BIG BOOM

Construction activity across the country is booming with multiple infrastructure projects underway, including metro and high-speed rails, expressways, and more This surge in development has resulted in a consequent rise in the demand for concrete and related equipment. Essential concrete equipment such as batching plants, transit mixers, concrete pumps, and concrete pavers are in high demand due to their pivotal roles in various stages of construction, such as mixing, transporting, pumping, and placing concrete at required sites.

Considering that the Indian government has unveiled an ambitious 25-year economic plan under Gati Shakti, aiming for economic growth and sustainable development, the strategy will be driven by seven sectors: railways, roadways, waterways, mass transportation and logistics infrastructure. A key component of the Gati Shakti Master Plan is the expansion of the national highway network by 25,000 km between 2022 and 2023. This transformative approach represents a long-term vision for the country's economic future.

MANAGING COMPLEXITY

Manufacturers of concrete equipment are innovating to create machines capable of managing complex infrastructure development projects more efficiently. They are investing in research and development to produce advanced products, including tailormade solutions. They are also developing comprehensive after-sales service packages to maintain customer trust and loyalty towards their brand. The initiatives aim to improve product performance and customer satisfaction.
