Construction World Global Awards 2025

CONSTRUCTION WORLD GLOBAL AWARDS 2025

Celebrating Excellence in Construction, Infrastructure & Engineering

Widely regarded as the Oscars of the Construction Industry, the CONSTRUCTION WORLD GLOBAL AWARDS (CWGA) has, for over two decades, been a prestigious platform that celebrates excellence and honors the visionaries shaping India's built environment. Now in its 23rd edition, CWGA continues to spotlight innovation, leadership, and performance across construction, infrastructure, equipment, and material manufacturing sectors. The 2025 edition will be held on 3rd September in Mumbai, India.

This flagship event is the culmination of a rigorous and transparent evaluation process that ranks India’s fastest growing companies in the construction ecosystem. Each shortlisted company is assessed across a host of parameters—growth, innovation, sustainability practices, and market impact—culminating in an event that not only celebrates but inspires.

An Event That Brings the Industry’s Pinnacle Together Every year, CWGA draws over 500 of the industry’s top leaders, making it a high-level networking and recognition platform. Attendees include:

Business owners and promoters of leading firms
Chairmen, Managing Directors, and CEOs of construction giants
Directors and marketing heads of infrastructure, equipment, and material companies
Government stakeholders and key decision-makers

The event serves as a unique opportunity for interaction, collaboration, and insight-sharing among India’s foremost construction and infrastructure minds.

A Global Benchmark Through ENR Collaboration

A significant feature of CWGA is its association with Engineering News-Record (ENR), the globally respected authority on construction rankings. ENR’s presence lends an added layer of credibility and international perspective to the awards.

ENR is known for its annual rankings of the Top 225 International Design Firms and the Top 250 International Contractors. These rankings are based on direct revenue reporting by firms across the world, with data verified and certified at the highest levels of leadership—by CEOs or CFOs. ENR’s research is widely referenced by project owners globally as a reliable benchmark for performance and reputation in the industry.

CWGA’s integration with ENR reinforces its stature as a platform of global relevance.

Join us at the 23nd edition of the Construction World Global Awards—where India’s best in construction meet, connect, and get recognized.
