BAUMA CONEXPO INDIA will be entering its 4th edition in

December, how do you feel on the journey of the fair that

began in 2011?

We had started our journey in 2011 with our first show

at Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) area in Mumbai. We kept the

momentum in 2013 at the same venue and we quiet successfully

managed to host the second edition as well with significant

growth in participation, also due to the momentum in the market.

In fact, I assumed my role from the second Indian edition.

From then on we changed the venue to Delhi NCR, having no

space availability in Mumbai. The decision was made to shift

the venue, keeping in mind also the crucial factor, that it was

the national capital and policy makers are based there. The first

year we started in BKC Mumbai with zero infrastructure, which

meant we just had one huge ground to ourselves with no steady

structure to do anything. Now keep in mind transporting all the

heavy equipment’s from various parts of India and the world to be

brought to the venue, which was quite a logistical challenge. Of

course, this is common issue across the globe but in India traffic

and infrastructure facility proved a daunting challenge. But as

they challenge provide opportunities, I soon realized that we had

landed in the right country. It resolved my faith that in a growing

economy like India, a show like this would add value. So, we went

on to do three more shows.

Now via bC India we are launching the show with a new

branding, while making it more in line with what we do on

international level. So, this is technically the first BAUMA

CONEXPO Show in India. In all these years, I have learnt by being

involved in smallest part of the show, travelling across India,

dealing within so many cultures within one country is the art

of making things work and being optimistic. The fair has grown

significantly, we have most of our participants repeating from

the very first edition and of course new ones joining in. In all

these years, I have seen India evolving, I am getting first-hand

experience in how democracy works, how the government’s

decisive initiative to transform India will have a truly positive

impact on our industry. I am living in an interesting time of

transformation in India. Banking revolution, Urban Development,

City Modernization, and projects like housing for all is helping

boost the demand in the sector. So, this edition of the show will

be a fresh beginning to a newer and progressive India.

How is BAUMA CONEXPO INDIA this time going to be

different from the past shows? Give us a sense of what will

be at display for a visitor?

In every sense, it is a different show, in fact in some ways

all our editions have been a standalone. From our shows at BKC,

Mumbai to our last edition at Noida, all have been a unique

experience. We have strived to add value to every edition we do.

This year we a new brand with more global feel to the show. To

begin with we are occupying total area cover of 150,000 square

metre space at HUDA Ground Sector 29 Gurugram. The Gurugram

Exhibition Venue is just 20 minutes away from the domestic and

international Airports. This is expected to provide relief to those

visiting Delhi just for the show immediately. The venue is located

closely to numerous hotels ranging from high end to budget hotels

at very close vicinity. They too are well connected by roads and

public transportation. In fact, the IFFCO Chowk Metro Station is

just next to the ground. The last Noida venue too was fantastic.

But since the venue has had few new additions and we needed a

bigger open space for display, hence the new centrally located

venue fell right into place. This year in addition we have added

a Demo Area, which will allow visitors and buyers to see the

machines in action. That will get a lot of eyeballs. There are more

aces up the sleeve which a visitor will experience and that’s whole

point of rebranding. I cannot spoil the fun or compare further as

it’s a different thing we are doing this time.

In terms of numbers of exhibitors, can you give us a figure of

participants and tell us who all are coming?

The BAUMA CONEXPO 2016 is expected to showcase around

approximately 700 exhibitors and will receive around 30,000

plus business visitors. We are pleased to inform that big names

See You at Bauma Conexpo India

A CURTAIN RAISER

Igor PalkaCEO, bC Expo India Pvt Ltd

like ACE, Ajax Fiori, Ammann Apollo, ASTEC, BAUER, BKT, Case,

Caterpillar, Columbia Machines, Haulotte, Herrenknecht, JCB,

Kobelco, KYB Conmat, Liebherr, Linnhoff, Liugong, Macons, MAN,

Marini, Masa, Potain, Putzmeister, Puzzolana, Sany, Schwing

Stetter, Soilmec, Topwerk, Wacker Neuson, Volvo, and Wirtgen,

XCMG have confirmed their presence for the 2016 edition. Of

course there are many more participants worth a look, a complete

list is available in our exhibitor database online.

There must be some special attractions? Can you share some

of these?

