With MoRTH mandating AI- and machine-controlled construction on National Highways, what further innovations are planned by Dynapac to align with these directives?

The MoRTH directive mandating AI-and machine-controlled construction marks a pivotal shift in India’s highway development approach. Dynapac’s intelligent compaction and paving systems empower contractors to enhance precision, consistency, and sustainability.

Through real-time data analytics, contractors can optimize layer uniformity, minimize rework, and reduce fuel consumption, directly contributing to lower project costs and emissions. This early adoption reinforces the Dynapac–Fayat Group’s leadership in automation and smart construction.

We are now advancing our Dyn@Link and Dyn@Lyzer digital platforms with AI-based insights, cloud connectivity, and performance benchmarking, aligning with India’s evolving mechanization and digital transformation roadmap.

How is Dynapac leveraging local production, integrating international technologies, and expanding exports to stay competitive?

Dynapac’s Pune facility as a global production and R&D hub within the Fayat Group, integrates Indian engineering capabilities with global technologies, catering to both domestic and export markets.

Through deep localization, supplier development, and lean manufacturing practices, the company ensures quality, cost efficiency, and agility. Our products are engineered for India’s demanding conditions while meeting international standards, exported to regions across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
