Dynapac– Using Latest Technology

How do you look at the present market scenario of the Indian Construction Equipment Industry and its future growth in view of current focus on infrastructure development?
The present market scenario is very good and conducive for business. It is growing at the rate of 15%–20% per annum. The rate of growth in the construction equipment sector is expected to ontinue in next four to five years. The industry growth rate is directly linked to the economic growth of the developing country, which in turn is a factor for infrastructure growth. Major factors influencing the growth of the industry include the amount of road works, irrigation, and power projects including construction of dams, bank interest rates, the mining sector growth (coal, iron ore, etc)and the rural sector development. With the present emphasis on creating physical infrastructure, massive investment was planned during the 10th Plan.
For instance, Rs 1400 crore was provided for four-laning of Golden Quadrilateral project of National Highways Authority of India, the outlay for national highways development was increased to Rs. 9320 crore for 2005–06. With the Government of India’s sustained budgetary allocation and more funding by allocation and funding by international and multilateral development financial institutions for infrastructure development, it will indirectly result in increased demand for construction equipment.
