India’s construction equipment (CE) sector is riding high on the country’s infrastructure boom — from highways to housing and rural projects. In this exclusive conversation, Tata Hitachi leadership shares insights into how the company is evolving with the times: developing autonomous excavators, investing in alternative energy solutions, and ensuring its machines are compatible with up to B40 biodiesel blends.
The discussion also explores how rural mechanisation, government initiatives like 'Har Ghar Jal Yojana’, and the push for sustainable technologies are driving demand across India. With over half of all CE sales coming from backhoe loaders and excavators, the sector continues to grow, even as affordability and R&D remain key focus areas.
