Reinforcing its commitment to innovation and growth, Doosan Bobcat India inaugurates a state-of-the-art manufacturing factory expansion at Gummidipundi.

Doosan Bobcat, a pioneer and industry leader in Compact Construction Equipment, announces the completion of an 11,300-square-meter compact excavator production facility on the current Chennai plant site following nine months of construction. The small excavators are planned to begin full-scale production in 2025, following the installation and stabilisation of the production line. Doosan Bobcat India’s production portfolio now comprises mini excavators, in addition to backhoe loaders and skid-steer loaders, following the completion of this facility.

Since last year, the Chennai company has increased its export production, with an emphasis on the S70 Skid-steer Loader and Backhoe Loaders. Over the last five years, the Indian unit has had strong growth, with an average annual growth rate of 22 percent. Doosan Bobcat’s Indian business expects to sell 8,900 units per year by 2028, including Bobcat Portable Power equipment made at its Bengaluru plant.

The inauguration brought together Doosan Bobcat’s global leadership team to witness the opening of the new facility. Doosan Bobcat India’s enlarged floor space and enhanced gear will help it fulfil the ever-increasing demand for its equipment by improving production efficiency, quality control, and product innovation. The new facility is designed with sustainability in mind, using eco-friendly practices and technologies to reduce environmental impact and carbon footprint. This expansion project would offer several job possibilities for skilled people in the local community, thereby promoting economic growth and prosperity.
