The launch ceremony was led by Bernd Holz, Executive Vice President, ABG General Management, and Mr Dheeraj Panda, Managing Director, Ammann India, alongside senior leadership. The new paver is tailored for both Indian and international markets, aligning with evolving demands driven by initiatives like Bharatmala and PM Gati Shakti.

The setup enhances spare parts availability, optimises material flow, and strengthens aftermarket support.

Commenting on the developments, Dheeraj Panda said, “The roll-out of the first ABG Paver from Ditasan and the commissioning of a dedicated warehouse are strong testaments to our commitment to localisation, operational excellence, and customer service. These milestones will play a pivotal role in accelerating our ABG growth journey in India while boosting our capabilities as a global manufacturing and export hub.”