I think we have revealed most of it above and any further

will spoil the fun. Mostly, the machinery, the new product

launches and innovative ideas of our exhibitors are the biggest

attraction and crowd-pulling factor. I believe they are the biggest

contributor to attract thousands of visitors.

Preparation for such a mega event in itself is a big exercise; can

you share with us the kind of support you got from industry

and the ecosystem?

A show like this cannot be complete without full support

from every possible corner we can get, be it the government,

our own partners, our stakeholders and not to mention all those

exhibitors and visitors who make their presence felt. It may seem

a very simple and very easy statement, but to be very honest in

three years in India, I have learnt to work with people. It is the

best training ground for professional who aspires to work on

international level. During my roadshows, business development

meetings I have travelled length and breadth of this country and

even neighboring countries. Everywhere I have come across more

people willing to help and cooperate. We do face lot of hardship

a lot due to external circumstances, specially global economic

slowdown and such factors causing some anxious moments but

that’s when you begin to realize that business will go on and you

just have to work your way across. So without specifying any

name, I remain eternally grateful to all with who we interact with

be it fruitful or absolutely no value at all. But every meeting is a

learning experience and a new value addition to the process.

If we compare BAUMA CONEXPO INDIA with BAUMA China,

how are both different and at the same time unique?

I would not like to compare, as the markets are a lot different.

China without any doubt is very robust in their infrastructure

program and they have taken up some very bold projects for

national development. So yes, the appetite for our equipment is

huge. But then their remains challenges that is specific to that

market. On the other hand, India is much more sturdy. Indian are

very intelligent people, a very different breed of work force.

In India as the government takes up bold initiative and decisive

moves we see a silver lining. To top it all, the ease of doing business

and GST is making India a very attractive destination again. Looking


A CURTAIN RAISER

at the reforms in Banking sector, the RBI’s move regarding NPA’s

of Banks and Demonetization will see investors coming in. So it

will interesting to gauge how India and China are faring in years to

come. Currently, India has upped its ante in the international playing

field, hence more than anything I would love to see the contrast in

how the markets work. Comparing it will be wrong, observing will

make us all respect both markets well. I believe that China too looks

into India and its scope for further business development.

Everybody is talking about growth of construction sector in

India in fact the only Asian country witnessing growth; can you

add a brief perspective?

Yes, and it is true. In the recent past, the Indian government

has been taking steps to bolster its banking and financial sector,

ensuring favourable policies ensures ease of doing business in

India and bringing in uniform tax code among other things to keep

the Indian economic growth on track and bring in fresh set of

investments into the Indian market. In recent past, reports have

indicated India as the fastest growing economy in the world with

7.5 per cent to 8 per cent growth. Even agencies such as S&P

Global Ratings feel the Indian growth story is solid. It has praised

the Indian government’s handling of the economy and its effort to

push for the growth potential as well. But to sustain this growth,

India needs to focus more into its infrastructure sector. As per

the last union budget, the Modi government has committed

to increase spending on total infrastructure investment by 22

percent over the next two years. The Indian government and

international development banks are making billions available for

new roads, bridges, sea and airports, as well as railway and energy

projects. In fact the Indian Union Minister for Road Transport and

Highways and Shipping, Mr. Nitin Gadkari has indicated that the

government will line up Rs. 25Lakh Crore for the highway and

shipping sector over the next five years. Germany Trade & Invest

(GTAI) in a recent report reported that expressway construction

in India in 2016/17 is to be expanded to 15,000 km compared

with 6,000 km the year before. British market research company

Off-Highway Research envisages the approximately 55,000

construction machines is expected to be sold in India in 2016,

thus climbing steadily to more than 71,000 units by 2020.

What are your expectations from the BAUMA CONEXPO

INDIA

Simply, that with each edition of this show we become the

yardstick of how Indian Construction Sector gauges its own

growth. We are able to truly a show that contributes to Indian

growth story. India needs this and I wish this country to develop

further, with the right infrastructure that is needed. Hence, come

and visit and let’s celebrate the biggest feast of the industry in

this sector by mid December.


Can you share what new developments, innovations and

launches, can we expect during the expo?

At Bauma Conexpo India, we would showcase new

technologies and innovations across all our four brands –

Wirtgen,Vogele, Hamm and Kleemann.

