Has Budget 2019 met the construction sector expectations? Industry experts share their views.
For JCB India, continued focus on integrating digital technology in construction equipment was the focus at bauma this year.
The Foundation of Infrastructure Research Studies Training (FIRST) hosted the 5th EQUIPMENT INDIA Annual Awards at Hotel LALIT in New Delhi on Friday 16th February, 2018.
JCB India showcased its range of class leading, made-in-india road construction solutions at an event held at its state-of-the-art factory in Pune, which CW was a part of.
The importance of the infrastructure sector in the overall progress of the economy is critical. The government has given considerable impetus to this sector including in the last two budgets, where significant allocation to this sector was committed. Owing to this focus, the earthmoving and construction equipment industry witnessed a noteworthy revival last year.
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.
The UK’s Prime Minister Theresa May was given an insight into a transformation taking place at JCB India’s plants recently by 10 women engineers at New Delhi.
The demand for safe and reliable material handling equipment (MHE) is fast growing across a wide spectrum of applications in India. Telehandlers have recently made their way into the Indian market, and industries like agricultural logistics, construction, and process have shown excellent potential for this equipment.
