Where is the construction equipment manufacturing industry heading towards in India?
It s headed more towards greater application oriented equipment technology. There is a growth in use of applications and modern technology. Companies can access modern technology, but it should be adapted to our working conditions and applications. How much of technological customisation is happening in your industry? Customisation should be seen in two parts. One is the working condition, which is the ruggedness of the equipment and that s where reliability comes in. The other part of customisation is application and how one can use the machine for multiple applications. We are promoting attachments for various kinds of applications. For example, the track excavator, which is used for digging can also be used for urban waste management by changing the attachments. Essentially, we have to adapt applications that are for Indian needs. Adaptation is the key to success in Indian conditions.
