The Bauma Conexpo 2023 experience was good; we had an indoor stall and hence did not have many quality walk-in customers as most of the product-specific customers were concentrated around the outdoor stall.

How is the market for asphalt plants evolving in terms of new technologies?

Asphalt market requirements are increasing due to many new road and infrastructure projects being announced by both the central and state governments, and hence there is a surge in the product requirement. However, new technologies in this sector are being introduced by many manufacturers, but any new technology comes with an additional cost that the market has yet to accept.

Can you tell us about your asphalt range and how it adheres to sustainable and environmental safety standards?

All our products pertaining to the asphalt range, viz., batch mix plants or continuous mixing asphalt plants, are manufactured as per the requisites of environmental safety aspects.

How do you assess the demand from the roads and highways sector?

Due to the announcement of major road projects across India by both the Central and respective State governments, there is a surge in the demand for all the related products for this sector. As there are many greenfield projects announced, the contractors have to procure all the equipment, thereby increasing the requirements.

How do green technologies and solutions play a key role in your line of asphalt plants?

Because asphalt plants are considered highly toxic and polluting to the atmosphere, which was given very little importance in the early part of this century, most contractors never gave it a thought and were focused only on producing the asphalt in the process. As a result, there was this drastic climate change that none of us is facing. Also, it is important to educate and ensure all the end users consume only the genuine raw materials required for producing asphalt products, which even now are not being adhered to. However, as a very climate- and green technology-conscious organisation, we have taken the utmost precautions and considered the best input products to manufacture our asphalt plants so as to ensure our products maintain the best environmental procedures and ensure green technology is maintained.

What is your outlook on the Indian asphalt plant market?

The Indian asphalt market is presently on an upswing, and market demand is increasing by the day. With most of the world’s leaders in manufacturing asphalt plants now entering the Indian market, it looks like the future of this product will be more focused on quality, productivity, and service.
