Marking the first-ever focused initiative to promote Sri Lanka’s construction services in the Indian market, a sector-specific business delegation visited Mumbai from 25th-28th November 2025. This initiative was organized by Sri Lanka Export Development Board (EDB) in collaboration with the Sri Lanka Consulate General in Mumbai.

Ten leading Sri Lankan companies representing civil construction, engineering services, interior design, consultancy and property development participated in the programme. The participating companies were Synex Holdings (Pvt.) Ltd, Rhino Roofing Products Ltd, St. Anthony’s Interior Solutions (Pvt.) Ltd, SBA Consultant (Pvt.) Ltd, Colombo Consultants and Management Group, BMIS Company, Amoda Rathnayake Associates (Pvt.) Ltd, MOVA (Pvt.) Ltd, Good Gift Property Developers (Pvt.) Ltd, and K.R.S. Sankarans Engineers & Construction.

Beginning with a B2B networking session at the Sri Lanka Consulate General in Mumbai which alone attracted around 100 Indian companies, the delegation engaged in a series of high-level business meetings and networking sessions with leading Indian Industry institutions. These included India Chamber of International Business (ICIB), India Merchants’ Chamber (IMC), World Trade Center (WTC), Maharashtra Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture (MACCIA), Somaiya University, Godrej Enterprises Group and Studio SSJ. The delegation also visited Design Mumbai, an international contemporary design show, and attended the IGBC Green Building Congress & Exhibition 2025.

Approximately 350 engagements during the visit served as a platform to explore new business partnerships, joint ventures, subcontracting opportunities, new business contacts and access to green technologies and advanced design solutions, providing impetus to bilateral cooperation in the construction services sector. All participated companies have already secured business collaborations with Indian business partners. In response to their requests, the EDB looks forward to organise more structured business matchmaking sessions and promotional events to connect Sri Lankan service sector companies with global markets, including different regions of India and other potential markets.
