Avinash, Pavithra and Vaishnovi, Directors
Infra Engineers India Pvt Ltd (IEPL) is one of the major suppliers of used construction equipment in India.
Our more than a decade old company has been catering to customers in 50+ countries, and has recently started catering to the domestic supply needs since 2022.
Major global leading CE manufacturers have set up their manufacturing units in India and are exporting to the world markets. IEPL is closely associated with most of the OEMs for sourcing their used equipment through the Buy Back scheme, which is set to become a popular trend soon in India’s CE Industry.
First-time buyers of used equipment can invest less capital and expect better returns (RoI).
Appropriate capital allocation is a crucial part in planning and decision making. Post pandemic, every player is looking at more economical ways of doing business as it is concerned about the costs involved. Many first-time buyers – start-ups, sub-contractors, and hirers are looking forward to buy used equipment from an organized and experienced used-equipment supplier, as they can invest less capital and expect better returns (RoI).
Leading NBFC HDB financial services have recognized IEPL and have started funding our customers.
IEPL plays an important role in providing the most cost-effective, reliable, and easily available products with service back-up. It also helps buyers get finance for the used equipment. For the first time in India’s CE Industry, leading NBFC HDB financial services have recognized IEPL and have started funding customers for their machines, irrespective of their year of manufacturing.
We offer a multi-brand range of used equipment along with attachments to cater to all types of projects.
IEPL has expanded its range of OEM brands offering used machines, which includes Excavators, Wheel Loaders, Backhoe Loaders, Compactors, Bull Dozers, Pavers, Cranes, Dump Trucks, Motor Graders etc. We also offer attachments like Buckets, Quick Couplers, Grabbers, Augers etc, plus our in-house produced special and customized attachments like Slope Vibratory Compactor (patent from Japan), Long Reach, High bed / Elevated neck, Pad foot Roller etc under the brand name I-Prid.
We will be introducing the preowned CE showroom concept in India.
IEPL has a 250+ skilled technical workforce, a full-fledged workshop for overhauling, recon, and rebuild services. We implemented an all-women business development team at our head office a year ago, while the CE industry has recently started the women empowerment program.
We have entered the domestic market with our offerings and services and will be shortly opening our preowned CE showroom concept, which will be the first of its kind in the country.
IEPL will start a dealership-based franchise system in south India.
The first branch will open in Tamil Nadu in mid-2023. We will further extend the concept to 20 branches across south India. Each branch will display 10-25 units of various machines.
As demand for used construction equipment is on the rise, IEPL has projected and budgeted for 400+ skilled workforce and forecasted to increase sales exponentially by 750+ units in FY 2023-24 and has set a target of 1600+ units during FY 2024-25.
IEPL is building a Knowledge & Skill Development Centre for hands-on training.
Getting skilled technical manpower is a big challenge in this industry. To meet this demand, IEPL is building a state-of-the-art 30,000sq ft knowledge & Skill Development Centre at Gummidipoondi near Chennai. It will be attached to our rebuild workshop spread across 150,000sq ft area and is slated to be commissioned in 2024-25.
Our SDC will provide technical 85% hands-on training and 15% theoretical knowledge to the candidates, since, in the CE industry, technical and practical knowledge is more important than theoretical knowledge. We will have the capability to train 500 trainees in the first year and can go up to 1000.
