India’s construction industry is expected to grow at an annual average of 6.6 per cent rate between 2019 and 2028, by keeping the average growth rate of construction industry during previous year like 2.9 per cent in 2011-15, 5.6 per cent in 2016-2019, there will be great opportunities in various segments like concrete mixing plant, pug mill application, paver making machineries, batching plants, bar bending machineries, hoist and cranes where we can expand more with our star ranges of products.

In your view how the government policies can rejuvenate an ailing market for OEMs suppliers?
India still has a lot of scope for improvement in basic infrastructure facilities apart from the aspirational infrastructure development like smart cities and bullet train. We expect the government to come up with schemes on railways, roads, bridges and housing etc. The government must also see that circulation of money does not stop, there has to be some relaxation in taxes to promote sales of manufacturer of construction equipment and similarly relaxation for the users.

Recent announcement by the Government of India for domestic infrastructure and corridor development will certainly help this segment to grow.

What is your view on the future of the OEMs in India?
The Indian construction equipment market has been on a major upswing since 2015 with the sales of construction equipment growing by 24 per cent and in FY17-19 crossing the 90,000 unit sales. Our current government’s focus is on infrastructure development, Make in India to become one of the fastest infrastructure developing countries in the world. The budget allocations for FY 2019-20 indicated towards a continued growth momentum which focuses on roads, railways, aviation & waterways. At the moment the industry is experiencing a slow down but I am sure that it will bounce back very soon.
