. Against this background, IDA is keeping pace with this expected surge.

Demtech India 2019 was backed by some major industry players, with the conference being supported by Volvo India as its headline sponsor. This time around too, Volvo India has decided to lend its might as the headline sponsor. Epiroc, Hilti, Brokk, Aquajet Systems and Sennebogen are supporting as associate sponsors. Husqvarna, Edifice, Pentruder, Shearcore, Kemroc, Kobelco and Tyrolit are affiliate sponsors. Others present at Demtech 2019 were Trevi Benne, Rotar International, Demarec, Schwing Stetter, Hydrotec, Philtec E & C, Sdt Sanwa diamond tools, Indo-Spark, Terex and Wirtgen Group. Such massive sponsor support and a high turnout of Indian participants, backed by attendees from 17 different countries, was the perfect potpourri for a path breaking and resounding success.

Demtech 23 presents promising business networking opportunities for industry aficionados who desire to get a foothold into the Indian market. Considering the Indian economy is on an upward trajectory and backed by key government policies that are encouraging and sustainable, the time is ripe to take action.

According to a recent report, the construction industry in India is expected to reach €1.28T by 2025 with cities driving growth, with the urban population set to contribute 75% of GDP (63% present), with 68 cities having a population of more than 1M. The construction industry market in India works across 250 sub-sectors with linkages across sectors (source: investindia.gov.in).

In a March 2022, in an article in PDi magazine, Mr. Mohan Ramanathan discussed the plans for the Indian demolition industry, commenting: “It actually looks very bright and with IDA we have something very good going. There are tons of infrastructural projects in the loop thanks to the governmental spending on infrastructure in the country. There are also a number of modernisation projects on production plants that also will generate a lot of jobs.” He added that in terms of contractors working in demolition and advanced concrete cutting, the numbers have not changed that much during the last two years. According to Ramanathan, there are around 10 really big demolition contractors and maybe 200 medium to large contractors as well as 500 or so smaller companies spread across the country.

 

The Calling

In India, the construction industry is growing and growing rapidly. With an increasing population, higher income levels and aging buildings the demand for new housing, office space and infrastructure are sky rocketing. However, the demolition, recycling and remediation industry is not sufficiently geared to handle the burgeoning market in a professional manner. This creates a promising path for new players to make inroads and existing ones to grab a bigger share of the market. Demtech India 2023 provides that platform - to meet, network and move ahead.
