NHAI Chairman to unveil India's Fastest Growing Construction Companies and Equipment Bestsellers
It is true that the impact of COVID-19 impact on India Inc in FY2020 was only for a few days � the last two weeks of March. But many would agree that the Indian economy was already in trouble and COVID-19 only exposed the fault lines.
Nevertheless, despite all the obstacles, uncertainties and challenges, a few entities managed to persevere and prevail, posting growth and exhibiting excellence, keeping their growth intact. And these are the companies, from the universe of construction, contracting, engineering, building materials and construction equipment that theÌýFoundation of Infrastructure Research Studies Training (FIRST)Ìýhonoursâ€� many of whom will be awarded for their outstanding work at theÌý6thINDIAÌýCONSTRUCTION FESTIVAL2020.
Organised byÌýFIRST Construction Council andÌýConstruction WorldÌýmagazine, theÌýINDIA CONSTRUCTION FESTIVALÌýhas seen participation of the entire Indian construction industry. The Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi has lauded this platform for its ability and intention of showcasing the best and encouraging the industry by setting standards of excellence.

Dr Sukhbir Sandhu, Chairman, National Highways Authority of India (NHAI),Ìýwill be the Chief Guest at the INDIA CONSTRUCTION FESTIVAL to be held on October 15-16.
Once again, the Festival has the partnership of New York-based Engineering News-Record magazine, popularly known as ENR � the world’s oldest and largest circulated engineering magazine � to honour and felicitate not only India’s fastest growing construction companies, India’s Top Challengers and India’s Bestselling Equipment Companies but also felicitating Global Leading Design and Engineering Firms.
Last year, theÌýINDIA CONSTRUCTION FESTIVALÌýwas a celebration of victory! More than 60 awards and honours were conferred upon leading Construction Companies, Global Design and Engineering Firms and Building Materials and Equipment Companies (See box for Winners of 2019).
And, this year too, we will bestow a similar number of awards on deserving companies.
While the assessment criterion for theÌýEQUIPMENT INDIA AwardsÌýis based on sales; theÌýCONSTRUCTION WORLD Global AwardsÌýfollows a statistical model developed by FCC to analyse and present India's Fastest Growing Construction Companies. The model uses financial data of the last six year, and companies are categorised under 'Large Category' if the turnover for the current year is greater than Rs75billion, under 'Medium Category' if the turnover is over Rs20billion but under Rs75 billion, and under 'Small Category' if the turnover is under Rs20billion, but over Rs 2 billion. The analysis for both awards is then presented to an eminent jury (independent jury panels for both award categories) to finalise the set of winners from among the shortlisted companies. These are India's first and most prestigious awards recognising the contribution of the construction industry. These are the only set of awards that rank companies based on their financials and profitability.
Further, handpicked by the jury for outstanding contribution to their industry,ÌýCONSTRUCTION WORLD Global AwardsÌýwill once again recognise the ‘CONSTRUCTION WORLD Person of the Year 2020â€� in the Public Sector as well as the Private Sector. Further, at the two-day event, the EQUIPMENT INDIA Awards will also recognise the ‘EQUIPMENT INDIA Person of the Year 2020â€� title!
FIRST has also created another model for the "Top Challengers" Awards where companies including infrastructure developers, building materials and construction equipment are also considered and selected on the basis of their ability to grow over the previous year despite challenging circumstances. These companies too will be recognised at theÌýCONSTRUCTION WORLD Global Awards.
This year, the esteemed Jury Advisory Panel for theÌý18th CONSTRUCTION WORLD GLOBAL AWARDSÌývirtually met on 17th September, members of which included:
