Pravin Murhe, Director, Siddheshwar Transport started the transport business in 2002 with a Tata Tipper 1613 in the stone crusher transportation and earth mover’s segment. With immediate success and growing work, he ventured into sand transportation in 2007 and then followed up with earth moving work by investing in JCB backhoe loaders. Living in Kuruli, Pune, Murhe had a great knack of developing business in and around the region. He explains: “Although I started my business with the movement of sand, overburdened from the work in stone-crushing and earth-moving segment I was always inclined to grow the transportation business given the corporates setting up shops in and around Pune. As soon as I got the lead for a proper transportation business, I embarked upon it.”

“In 2011, under the name of Siddheshwar Transport, I started transportation work of wheel rims for Kalyani Maxion,” he adds. Today, Siddheshwar Transport works for reputed clients like Kubota Tractor, New Holland Agri Equipment, Magnetic Marelli, PPG Asian Paint, Meritor Ltd. and Instor India, among others, deploying a total of nine rigid trucks between 9 to 26 tonnes, and around 22 flat-bed trailers. “We carry coils and various other over-dimensional cargo (ODC) from Pune to Mumbai, Bangalore and Chennai for many of our clients. All our vehicles are equipped with technologies like GPS system, fuel monitoring and telematics. We also have manual methods to verify trips and vehicle data every month. The vehicles get monitored from beginning (loading to unloading) to the end. We analyse vehicle performance and driver behaviour on transit in order to conduct timely delivery,” reveals Murhe.
