- Jasmeet Singh, Head-Corporate Communications, JCB India Stand No.: Indoor area H1.C42 and Outdoor area 231 Second time at BAUMA CONEXPO INDIA Jasmeet Singh, Head-Corporate Communications, JCB India, shares the company’s expectations from and offerings at BAUMA CONEXPO INDIA 2016… How is the current market scenario influencing your offering at BAUMA CONEXPO INDIA this year? Any new launches planned? Since January 2016, the industry has seen a growth of close to 40-45 per cent as compared to previous year. So, it has been a busy year for manufacturers, including JCB. Growth has been evident in almost all segments – in physical infrastructure, backhoe loaders are on the rise; in large infrastructure projects, excavators; while Make in India and Swachh Bharat are contributing to material handling. That said, we will be introducing a variety of new products at BAUMA CONEXPO INDIA this year, along with showcasing our entire product line of backhoe loaders, excavators, wheel loaders, road equipment, gensets, engines, etc. Our plan is to essentially expand on both ends of the spectrum – introduce higher capacity machines as well as lighter and mini machines like the JCB 30Plus. In terms of generating business, what are your expectations from the event this year? Besides overall visibility, the underlined reason to be at an expo like BAUMA is to generate demand, if not essentially at the event, but certainly in the near future.”
