4th Annual EPC Contracts & Project Management India Summit 2026

India's infrastructure and energy sectors are entering a transformative phase, driven by ambitious government investments, rapid urbanisation, digitalisation, and sustainability commitments. With the continued expansion of metro rail networks, expressways, airports, logistics parks, renewable energy, green hydrogen, transmission infrastructure, and industrial corridors, EPC projects are becoming larger, more complex, and increasingly capital intensive. This evolving landscape demands a new approach to contract management and project delivery - one that balances commercial viability, effective risk allocation, regulatory compliance, and timely execution.

The 4th Annual EPC Contracts & Project Management India Summit 2026 is a two-day leadership focused event that brings together project owners, developers, EPC contractors, consultants, legal experts, project management professionals, financiers, and technology providers to discuss the strategies shaping the future of EPC projects in India. The summit explores how organisations can strengthen contract administration, project governance, commercial management, risk mitigation, project controls, claims management, and dispute resolution while embracing AI-enabled project delivery, digital collaboration, ESG commitments, and sustainable infrastructure practices. Across two days, the summit will address the unique challenges and opportunities in Real Estate, Construction & Infrastructure and Oil & Gas, Energy & Utilities, with practical discussions on emerging EPC markets.