From Wirtgen , there will be four new products on display :

Cold Milling machine W 130 cf in the 1.3 mtr class , two Slipform

Pavers SP 64 and SP 94 and also the TCM 180.

From the Vogele Range, we are first time offering 4 new

Pavers for the Indian market – Super 1400 and Super 1403

which are made in India and the Super 1900-3 and Super 2100-3

from Germany which are the latest from the Dash 3 generation of

pavers.

With the new SUPER 1400 and SUPER 1403, Vögele is

presenting true all-Indian road pavers for pave widths up to 7.3

m. The new tracked and wheeled pavers set new standards in

everything that matters to Indian road construction companies.

Both pavers come with ErgoBasic, the revolutionary system for

easy paver operation. ErgoBasic simplifies the operators’ work

and provides comfort and ease.

We would also display two new machines from the new

Kleemann EVO series – the track mounted impactor - MR 110Z

EVO and the tracked Screen MS 703 EVO.The EVO systems

are hallmarked by their excellent transport characteristics,

outstanding performance and versatile ap-plications in natural

stone and recycling applications.

What are your expectations from the mega event?

We are not looking at Bauma Conexpo India from a Business

perspective but as an excellent plat-form to interact with our

customers – both existing as well as potential. This would also

be a plat-form for us to showcase our latest technologies and

innovations . Our customers have an excellent opportunity to

interact with our Product Managers , Application specialists and to

experience our 10 new products introduced to the market – all at

our Outdoor Pavillion 841.

What are your views on the future of construction industry

in India?

We see great opportunities in the roads and the highways

segments in the coming years in India , as the government has

clear focus on roads and enough budget allocation has been done

for road projects. We feel the government is on the right track

with regards to accele-rating the road building activity in India,

and they have already reached a respectable figure of 18 km per

day with close to 10,000 kms of new roads which will be awarded

in this financial year and also awards which are expected from the

state highways. This in turn will further boost the demand for CE

industry in India.

It Will Be An Excellent Platform To Interact With Our Customers

V.G.SakthikumarManaging Director, Schwing Stetter Sales and Services Private Limited

What will be the focus of display from your company?

The focus of display are on our 36 products, which are need

based solutions to the market. We also are addressing the product

needs of recycling of concrete, transport and storage of sludges,

saving water through wastewater treatment and will be specially

showcasing boom training simulator as well.


launches we can expect during the expo?

In BaumaConexpo India 2016, Schwing Stetter India will

be launching a slew of new products. These products are

for different needs of construction like batching concrete,

transporting concrete, pumping concrete, recycling concrete and

shotcreting concrete. But this year, we will be specially addressing

the key focus areas of Government of India in the area of Clean

India or Swachh Bharat and Skill India. Towards those Goals, we

will be displaying Smartec sludge pump, which will be of great

help in projects like cleaning of Ganga, metro rail construction,

waste water management and smart cities.

Similarly, our training simulators will offer opportunity to the

operators to move onto virtual experience and simulation to train

them in safety and operation of concrete boom pumps. This will

be a one step forward compared to the current learning with the

graphics.

Also, we will be showcasing a heavy duty stationary pump

SP 4507 for the first time. SP 4507 is a new development for

the present trend of high rise pumping requirement especially in

growing real estate markets like India and abroad. This new age

pump bridges the gap between SP3800 and SP4800 capacity

pumps. This will cater to high rise segment where the present

challenges of pumping the mix with stiff consistencies at a faster

rate to around 300m vertical.

Other features

1 The pump develops 203 bar pressure on concrete and delivers

an output of 54m3/hr in high pressure configuration.

2 The pump kit and rock valve of the SP 4507 each have their

own hydraulic circuit. It helps to handle high grade mix. The

full power of the pump kit will be available - regardless of

the switching movements of the rock. This ensures a quiet

pump behaviour, high pumping capacity and protection of the

components with less vibration.

3 The new generation ‘rock’ comes with high efficient energy

transfer on the concrete.

4 New operator interface and emergency pressure release

system will ensure safe operating environment.

