The CE business with Shriram Automall is witnessing a year-on-year increase in this business segment with excavators, loaders and backhoe being the largest in demand under the segment. Due to the economic slowdown, most construction business owners now prefer to search for used construction equipment instead of going for a new one that have a major difference in price. Built on the bedrock of trust and transparency, the pre-owned construction equipment segment of SAMIL is riding on a positive growth track. Construction equipment does not only make it easier to complete the project, but also ensures the efficient use of labour, time and money. SAMIL caters to the every need with a wide variety, including hydraulic excavators, wheel loaders, loader backhoes, cranes, motor graders, crawler tractors, piling rigs, forklifts, off-highway trucks and other mining machinery. The company has now started its voyage towards capturing the interests of international buyers for the CE segment.

Shriram Automall, after the Union Budget for 2016, aims to capture a large share in the market as the government has allotted huge amount towards construction of new highways and road network all over the country. With this big push provided by the government, the construction business owners are also in a positive sentiment towards buying both new and used equipment to make their bid for acquiring a new tender. Other government initiatives including the Make in India campaign is also providing the required boost to the segment.

The company offers various platforms for buying and selling used construction equipment, however, private treaty is the most preferred platform for closing the deals when it comes to construction equipment. With personalised approach and negotiated deals, every need is fulfilled with customised solutions through private treaties.

Market point of view
After three years of sluggish growth due to economic slump, the CE industry is on growth path again to gather momentum. Coming out of three years of de-growth, the industry is stabilising this year to gather momentum over the next two years, thanks to reforms and policy measures in the infrastructure sector.

Initiatives of the new (Central) government have made the macro parameters favourable to the industry. With the economy reviving and inflation under control, some reforms such as opening up the insurance and defence sectors for more foreign direct investment (FDI) will lead to more infrastructure projects requiring equipment in India.

The recent Union Budget was also majorly focused towards the reviving the infrastructure of the country and have also allotted a huge budget aside for construction of new roads and highways in the country.

India has globally become one of the key potential markets for construction equipment. Construction market contributed nearly 7 per cent to the India?s GDP and further estimated to acquire 8 per cent by the end of 2015. Further, by 2025, India?s construction market is expected to emerge as the third largest in the world, which would exhibit huge demand for construction equipment in the coming years.

With the new CE market now on track, Shriram Automall also expects to increase its sales as even during the sluggish economic time the demand for the used equipment was rock solid. Now with these new measures, we are hopeful to have good years coming in terms of demand for used construction equipment.
