The government initiatives such as the ‘Bharatmala Project, the construction equipment and allied sectors is set to grow at a faster pace, he pointed out.
India will invest Rs.100 lakh crore over the next 5 years which reflects the growth expected in the construction and infrastructure sector.
“What is very heartening to note is that the sector is employing and emphasizing on the interconnectedness of the equipment that they are putting together,” said Sinha.
“Excon has been a trusted brand internationally and the steady increase in the number of International companies reposing faith on the brand is the right indicator that the Construction Equipment Industry is poised for exponential growth”, said Sondhi.
