At the Demcon trade show held at the Inframässan on the 24 and 25 November this year, India's industry association for demolition, remediation and concrete cutting exhibited. The industry association is called IDA, Indian demolition Association, and was formed in 2019. At its last annual meeting in 2019 a one day conference and the Demtech trade show were also arranged. The trade show proved highly popular and saw over 500 delegates attend. Furthermore, around 30 manufacturers from all over the world exhibited. Due to the pandemic, which hit India hard, it has not been possible to arrange a follow up, but now the IDA has now arranged the next IDA convention and Demtech show on the 28 and 29 September 2023 in Bengaluru (Bangalore), India.

Naturally, all relevant global manufacturers are also welcome to participate.
