What are the biggest challenges you face in the Indian concrete equipment market, and how are you addressing these challenges?
The challenges are not only for the concrete equipment market but also for the construction equipment industry in general. India is a very price-sensitive market, though the opportunities are plenty there is intense competition amongst various manufacturers. This forces us to innovate and keep on researching new materials, and new products, improving manufacturing efficiencies, innovation, supply chain and logistics, etc. to be a key player in this business. The other challenges are some of the special materials we use are not manufactured in India, so we are forced to import them and the cost of that varies depending upon the exchange rate fluctuation.

What are your plans for future growth and expansion in the Indian concrete equipment market, and what steps are you taking to achieve these goals?
We want to be an active participant in the growing Indian concrete industry and to be amongst the top three dominant players. Within a short period of one and half years or so, we have more than 10 variants and capacities of batching plants and we will continue to keep on expanding this area. Localising and improvement of supply chain efficiency, improvement of aftersales service reports, investment in technology and focus on sustainability, digitalisation, and IOT are some of the other areas which we are working on.
