As per the India Brand Equity Foundation, the construction market is expected to reach $1.42 trillion by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 17.26 per cent during the 2022-2027 forecast period. This rapid growth is supported by new-generation tools and equipment that enable higher productivity at a lower operational cost. Air compressors, both stationary and portable, play a crucial role in the infrastructure sector, providing compressed air for pneumatic applications. These air compressors are essential in the construction, maintenance, and repair work at infrastructure project sites.

This growth in the infrastructure sector is anticipated to boost the need for portable air compressors, presenting an attractive opportunity for air compressor brands such as ELGi to be part of the growth story. Electric and diesel-powered screw air compressors have become indispensable tools in the construction and infrastructure industry, providing a reliable compressed air source for various applications. Electric screw air compressors are the preferred choice of project managers for construction sites that have a reliable electrical supply.

Electric portable air compressors offer benefits such as higher energy efficiency, lesser operational expenses, and lower environmental footprint. Additionally, electric compressors produce less noise, making them ideal for noise-sensitive construction sites. Their compact and portable design enables easy transportation and maneuverability at construction sites. Simultaneously, their ability to power various pneumatic makes them essential for construction tasks that require compressed air.

At construction locations where a consistent electrical power source might be missing, or mobility is essential, diesel-driven screw air compressors come into play. These compressors are typically mounted on trailers or skids, facilitating effortless transportation between construction sites. Designed to endure harsh dusty settings and rigorous construction tasks, diesel air compressors perform exceptionally well in challenging environments at infrastructure project sites. They provide enhanced versatility by functioning in remote or off-grid areas with no electrical power supply. Diesel compressors often provide higher airflow and pressure capabilities, making them suitable for challenging construction tasks that require substantial compressed air output.

Here are some critical uses of air compressors in the infrastructure sector:

Air compressors are engineered for various capacity requirements and end-use, including stationary and portable models. The choice of compressor depends on the specific requirements of the infrastructure project. They are versatile tools that enhance efficiency, safety, and productivity in constructing and maintaining infrastructure.
