India has successfully secured the bid to host the prestigious International Congress on the Chemistry of Cement (ICCC) in 2027 in New Delhi. The bid, presented by India’s leading research and academic institutions, the National Council for Cement and Building Materials (NCCBM) along with IIT Delhi, was chosen over competing bids from Switzerland and the UAE.
The announcement was made during the ongoing 16th ICCC in Bangkok, Thailand. The ICCC is a significant event that reviews research progress in the field of cement and concrete, occurring every four to six years since 1918. Hosting the 17th ICCC in India offers a unique opportunity to bring together global leaders, experts, and innovators in the cement sector.
India’s cement industry, ranking second in the world with a capacity of 600 million tonnes, plays a crucial role in the country’s circular economy, utilizing industrial wastes and boasting one of the lowest CO2 footprints. New Delhi’s selection as the host city provides an excellent platform to showcase its vibrant culture, world-class conference facilities, and hospitality.
The National Council for Cement and Building Materials (NCCBM), an apex research and development organization under the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, has a proven track record in executing events of similar magnitude. India’s growing economy and expertise in addressing global issues such as decarbonization and sustainable development make it an ideal host for this influential congress.
The event will serve as a platform for discussions on energy security, alternative energy sources, low-carbon cement, and other critical topics, contributing to the progress of the global cement and concrete industry.