We will also be launching a slew of products such as:

- Recycling plant RA20

- 5 tonne external climbing flat top tower crane XGT T80

- Wheel loader LW180K

- Motor grader GR 150 II

- Truck mounted crane QY85KA-Y

- Piling rig XR130E

- Crank arm type aerial lift platform GTBZ14J

- Crank arm type aerial work platform GTJZ08

- Horizontal directional drilling machine XZ450 plus.

Schwing Stetter India Will Be Launching A Slew Of New ProductsFocus On Batching, Transporting, Pumping, Recycling And Shotcreting Concrete Equipment.



We expect BaumaConexpo India to have many visitors, the

decision makers especially from the Government departments,

which will give all the manufacturers an opportunity to showcase

the strength of the company and the product to such visitors. This

will definitely help the industry to have a better understanding

about the future requirement of machines for increase in the

scale of construction in India with increased speed and skill levels.

We look forward to the customer feedback and comments for

the products displayed, so that we can finetune and bring out the

products which are capable of addressing their needs.

What are some of the issues facing construction equipment

industry?

The recent demonetization is going to be good in the long

run but in the short term there could be postponement of

purchases or investments due to the changed scenario in the

liquidity. We also expect the GST implementation in April to

put the system out of gear during the implementation phase.

Together, GST and demonetization can potentially bring down

the sales for the next six months. We expect things to improve

tremendously after that.


in India?

In India, over the next few years the “Earthmoving and

Construction Equipment (ECE) Market is expected to grow at a

tremendous CAGR of 20-25%. Currently ECE market accounts

for only $3 billion, but its growth potential is more in the near

future, such that the market would be around $16-20 billion

by 2020. Indian ECE market has the greatest capability to grow

at 20-25% to reach 330k-450k unit sales by 2020 wherein

concreting equipment is to grow at a CAGR of 15% annually.

Plan for the Show

We want to make our booth as interactive and engaging as

possible for visitors. Large outdoor stall with 5 new products

displayed of which 3 will be officially launched in the show.

Volvo Penta, Volvo Trucks and Volvo Financial Services will also

be represented in our stall. We are running live photo booths,

plus quizzes, competitions and more. We’re looking forward to

meeting as many visitors as possible at the show, to understand

how we can help them improve their businesses. Volvo CE will

have an 1,100 sq m display, located at Stand 233 in the outdoor

area. To facilitate a one-stop solution for customers, Volvo

CE and Volvo Financial Services will be launching competitive

financing schemes and on-the-spot credit approvals at bC India.

Focus of display

There are five machines from three product lines on show,

while information on dozens more machines will be available, plus

are a range of activities planned for visitors.

Maintaining the strong focus on road building at the show will

be the P5320B ABG paver which is appearing at a trade show

for the first time, having launched earlier in 2016. Like the new

compactors, this advanced paver is also built at the Bangalore

factory and delivers exceptional paving quality and productivity,

as well as easier operation and outstanding fuel efficiency.

Alongside the compactors and pavers Volvo CE will display

two of its advanced excavators from the D-Series. The 21-ton

rated EC210D and 25-ton rated EC250D represent the latest

in construction technology and are well suited to a range of

applications including road building, irrigation projects or work in

materials handling duties.

In the excavator categories above 30 tons, we have enjoyed

huge success with our D-Series models. The EC300D, EC480 and

EC750D are well-known and popular units in India. We want to

use bC India to show visitors the kind of productivity advantages

our D-Series models offer in smaller classes.

Newer Products/Innovations

Two new compactors will be formally launched at bC India,

both of which are built at the Volvo CE manufacturing facility

in Bangalore. The new DD90B double drum compactor and

SD110BA single drum compactor have their origins in proven

Volvo designs, but feature a number updates to make them even

more attractive to Indian customers. The introduction of the units

is timely, with pressure growing on contractors to ensure projects

stay on schedule as the Government of India targets 30 km of

new road construction per day.

Perhaps the most important design feature of the new DD90B

and SD110BA is the inclusion of a locally-built engine with a

reputation for rugged performance and ease of service. We’ve

also fine-tuned the design of these units so they appeal more

to Indian customers. The new models not only deliver better

vibrating performance they also have Volvo’s trademark fuel

efficiency and will offer faster ROI to owners.

