India's planning commission has projected an investment of US$ 1 trillion for

the infrastructure sector during the 12th Five Year Plan, with 40 per cent of

the funds coming from the private sector. It is one of the major sectors that

propel overall development of the Indian economy. Unlike other developed

countries, India's geographical position poses some challenges in huge

infrastructural development like building of roads, flyovers, airports, damns &

bridges, etc. In the modern infrastructural methods, precast technology is the

most safer and durable option for building technology than some of the

traditional methods. Pioneering use of precast technology can change the face

of Indian economy by speeding up the course of action across varied proposed

infrastructure projects. Expansions of Metro and Mono railway routes across

various Tier I cities in India is one such example of implementation of the

same.

Recognizing Concrete Show India 2014 as a trade opportunity for domestic &

international companies to realize the huge untapped potential that the

construction industry presents in India, the event will witness participation

from countries like China, Germany, Greece, India, Italy, Korea, Singapore,

South Africa, Taiwan, UK and USA. The event has participation from some leading

companies that include Adeka, Apollo Infratech Pvt. Ltd. ACE Associates, Atlas

Copco, Conmat, Godrej & Boyce, Toyota Forms India Pvt. Ltd, Ultratech Cement

Ltd, and more amongst other Industry players. UBM India's focus for Concrete

India 2014 is also to bring to the forefront for discussion, the challenges

faced by the industry. The first day of the event will be marked by a

conference, based on the theme of 'Infrastructure & Sustainability: A Fresh

Approach'. Global Challenges for Sustainable Infrastructure in Metropolitan

Cities, Infrastructure Transportation projects - Perspective from MMRDA:

Present and Future, Nano-Technology with Ceramic Coating to aid sustainability

Joji George, Managing Director, UBM India says, "In the coming decade, concrete
