One pathbreaking offering: Nobody in the market offers HVAC and cabin on file compactor.

They are healthy and safer for the operator.

Demand drivers in 2019: We are the market leader in road construction equipment. I think roads is going to remain a priority sector for the government. The government aspires to go to 50 km a day in a year or two, which is a good omen for road construction equipment.

Announcement contributing to the company’s growth in 2018: We invested in our manufacturing plant to augment capacity, which helped us ride the tide, thus helping us meet demand.

Challenge for the company in 2019: The challenge at the moment could be uncertainty of the elections, leading back to the days of policy paralysis and slow decision-making, which can affect the general business and industry.
Key strategy to success in 2019: All products we make are always intended to achieve the success of customers and offer great attention to detail.

Recommendation for growth of the construction equipment market: I think better clarity on policy decisions (emission norms, fuel availability) is much needed.
