How do you view the Bharat Mobility exhibition?

Bharat Mobility is a good initiative by the Government of India, creating a prime opportunity to showcase new technologies and products to key stakeholders. This event will be instrumental in driving industry growth, and we’re grateful to Govt Of India, CII and the industry for their support.

Can you highlight on the latest product displayed at the Bharat Construction Equipment Expo?

We’re excited to introduce our new 15-tonne soil compactor, a game-changer for greenfield projects. This machine addresses the unmet need for higher compaction capacity, exceeding the performance of current 10 and 11-tonne models. Contractors will benefit from a 30-35% fuel savings thanks to the Cummins engine and a 30-35% time savings due to fewer passes required for optimal compaction. We’re targeting this machine for major highway and airport projects.

From a government perspective, how do you look at the new initiatives for mobility, improving and developing the infrastructure for transportation?

Infrastructure development is progressing well. While the past six to seven months presented some execution and new allotment challenges, we’re now seeing improvements. With these initiatives and the current budget, I’m confident we’ll see increased momentum in project execution and construction activities. 

What are your plans on commercializing this machine, like producing in large numbers? How will the demand look like?

We’ve commenced production of this machine and have secured initial orders. While commercial sales are yet to begin, we’re strategically targeting key markets across India before the official launch.

How do you look at the year ahead? What are your specific plans for the year?

We’re committed to working with stakeholders to promote increased road infrastructure development and faster project execution, which are essential for industry progress. We anticipate further project announcements and streamlined processes. In parallel, we’re enhancing our roller product line with new technologies, including fleet management and intelligent compaction.
