How do you view the opportunities for construction equipment in the growing infrastructure creations?

India's progress on infrastructure development is impressive and promising. The country has been investing heavily in various sectors such as roads, railways, airports, ports, power, urban development, and industrial corridors. The concrete equipment industry is expected to grow steadily along with the infrastructure demand. The industry is also moving towards more mechanization and automation, which improves the efficiency and productivity of construction projects.
