Projects such as Bharatmala, construction of expressways and highways have given a boost to the roads sector. Water transportation is another area that will bring in large demand for equipment and investment. Metro construction projects are also increasing. All this means that there are good days ahead. We will see tremendous progress in the next five to ten years. Talking about new trends in construction or infrastructure equipment, we have progressed a lot. We now have truck suspension, and with these, safety, stability, feasibility, everything has improved. So, there is an evolution in infrastructure equipment.</p> <p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Technological innovations:</span> Excon is a platform to talk to the right kind of customers who are looking for the technology. We have had a range of machines in the past five to seven years. However, in the last two to three years, we have been growing the technology.
