Whatis your outlook for the construction equipment sector in the country?

The long term potential for theconstruction equipment industry is very bright. Therefore, revival is a keyfactor. India has got a lot to do on rural road connectivity and improvement ofroad quality in the rural area.

Across India, various states have differentlevels of road development, and if India has to have similar type of roadconnectivity across the country, it gives us a great opportunity for ruralroads and national highways through various projects announced, such as Bharatmala,Sagarmala, coastal roads, horizontal andvertical national highway corridors crisscrossing the country, etc.

 

Whatare the trends that are continuing to drive the sales of ConstructionEquipment?

Equipment customization, sustainable greenconstruction, a safe work environment through mechanisation, automation andIoT, fuel efficiency, operator training, varied applications and multiple useequipment are few of the trends that drive the construction equipment sales.

 

What,in your opinion, have been the stress points due to which CE performance hasbeen impacted, if at all?

Once we have issues sorted out, likeprogress of projects, payments, NBFC funding for equipment purchase and overallimprovement of sentiment on infrastructure industry, we expect our business tobecome normal like the previous years. Skilling operators is a keydifferentiator for growth of CE.
