This increase in the sales of the construction equipment also obtained more significance considering that there was a sharp 58% drop in the sale of this equipment in the first quarter of FY22.

The data show that the total sales of the construction equipment stood at 21,323 units during the July-September quarter as against 14,522 units sold in the preceding quarter.

The growth was led by stimulated sales of earthmoving equipment, which surged by 51% and material handling equipment by 45%).
