Mr. Jerry Andersson, M.D.
We see demand for advanced products that are high in both capacity and capability
We see the market for construction and construction equipment to be booming at the moment due to the government impetus to infrastructure, power plants etc. This has also resulted in a corresponding boom in underground and surface heavy civil engineering projects. Connectivity to border areas for mobilisation of resources and construction of caverns for storage of crude oil and defence purpose will boost demand for our products. The diversion of rivers for lift irrigation purposes will require construction of underground tunnels as well as surface structures, which will serve as a growth driver for our company.
There is immense potential in underground metal mining, surface construction, and civil engineering segments. It gels very well with our future plans, where we see a lot of demand for advanced products that are high in both capacity and capability. Our target markets are surface excavation, road and rail tunnels, hydropower, surface excavation, and civil engineering.
Authorities need to factor advanced equipment into tender documents
Trade fairs like Excon are touchpoints for us to engage with customers
Excon is the biggest trade fair for construction equipment & technology in India. Trade fairs like Excon, are basically touch points for us to engage with our existing customers and potential clients in a common forum. We also get an opportunity to connect with industry partners, various equipment manufacturers, trade associations, policy regulators, as well as our competitors. Government and private industries have robust plans for the construction and civil engineering segments, which will contribute to our growth in a big way.
We have been participating in Excon for the past 10 years and have been the principal sponsor for eight years. We are expecting more footfalls this year. In the current scenario, the market is showing signs of growth, and our aim is to be ‘First in Mind, First in Choice’ of our stakeholders in the B2B and B2C segments.
