Roof and cladding India 2008

Asia's largest event for roofing, cladding and allied products will be held from April 25 - 27, 2008 at Chennai.

India is today the 2nd fastest growing major economy in the world. A booming economy and the ever-growing middle class has kick started all industry sectors including the construction and infrastructure industry. The airport modernisation / new airports projects, 2010 commonwealth games, metro rail, new hotels / serviced apartments / resort projects, IT parks, SEZs, industrial city / parks, retail malls, hypermarkets/ multiplexes, integrated townships, etc are the buzzwords today in the booming Indian construction and Infrastructure industry. The economy of India is the 4th largest in the world as measured by purchasing power parity (PPP), with a GDP of US$ 3.63 trillion. India's US$ 12 billion real estate market is expanding at an annual rate of 30 percent. Analysts at Merrill Lynch predict that the real estate market will grow to US$ 90 billion in 10 years. The 2010 commonwealth games will be held in New Delhi which will fuel the need for major infrastructure projects, stadiums, real estate projects, etc in the national capital region (NCR). Greenfield airports and ports will attract the need for specialised structures like pre-engineered buildings (PEBs), hangars, large factory sheds, etc. The construction of metro rail networks in Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad are to commence shortly. Such metro rail networks are also being planned for cities like Chennai, Kochi and Kolkata. With a booming domestic / international tourist traffic in India, the growing demand for hotel rooms has led to the announcement of many hotel / resort projects not only in metro cities but also in II-tier and III-tier cities. The IT / ITES and BPO boom has changed the horizon of many Indian cities and towns with mega multistoried IT / software parks and integrated townships. SEZs, biotech parks, industrial cities / areas, agro parks, gem & jewellery parks, apparel parks and other such specialised commercial and industrial spaces are also being launched/promoted by big business houses and real estate promoters. The new found prosperity has changed the way Indians spend, with the result that malls, multiplexes and hypermarkets are mushrooming all over the country to cater to the consumerist trend in Indian lifestyle.

'Roof and cladding India 2008' will provide an ideal platform for companies involved in roofing and allied products to be part of India's booming construction and infrastructure industry and showcase the latest trends in roofing, cladding and allied technologies. The 3-day international exhibition would have 120+ exhibitors from all over India and abroad and there is also 2-day concurrent conference featuring industry experts.

The conference will provide an opportunity for the participants / delegates to deliberate on issues / trends related to the roofing, cladding, PEBs, façade engineering, roofing insulation, tensile membranes, waterproofing and allied products.
