3rd Annual EPC Risk Management India Summit 2025

EPC projects in India are at the centre of the country's ambitious infrastructure expansion across the infrastructure sectors. However, these projects face complex risks that span land acquisition challenges, regulatory approvals, financing gaps, contractual disputes, supply chain volatility, and cost escalations. The Indian EPC ecosystem is further shaped by geopolitical disruptions, inflation, commodity price fluctuations, and shifting policy frameworks, which demand robust, forward-looking risk management practices. In this evolving environment, effective contract structuring, digital adoption, and agile execution models are becoming critical to mitigating uncertainties and ensuring on-time, on-budget delivery. Dispute resolution methods such as arbitration, conciliation, and adjudication boards are also gaining importance as projects grow in size and complexity.

Hence this edition will be covering various segments such as transport infrastructure, real estate, oil & gas, energy & utilities and industrial projects, to understand how each segment is shaping around the EPC model.

The 3rd Annual EPC Risk Management India Summit 2025 is a two-day leadership focused event that brings together leaders from across the EPC value chain to address the evolving landscape of risks impacting infrastructure projects. The summit will provide cross-sectoral learning to help EPC stakeholders navigate uncertainty and embed smarter, future-ready risk frameworks emphasizing on global disruptions, financial volatility, and regulatory challenges reshaping project delivery, the summit will feature insights, case studies, and frameworks to strengthen resilience and ensure timely, cost-effective execution.
