HD Hyundai Expands Excavator Rebuild Services with New ARC in Durgapur
The Indian market is up-and-coming and shows stable growth potential, driven by favourable macroeconomics, supportive government policies, and significant infrastructure investments. The construction equipment market in India for FY2023-24 has surpassed 100,000 units per year, making it the third largest market globally. Specialized machines, such as excavators, account for approximately 30-32% of total construction equipment demand.
HD Hyundai has achieved a record of 47,000+ excavators sold from its India Smart factory since its inception in 2008. With a large population of existing excavators in India, HD Hyundai sees a very big opportunity to add value for customers by rebuilding their existing machines at competitive rates, thus making them save on Capex.

The company initiated its own ARC in 2021 at Chakan Pune which caters mainly to Western and some parts of the Central Region.
