Sanjay Saxena, Vice President, Heavy Equipment Business Unit, Sany Heavy Industry India Pvt Ltd, elaborates on the company's presence in Indian market and future plans.

Our company supplies various types of loaded and empty container handling cranes and industrial heavy duty forklifts of 10 tonne and above. The steady growth in container volumes has allowed us to make investments in this sector to meet the growing demand of container handling equipment and heavy duty forklifts.

With infrastructure and construction sector on fast-track, especially road sector, aggregate processing has become essential to support the construction activities with a matching pace.

Our market is highly correlated to overall infrastructure development which is seeing considerable improvement in the overall ecosystem, from bidding procedures to financing, public sector fund allocations and so forth.

The construction market in India is the second largest in Asia-Pacific Countries (APAC) region and is expected to become the fastest growing market in the region by 2025.

Driven by the infrastructure development activities in the country, hydraulic excavators recorded a sharp growth in 2016 compared to the previous year. The positive trend is continuing this year also with a 26 per cent growth in the first four months.

Given its versatility and mobility, backhoe loader finds great use at almost every construction site, both urban and rural India. This multi-purpose machine continues to perform a variety of tasks at sites and is used for digging, dosing, levelling and lifting activities.

When you think of a paradigm shift, it is not just a change from one way of thinking to another, but it is a revolution, a transformation, a sort of metamorphosis.

Container logistics in India has transformed over the last decade in many ways. The constant change is challenging the established methods of handling and transportation of containers. More and more stringent rules for safety and weighing of containers are keeping all manufacturers of container handling equipment in a constant innovation mode.
