According to Atul, unprecedented infrastructure-related investment to enable economic development in India will inevitably trigger growth. The expanding presence and engagement of global OEMs in India is another enabler that is driving industry evolution and growth. Most global OEMs are expected to strengthen their presence in India, attracted by one of the world's fastest growing construction equipment markets and their need to mitigate cyclicality in developed markets. Also, increasing export opportunities is another growth enabler.

We manufacture complete track frame assemblies and complete main frame assemblies for excavators, chassis and loader arms for backhoe loaders, chassis for concrete mixers and road compactors, crawler frames and car body frames for heavy duty cranes, boom, arm, bucket, counter weight, battery box, and fuel tanks."
