The 9th India Construction Festival (ICF), hosted by FIRST Construction Council in partnership with CW, brought together top industry heads in Delhi. Panel discussions during the event were a key highlight and from this month onwards, CW will feature one panel discussion in every edition.    Let鈥檚 put the first panel discussion, 鈥楽haping Regulations for Safe and Sustainable Roads鈥�, in perspective.
