Mahindra rides into road equipment business on new G75 motor grader
With the launch of its G75 motor grader, Mahindra has heralded its entry into the road construction business. The launch coincided with an announcement of order bookings of 50 units of the motor grader, thereby making a quick mark in the highly competitive motor grader business dominated by established players.
Mahindra, which had launched its backhoe loaders 3 years back, is now widening its CE portfolio. According to the senior company officials, the new motor grader features wide distinction based on its close application orientation. This is in contrast to the standard motor graders offerings, involving higher initial owning and operating costs, made available by the foreign manufacturers for the Indian road construction sector, usually meant for laying wider national highways and expressways.