Expectations from the mega event

We are looking forward to meeting with as many customers,

dealers, potential customers and others as possible. With the

current high activity levels in the road building sector, we are

expecting strong interest in the many machines we produce for this

market. We also hope that the event will be a further positive boost

for the Indian construction market as we transition into 2017.

Issues before construction equipment industry

We don’t see bC India 2016 as a platform for very broad

industry discussion. For sure, we expect lots of 1-on-1 dialogue

with industry stakeholders, but conversations will be more localized.

The biggest challenge facing the industry is one of scale

and speed. The government has very ambitious plans for

infrastructure development, particularly in the road building

sector. Contractors are under pressure complete work faster, and

the size of projects continues to grow. The country needs to grow

its equipment base if it is to meet current targets, and we expect

much discussion around this issue at bC India 2016.

Future of construction industry in India

Overall the short-term future for the Indian construction

industry is bright. There is much work to be done and that is

supported by generally positive government initiatives.

What are the issues facing construction equipment industry

and do you think BAUMA CONEXPO INDIA platform will be

used to discuss some of these issues?This type of Exhibitions are a common ground wherein we

actually exchange a lot of ideas with customers, industry peers

and our suppliers and it gives direction for the future.


in India? In recent years, India has witnessed massive investment in

the construction industry from both public and private sector.

Government is investing in infrastructural development for

various kinds of projects, which has led to increase in demand

of construction equipment. Govt. sector is working upon

infrastructural development with proactive approach to shape

the future of building the best facilities in India, which will lead

Showcasing Our High Capacity Concrete Plant MAC-120


What are plans of your company for the show?

In bauma CONEXPO India 2016, for the first time in India

perhaps, we will be running live. Not only a large new Concrete

Block Machine, Model SPM30, but, more significantly, its

Automatic Rack Loader-Unloader, Model UL30, in a 350sq.m.

open stand at this show. This is a completely new Rack and Pallet

Handling technology being introduced for the first time in the

Indian market. By running the equipment live at the show, we

hope to make a significant impact on the audience and provide

visitors with a thorough understanding of the working of this new

equipment and its technology.


At BaumaConExpo 2016, we will be launching a significant

new addition to our concrete block machinery range made in India,

the Model SPM30, which is bigger and better than our flagship

Model SPM20 machine. In addition, the manual pallet and product

handling of the SPM20 plant will be replaced by an indigenously

manufactured, fully automatic Rack Loader/Unloader along with

a Plate Style Cuber for product cubing. Both handling equipment

use technology being introduced for the first time in India. This

will drastically reduce manpower required while improving quality

and efficiency at affordable costs.We now also offer a very large

capacity, fully automated, high technology Concrete Block Plant

made in Poland by Techmatik (a Columbia company).



Same as previous question.


It is important that the show like BaumaConExpo attracts the

best companies from all over the world as exhibitors, which, in

turn, would result in good quality of visitors from the industry.

The show must be well publicised through proper channels so

that the target audience is reached. Hosting venue should be

easily accessible from the nearest airport. There should be a large

number and variety of lodging boarding options with convenient

transport arrangements.Good weather is important particularly

for shows with outdoor stands. We have high expectations from

Bauma this year.

What are the issues facing construction equipment industry

and do you think BAUMA CONEXPO INDIA platform will be

used to discussion some of these issues?

With the slowdown in the real estate market throughout the

country and infrastructure projects barely taking up the existing

slack in capital equipment, machinery sales have been slow. With

the demonetization, there is further uncertainty created in the

market which is likely to slow down further over the next two

quarters. A show like BaumaConExpo provides us a platform to

showcase new technologies and products to the industry. It also

provides an opportunity to connect with existing customers,

producers and competitors and exchange notes and views with

them. Each show also yields new business leads and provides

exposure to a significant new audience.


in India?

The continued slowdown in infrastructure and real estate

sectors in India results in a weak market for our Machinery. The

steps being taken by the present government to clear stalled

infrastructure projects and increase infrastructure spending on

roads, ports, smart cities, industrial and freight corridors should

greatly improve market conditions in the near future.

Any recommendations?

Urbanization is happening at fast pace in India. Government

should focus more on strengthening under developed states

and help to develop India uniformly, increasingly infrastructure,

roads, buildings, schools and hospitals. This will help uniform

development in India.

in India?

