Caterpillar marks a century of engineering excellence and global progress

As Caterpillar celebrates its 100th anniversary worldwide, its India team commemorates more than 50 years of driving infrastructure, innovation, and growth through iconic projects and a commitment to sustainability and workforce development.

As Caterpillar Inc., the world’s leading manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, off-highway diesel and natural gas engines, industrial gas turbines and diesel-electric locomotives, commemorates its historic 100th anniversary, the Caterpillar team in India takes great pride in its contribution to this legacy. With over 50 years of operations in India, Caterpillar has made important contributions to infrastructural development and industrial success.

Caterpillar’s customer-centric innovation and industry-leading transformation have shaped the contemporary world, including India, for a century. From the Bhakra Nangal Dam to the Atal Tunnel and the Purvanchal Motorway, Caterpillar’s equipment has played an important role in the country’s infrastructure development since the 1930s.

“At Caterpillar, innovation and customer-centricity have always been the cornerstones of our success. As we celebrate 100 years globally and over 50 years in India, we recognise that our people are the driving force behind our achievements,” says Bhuvan Anandakrishnan, India Country Manager and Vice President, Integrated Component Solutions Engineering Division, Caterpillar. “Their dedication has not only met India’s evolving needs but has also set new benchmarks on a global scale. We remain committed to building a more sustainable, efficient, and technologically advanced future—together, we are shaping the next century of progress.”

As India’s position as a major global manufacturer grows, Caterpillar remains fully dedicated to helping the country’s industrial and infrastructure goals. With cutting-edge technology and a highly skilled workforce, Caterpillar is an important component of India’s growth story.

As part of the celebration, Caterpillar Inc. donated $100 million over the next five years to help prepare the future workforce with the necessary skills, utilising technology to fulfil global market demands as the world faces a rapid digital transition.
