How is the roads & highways development progressing in the country?

India’s road & highway infrastructure is expanding at an impressive pace, fuelled by large-scale projects such as Bharatmala, Sagarmala and various expressway developments. The government’s unwavering push for improved connectivity, logistics efficiency, and high-quality road networks has led to remarkable progress. Additionally, technology has played a crucial role in expediting project execution while ensuring superior durability and precision. Schwing Stetter India has been a key player in this transformation, providing high-performance road construction and concreting equipment that enhances speed, efficiency, and sustainability. With advanced machines that ensure seamless construction and reduced downtime, the company is helping shape India’s next-generation road infrastructure. 

The Budget 2025-26 allocation for roads and highways has no significant increase compared to last year. Will this impact the roads and highways development in the coming years?

While the budget allocation remains steady, the momentum in India’s road development sector is unlikely to slow down. The government is focusing on execution efficiency rather than just increased funding, leveraging public-private partnerships, asset monetization, and hybrid annuity models to accelerate progress. The emphasis on faster project execution, quality control, and sustainability ensures that road construction continues at an optimal pace. Schwing Stetter India is playing a vital role by offering fuel-efficient, automation-driven machines that optimize costs and maximize productivity. Our advanced batching plants and cylinder finishers enhance material utilization, while IoT-enabled monitoring systems facilitate predictive maintenance, ensuring machines remain operational with minimal downtime. 

How are your plant and equipment supporting in laying roads and highways with utmost quality, precision, and sustainability?

Schwing Stetter India’s range of equipment is engineered to deliver unparalleled precision, efficiency, and sustainability in road construction. Our cylinder finishers ensure uniform surface finishing, while our advanced concrete boom pumps guarantee accuracy, minimizing material wastage. High-output batching plants streamline operations, reducing project timelines and optimizing workforce utilization. Sustainability is at the core of our machines, with low-carbon emission technologies, optimized fuel consumption, and water recycling systems embedded in our batching plants. Our commitment to sustainability ensures that infrastructure projects are not just executed efficiently but also align with environmental goals, paving the way for greener and more durable road networks. 

What is your outlook on the growth of India’s roads & highways sector?

The Indian roads & highways sector is poised for significant growth, driven by the expansion of expressways, green corridors, and smart road networks. The integration of AI, IoT, and automation in road construction is expected to improve efficiency, reduce construction timelines, and enhance overall project quality. There is also a growing emphasis on sustainable construction practices that prioritize long-term durability and minimal environmental impact. As the industry evolves, Schwing Stetter India remains at the forefront with next-generation machines designed to meet emerging demands.