The overall slowdown in the world economy had taken a toll

on infrastructure investments in India in last few years. To address

A CURTAIN RAISER

Mitul PatelManaging DirectorApollo Inffratech Private Limited

this issue, the government has set ambitious targets as part of

the on goingTwelfth FYP(FY12–FY17), proposing INR56 lakh

crores of investment in infrastructure. These targets are heavily

weighed towards the second half of the plan,with 52 percent

of total investment expected in the last twoyears of the plan

period. In addition, the Union Budget of the new government has

earmarked INR2lakh crores for investment in infrastructure. The

investments are all allocated for a broad range of infrastructure

projects including roads, airports, rural infrastructure, and urban

infrastructure.

The construction equipment market has improved

tremendously in the last 8-9 months due to huge road and other

launches we can expect during the expo?

Ajax Fiori is focused on R&D and technological innovations in

all our product focused solutions. Ajax Fiori’s new products are

always based on Customer changing needs and feedback from

time to time. Our team continuously works on bringing new

products into the market as required by the concreting needs of

the construction industry.

Ajax Fiori believes in continuously innovating and upgrading

all our products. Our Compact Reduced Bin Batching Plant, the

CRB30 was launched in 2015 is one such initiative. This time too,

at bC India 2016, we will showcase new products and feature

upgrades to our customers.

– Launch of new model JSP 50 Stationary Concrete Pump with a

pumping capacity of 50 cu.m/hr. with new features.

– Full range of Self Loading Concrete Mixers with new features

to improve the consistency and reliability of the quality of

weighing system.


Ajax Fiori is participant of bauma CONEXPO since its inception

in India and are also participating in the 2016 edition. This will be a

wonderful opportunity for customers across segments to witness

the technological developments in the field of Construction

Equipment. As a manufacturer of Concreting Equipment we

expect this event would enhance our penetration to niche markets

and new application segments for our product range.


industry and do you think BAUMA CONEXPO INDIA platform

will be used to discuss some of these issues?

Many of the aggregates (components) used in Construction

machinery have not been localised. This results in increased

manufacturing cost and the burden is passed on to the customer.

Also in view of the long lead time for procurement of these

components, the flexibility to cater to the sudden spurt in demand

is limited.

BC India could be an ideal platform to meet different

component manufacturers and discuss these issues.


in India?

Infrastructure is the base for the progress of any developing

nation to ensure standard quality of life and high gross domestic

product (GDP). There is huge demand for airport infrastructure,

railways, roads, urban and rural housing, and numerous other

projects – all indicating the need for an improved infrastructure.

This signifies the demand and growth of the construction

equipment industry in India.

Increased public spending in key infrastructure development

projects has gradually increased over the past year, and as a result

the Construction Equipment Industry has been recovering.

We expect that the continued thrust on Infrastructure

projects by the Central & various State Governments will maintain

the pace of growth in 2016-17 as well. Going forward, lowered

interest rates and GST implementation along with the acceleration

of Infra projects will further boost the growth of Construction

Equipment Industry.

Plans for the Show

We are presently in a transition phase. The proposed merger

of Kobelco Cranes(KCI) into Kobelco Construction Equipment

India Pvt. Ltd (KCEI) will take place by the end of the current

financial.

There will be a Crawler Crane on display. Also, the recently

launched Okada range of Rock Breakers would be showcased.

Focus of display

Kobelco Cranes is displaying one of their heavy duty Cranes,

the CKL2600i with a maximum lifting capacity of 260MT at this

event. KCEI is highlighting two of their recent launches – the

all new HD range of Okada Rock Breakers as well as the new

Hydraulic Excavator, the SK380HDLC Heavy Tracks, which now

comes with the Best-in-Class Undercarriage.

Newer Developments/innovations

Kobelco is a leading premium global Brand in Crawler-

mounted Cranes. The Okada range of Rock Breakers has been

re-designed based on extensive field trials at sites in India.

These changes ensure higher durability and longer life beside

better performance. As far as the SK380HDLC is concerned,

the new model will set a new standard with its top-of-the-line

Undercarriage – a critical part of the machine.

Expectations from the Expo

Unlike the previous edition of this event, the overall market

sentiment is clearly positive and suggestive of sustained growth.

