India’s demolition and deconstruction sector is witnessing changes in equipment, engineering practices, safety requirements and material recovery methods. As redevelopment and infrastructure reconstruction projects expand, the need for planned demolition, controlled dismantling and efficient resource recovery is gaining attention across the construction industry.
Addressing these developments, the Indian Demolition Association (IDA) is organising DEMTECH INDIA 2026, a dedicated conference and exhibition focused on “Engineering the Future of Deconstruction” The conference will be held on September 16, 2026, at the India Expo Centre, Greater Noida, Delhi NCR. The conference is being organised by IDA in association with bauma CONEXPO INDIA.
Focus on Demolition Technology and Engineering
Modern demolition projects require consideration of structural conditions, dismantling sequences, equipment selection, site safety, project planning and material recovery. DEMTECH INDIA 2026 will bring these subjects together through technical presentations, keynote addresses, case studies, panel discussions and networking sessions.
Key conference topics include:
- 7+ expert speakers
- BIS codes, standards and regulations
- Technical presentations
- Keynote addresses by industry leaders
- Demolition and dismantling case studies
- Advanced diamond cutting and wire sawing
- Demolition safety and risk management
- Recycling and circular economy
- Panel discussions
- Networking sessions
The programme is relevant to professionals involved in building demolition, infrastructure redevelopment, industrial dismantling, structural modification, repair and reconstruction projects.
Senior Industry Leaders to Address the Conference
DEMTECH INDIA 2026 will feature senior professionals with experience in infrastructure, civil engineering and structural engineering.
M.P. Naidu, Technical Advisor, SYSTRA, has been announced as the Chief Guest. With more than five decades of experience in civil engineering and infrastructure projects, his professional background includes metro rail, airports, highways and bridges. He has also held senior positions associated with organisations including AECOM, L&T Metro Rail and Larsen & Toubro.
Er. Vinay Gupta, Managing Director, Tandon Consultants Pvt. Ltd. (TCPL) and President, IIBE, will be the Guest of Honour. He has more than four decades of experience in bridge and structural engineering, including bridge, metro and prestressed structure projects in India and overseas. His professional involvement also includes contributions to BIS and IRC codes and standards.
Their participation will bring engineering and infrastructure perspectives to discussions on demolition, dismantling and reconstruction.
Connecting Contractors, Engineers and Technology Providers
A key objective of DEMTECH INDIA 2026 is to bring together different participants involved in demolition and related construction activities. Demolition contractors can interact with equipment manufacturers and technology providers, while consultants, structural engineers and project professionals can discuss technical requirements and project challenges.
The event will also provide an opportunity for OEMs and equipment suppliers to showcase technologies used for demolition, dismantling, concrete cutting, drilling and related applications.
Safety and Standards in Demolition
Safety and engineering practices will form an important part of the conference agenda. Demolition work involves existing structures, changing load conditions, dismantling sequences and equipment operations, making project planning and risk assessment important considerations.
The conference will address:
- Demolition safety
- Risk management
- BIS standards and regulations
- Structural assessment
- Dismantling methods
- Equipment selection
- Project planning
- Controlled demolition techniques
These discussions can help professionals understand approaches to planning and managing demolition activities across different project environments.
Recycling and Circular Economy
Material recovery is another area receiving attention at DEMTECH INDIA 2026. Demolition can generate concrete, steel and other construction materials that can be segregated, processed, reused or recycled.
The conference will examine demolition in relation to the circular economy, including material recovery and resource utilisation. These practices are relevant to both waste management and reconstruction, particularly where recovered materials can contribute to improved resource utilisation.
