India's cement and logistics sectors are preparing for major industry gatherings at Yashobhoomi, Dwarka. The 15th Cement Expo, co-located with the Indian Cement Review Conference and Awards, will focus on scaling cement production to 670 million tonnes by 2030 while reducing emissions. Over 100 exhibitors and 5,000 visitors, including top executives and policymakers, are expected. Simultaneously, the MultiLogistix Conference & Awards will explore India's logistics growth, digital supply chain innovations, and sustainability practices. Both events will showcase industry strategies, technologies, and collaborations to foster a low-carbon and efficient industrial ecosystem.
New Delhi is set to host two major industry events that could shape the future of India's cement and logistics sectors. The 15th Cement Expo will take place at Yashobhoomi, Dwarka, bringing together industry leaders to discuss ways to increase cement production from 445 million tonnes in 2024 to 670 million tonnes by 2030 while reducing carbon emissions. This comes as the global focus on climate action intensifies with COP 30 ongoing in Brazil.
The Expo will be held alongside the 11th Indian Cement Review (ICR) Conference and the 9th ICR Awards, organised by FIRST Construction Council and Indian Cement Review, India's oldest cement magazine celebrating its 40th year. The event is supported by government bodies including DPIIT, Ministry of Heavy Industries, CMA, BMTPC, GeM, and several state chambers and professional institutes.
With the theme 'Collaborating for Decarbonising the Cement Industry,' the Expo will gather manufacturers, policymakers, technology providers, logistics partners, and end-users. The government's 2025-26 budget has allocated INR 11.21 trillion for capital expenditure, marking a 10% increase from the previous year, which is expected to drive cement demand. Industry experts will discuss sustainability challenges, decarbonisation strategies, and the adoption of green technologies, energy efficiency, circular economy practices, and digital solutions.
Over 100 exhibitors and more than 5,000 business visitors are expected, including CXOs, plant heads, technology leaders, procurement heads, government officials, and major contractors. Leading cement companies like UltraTech, JSW Cement, Star Cement, JK Cement, JK Lakshmi Cement, Nuvoco Vistas, HeidelbergCement, Shree Digvijay Cement, and Sagar Cement will participate. Sponsors include PhillipCapital India, TIDC India, SS Gas Lab Asia, Flender Drives, Fuller Technologies, Nanolike, CG Power, TKIL Industries, Star Cement, Humboldt Wedag India, Loesche India, ATS Conveyors, HPCL, CEMENGAL, ROCKWOOL, Thermo Fisher Scientific India, and VE Commercial Vehicles. Exhibitors will showcase innovations ranging from machinery to sustainable production technologies.
In parallel, the MultiLogistix Conference & Awards 2025 will highlight India's growing logistics and supply chain sector, valued at USD 215 billion in 2021 and expected to reach USD 591 billion by FY27. The event will cover ports, rail, road, air cargo, warehousing, cold chains, EV logistics, and digital supply chain technologies. Over 25 speakers and 10 industry awards will bring together stakeholders to discuss infrastructure, policy, and professional excellence.
