Organized by Foundation of Infrastructure Research Studies Training in association with AM Events, a division of ASAPP Media – publishers of Infrastructure Today, this international conference is intended at road operators, products & service providers, policy makers at all state transport & development boards, financial institutions, infrastructure development & consulting organizations, construction companies and contractors, risk & safety managers, tunnel & bridge authorities, cement and concrete industry professionals, iron and steel industry professionals, material providers etc.

Besides the projects under the NHAI, the Government also earmarks funds for constructing roads, undertaken by various state government agencies and municipal corporations including "innovative funding" schemes in the Budget for boosting country's road infrastructure development. Financing for the maintenance and reconstruction of roads is growing every year. Roads are the pivotal part of the “Urban Transport Development” in India and therefore this international conference has taken upon itself the mantle of addressing all issues relating to policies and regulations, decisions, competent operators, use of technologies and best management practices such that a balance between the increasing transport demand and the corresponding impact on the environment is facilitated.
