MISSION 2030

Can India build the world’s next construction equipment powerhouse?

Machinery Behind Faster Infra

India’s infrastructure ambitions are placing greater demands on project execution, making productivity, uptime and efficiency critical. SIDDHARTH CHATURVEDI explores how advanced equipment, digitalisation, predictive maintenance and lifecycle support can help deliver projects faster and more efficiently.

From Domestic Scale to Global Relevance

India’s construction equipment industry has the scale to look beyond domestic demand, but competing globally will require stronger engineering, suppliers, technology and skills. VG SAKTHIKUMAR outlines the capabilities needed to make export readiness a core part of India’s CE journey.

Improving Equipment Reliability

From excavators, wheel loaders and haul trucks to crushers, conveyors, bulk material handling systems and hydraulic equipment, lubrication plays a critical role in keeping equipment operating safely and efficiently, writes GREG SAVERNIK.

Technology Shift Reshaping the Aggregates Industry

India’s infrastructure push is changing what customers expect from construction and aggregates equipment. HARPREET SINGH examines how automation, connectivity, lifecycle services and electrification are driving the next phase of productivity

Engineering India’s Next Growth Leap

As India’s infrastructure ambitions accelerate, the construction equipment industry must move beyond mechanisation to embrace digitalisation, electrification and ecosystem development. MANISH KULKARNI outlines how technology, productivity, skilled talent and accessible financing can help position India as a globally competitive construction equipment hub by 2030.

The New Productivity Equation

India’s construction equipment industry has built scale; the next challenge is to build intelligence into that scale. SP RAJAN explores how digitalisation, data, AI, localisation and skills could reshape equipment productivity by 2030.

From Momentum to Muscle

India’s construction equipment industry is turning strong domestic demand into deeper manufacturing and export capabilities. AKSHAY AGARWAL examines the trends shaping this transition and India’s prospects in the global equipment market.

From Localisation to Global Competitiveness

India’s construction equipment industry has the scale, talent and market opportunity to emerge as a global manufacturing force. The next leap, however, will depend on how effectively the industry strengthens localisation, manufacturing excellence, technology, supply chains and skills. SANJEEV BAJAJ outlines why these capabilities will be critical to making India a trusted global source of construction equipment by 2030

From Manufacturing Scale to Global Innovation

India’s construction equipment ecosystem is entering a new phase, where manufacturing scale must be matched by deeper capabilities in technology, sustainability and product development. RATNESH SINHA explores how integrated manufacturing, R&D, sustainable practices and global market access can help India emerge as a globally relevant hub for construction equipment innovation and engineering.
