Oscar Fernandes, Minister of Road Transport and Highways, Government of India has showed his appreciation for the Excon 2013 show in Bangalore, stating that though the exhibition of Excon has been organised at a time when there is a downturn in the world and India’s economy, it is heartening to see that CII has been successful in bringing in people from all over the world in such great numbers to showcase India’s own achievements in developing such equipment for infrastructure growth.
Excon 2013, South Asia’s biggest exhibition of Construction Equipment (CE), organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), began on November 20, 2013 at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre.
Fernandes highlighted that time management is a very crucial factor in the efficient project implementation and all large infrastructure projects should have a project management system for speedy implementation. It is a very poor management if a project of 3-years takes 10 years to complete. Speedy management also makes a project economically viable and profitable, he said.
“At present, the Government has started work on several new infrastructure projects including three airports, two ports, an elevated rail-corridor in Mumbai, and almost 6,000 miles of new roads. We are also planning to build expressways through innovative financing models,” Fernandes said.
