The first bC India — a Bauma ConExpo show — has been scheduled for Feb. 8-11, 2011 at the Bandra-Kurla Complex in Mumbai, with about 50,000 square meters of exhibition space available. Exhibitor registration will open next month. A joint venture company, bC Expo India Private Ltd., will lead the project.

Earlier this year, Messe Munchen GmbH, which organizes the Bauma trade show, the world’s largest construction equipment trade fair every three years in Munich, and Association of Equipment Manufacturers, which organizes ConExpo in the United States every three years, announced an agreement on closer cooperation and organizing international construction machinery trade shows, with bC India representing the first joint project.

Show organizers said they are working with allied industry organizations to advance worldwide cooperation for bC India and that leading manufacturers are already expressing interest in participating. More information is available at www.bCIndia.com.
