Abhijit Som, Managing Director, Fayat Road Equipment Division

What new products will you be showcasing at EXCON 2025?

At EXCON 2025, the Fayat Group—through its flagship brands Dynapac, Marini, BOMAG, and PTC—will present a comprehensive portfolio built around digitalisation, sustainability, and next-generation road construction technologies.

Dynapac will introduce advancements in intelligent compaction, connected paving, and low-emission solutions, reinforcing its commitment as “Your Partner on the Road Ahead.” Marini will highlight its energy-efficient asphalt plants with high recycling capabilities.

BOMAG will highlight its globally renowned soil stabilizers and milling machines, along with its latest range of soil and asphalt compactors known for precision, durability, and consistent performance in demanding conditions. PTC will highlight vibro-hammers and foundation engineering systems designed for metro, bridge, and heavy civil infrastructure projects.

Together, these innovations reflect the Group’s strong commitment to future-ready, responsible, and high-performance infrastructure development.

How are your machines supporting efficiency, safety, and sustainability in India’s infrastructure growth?

Efficiency, safety, and sustainability form the core of Fayat Group’s engineering philosophy. Dynapac’s Seismic Compaction Technology reduces fuel consumption by up to 35 per cent while delivering superior compaction results.

BOMAG’s intelligent control systems enhance operating precision, reduce rework, and improve site safety. Marini’s recycling-driven asphalt technologies lower emissions and optimise production costs. PTC’s advanced vibration systems offer higher accuracy in foundation work with reduced environmental impact.

Through low-emission engines, automation, telematics, digital monitoring, and operator-focused technologies, the Fayat Group aligns strongly with India’s vision for safer, greener, and more efficient infrastructure.

With India focusing on mega projects, how do you see demand evolving for large vs. mid-sized equipment?

India’s infrastructure boom is driving strong demand across both large and mid-sized equipment categories. Mega projects such as expressways, metros, and industrial corridors require high-capacity, high-precision machines—an area where Dynapac, BOMAG, Marini, and PTC are global leaders. At the same time, mid-sized and compact machines remain vital for rural roads, urban development, smart-city works, and ongoing maintenance.

With its diverse portfolio, the Fayat Group is uniquely positioned to serve both segments with solutions offering high productivity, fuel efficiency, and intelligent digital capabilities tailored to varied project scales.

How are digital technologies like telematics, AI, and automation being integrated into your machines?

The Fayat Group is at the forefront of digital transformation in road construction machinery. Dynapac’s Dyn@Link and Dyn@Lyzer platforms integrate AI-driven analytics, cloud connectivity, and performance benchmarking for real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance.

BOMAG deploys digital guidance and precision tools for milling and compaction to enhance operator accuracy. Marini incorporates smart controls for temperature management, mix optimisation, and energy reduction.

PTC leverages digital insights to maximise vibration accuracy and jobsite efficiency. This integrated digital ecosystem enables contractors to improve safety, reduce downtime, and deliver higher-quality results.

What role does localisation play in your India strategy?

Localisation—and the broader Make in India vision—is central to the Fayat Group’s long-term strategy. Dynapac’s Pune facility operates as a global manufacturing and R&D hub under the “Made in India for the World” philosophy, exporting to Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

Through supplier development, deep localisation, and lean manufacturing excellence, we achieve cost competitiveness, superior quality, and faster delivery cycles.

By blending global engineering with India-specific design requirements, our machines are optimised for the country’s diverse and challenging working conditions.

This strengthens India's role as a key contributor to the Fayat Group’s international manufacturing network and directly supports the Government of India’s Make in India mission.

How are you ensuring after-sales service and parts availability at remote project sites?

Customer confidence and machine uptime remain at the centre of our service philosophy. We have established one of India's strongest dealer and service networks across Dynapac, BOMAG, Marini, and PTC. Connected platforms like Dyn@Link provide real-time service alerts, preventive maintenance schedules, and rapid diagnostics.

Our parts ecosystem ensures high availability—even in remote project locations—supported by trained service engineers and the Dynapac Academy. This robust combination of digital tools, skilled manpower, and streamlined logistics ensures reliability throughout a project’s lifecycle.

What are your key growth priorities in India over the next three to five years?

Our mid-term priorities include:

• Scaling digital and AI-enabled construction technologies
• Strengthening localisation and make in India initiatives, while expanding global exports through the Pune facility
• Advancing sustainable engineering aligned with India’s Net-Zero 2070 vision
• Expanding training and capability-building programs for operators and technicians
• Deepening dealer partnerships and widening the product portfolio
• Supporting major government and private infrastructure programmes with future-ready solutions

Our goal is to continue being the most trusted partner in India’s evolving infrastructure development journey.

How is the rental ecosystem shaping demand for your products?

India’s rental equipment ecosystem is expanding rapidly, driven by shorter project cycles and the industry’s shift toward cost-efficient, asset-light operations. Fayat Group brands offer durable, fuel-efficient, and easy-to-maintain machines perfectly suited for rental fleets. Our telematics systems enable rental companies to track utilisation, monitor machine health, and reduce unplanned downtime.

With growing focus on local manufacturing, our Make in India machines offer strong reliability and cost efficiency—critical factors for rental businesses. As the rental industry matures, demand for intelligent, versatile, and dependable equipment will continue to rise, and we are well-positioned to support this evolution.
