How do you view the growth scenario of the Indian construction equipment industry?

Currently, the Indian construction equipment industry is poised for significant growth. The government's push for infrastructure development and urbanization projects has resulted in strong demand for modern construction equipment. Initiatives such as Smart Cities, Bharatmala, and Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana demand efficient solutions to accelerate the industry’s growth.

As India is set to become the third-largest construction market globally, what opportunities do you visualize for the construction equipment industry?

As India grows to become the world's third-largest economy, the opportunities for the construction equipment industry expand tremendously. With this rise comes a greater emphasis on sustainability and eco-conscious practices, driving demand for environmentally friendly and energy-efficient machinery. We are unwaveringly committed to providing sustainable solutions to our customers. We are also delighted to bring Milwaukee Power Tools to the Indian market. By providing cutting-edge, green solutions, we not only meet the industry's increasing expectations but also reaffirm our commitment to a more sustainable future for generations to come.

How are you prepared to introduce more efficient and productive equipment to meet customer demand in the future?

At Sudhir, we are continuously investing in research and development to introduce more efficient and productive equipment. Our key partners, including Cummins, JLG, Schneider, and Milwaukee, enable us to create solutions that not only meet but exceed expectations. Last year, we launched our CPCB IV+ emission compliant gensets with best-in-class fuel efficiency. We constantly strive to understand customer needs and global market trends, allowing us to provide solutions that increase productivity, save operational costs, and improve health and safety standards. Our production facilities enable us to quickly adjust to market changes and maintain a competitive edge across the country. 

As India is fast becoming a global manufacturing hub, how are you raising the benchmark of quality to cater to the global market?

At Sudhir, the pursuit of quality extends beyond local limits to serve the global market. The deployment of strict quality control procedures throughout our production processes is critical to our success. Our ISO certifications and adherence to international standards demonstrate our commitment to quality, ensuring that every product bearing our name is of the highest quality and reliability.

What is your current status of Make in India? What are your plans to scale up the Make in India initiative?

Sudhir has been a strong supporter of the Make in India campaign. Our generation, distribution, and electrification equipment, are totally manufactured in India, utilizing local resources and tapping into the country's talent pool. To further support our commitment to the Make in India initiative, we established a mega factory this fiscal year, demonstrating our dedication to the goal of a self-sufficient and globally competitive India.

What do you think about the future of the construction equipment market? What is your vision to be a preferred solution provider to the construction and infrastructure sector?

Digitalization, automation and sustainability will put an impact on the construction equipment market. Advanced technologies such as the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are poised to transform the sector. These advancements will enable real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and enhanced operational efficiency, resulting in significant downtime reduction and increased production. Automation will play a vital role in accuracy and speed in construction processes.

Sustainability will also be a critical concern, driven by both regulatory mandates and the growing demand for environment-friendly solutions. Energy-efficient and low-emission technology will become the norm furthering the commitment to lower the carbon footprint of India. At Sudhir, we strive to be the preferred solution provider all over India. We are heavily investing in technologies and sustainable processes to ensure that we are able to adapt to our customers’ needs. Our customer-centricity and dedication to quality will help propel further progress and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Can you tell us about your CSR initiatives?

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is more than just a box to be checked; it's a sincere dedication to improving the communities we serve. A strong emphasis on skill development is at the heart of our CSR initiatives. Our Manesar-based Skill Development Centre provides a ray of hope for aspirational youth throughout India. In addition to promoting skill development, we support sustainability through organic farming activities and by cultivating fresh vegetables; we not only promote environmental stewardship but also extend a helping hand to the underprivileged sections of society.