Much higher footfall can be expected and with many Projects

being revived or newly launched, Customer interest should be

very good. The event venue is a new one and hopefully should not

be a negative factor.

Challenges before CE industry

The CE industry is facing several challenges. The major

challenge of low demand has shown a turnaround. However, it

will require a sustained positive trend to make a proper impact.

Import of cheap, low-technology machines from some countries

or the import of used equipment are also serious challenges. Some

conferences/ discussions are planned to highlight all relevant

issues and concerns.

Future of construction industry in India

We have always seen India as a good future CE market. Our

investments in India are based on our assessment and confidence.

As the Government pushes for large-scale Infra Projects as well as

Mining activities, the outlook is certainly positive.

Your Recommendations

The Government may have to play a facilitator’s role in

ensuring a level playing field through technological upgradation.

may be start of a business relationship.


industry and do you think BAUMA

CONEXPO India platform will be used to discussion some of

these issues?

Government must speedup infrastructure projects clearance

and funding. It will boost up the overall economy and of course

our industry. It’s all more relevant after the demonetisation, that

government and the banks should provid enough funds to kick

start this.

What are your views on the future of the construction

industry in India?

Next year will see a great revival for the construction industry

as the positive effects of demonitisation will start to show from

2017 onwards.

Our Focus Is To Showcase Our Capability As A Total Turnkey Solution Provider For Sand And Aggregates

Haulotte has been a regular participant in BAUMA across the

world. We have been there with BAUMA India since 2011and

have participated in all the three exhibitions held till date. This

year too we shall be there for BAUMA CONEXPO 2016 at

Gurgaon. We shall be located at Outdoor Stall No.840. This is the

only international Show, which we find as an appropriate platform

to exhibit our products. We expect that customers from both end

user sector and rental sector who shall be visiting our stall would

be made familiar to the latest technological advances that we

have done in our range of Aerial Work Platforms and Telehandlers.


For Bauma Conexpo 2016, we shall be exhibiting our latest

generation of Rough Terrain Articulated Boom, Vertical Mast,

Electric Scissor and Telehandler. Each variant has its own USP,

but one of the many distinguishing notable feature is in the

lower ground control Box of our articulating boom. We have

incorporated the Haulotte Diagnostic screen in the panel, which

shall enable the user to get all details of performance and related

parameter at a touch of a button. Further, any fault diagnosis can

also be done on this screen, which gives a pictorial description of

the nature and location of the fault. This tremendously helps in

reducing the downtime of the machine and any intervention can

be done in the shortest possible time.


The aim of participation in Bauma Conexpo is not only for

generation of business, which of course is a prime objective but

also to increase the awareness of the multifarious use of AWP

& Telehandlers across sectors. That is what we are showcasing

in our offering during this exhibition and expect a very positive

response from customers and visitors from both End User and

Rental Segment.


industry and do you think BAUMA CONEXPO INDIA platform

will be used to discuss some of these issues?

The major issue that still continues to plague the CE industry as

such is the differential rate of taxation, entry tax, etc., prevalent

across states. This is a huge impediment to the industry as a whole.

It is heartening to note that government is firm in its commitment

to roll out GST hopefully by April 2017 and this shall indeed have a

positive cascading effect on the industry as a whole.


in India?

On a global perspective the demand of AWP’s has certainly

increased both in Government and Private sector. Rental sector

is also seeing good demands of our equipments, which is an

encouraging sign. Going forward we are sure of the Construction

Equipment Sector is expected to sustain market growth for the

next four years, albeit at more sustainable levels.

With the impetus being given by the government towards

Infrastructure development, we definitely are hopeful that

growth in the Equipment sector shall gather pace in the years to

come. Unfortunately, most of the major projects like the Navi

Mumbai International Airport, Nhava Sheva Sewri Sea Link etc.,

are still in the planning stage; so we are yet to see any substantial

spurt in demands. But going forward we are sure that growth in

this sector shall definitely touch new highs.

We will be exhibiting both of our group companies at

bcIndia – ElectroMech as well as Zoomlion-ElectroMech. At

the ElectroMech booth visitors will get to experience our huge

range of industry leading material handling equipment and get to

chat with our solutions experts present there. At the Zoomlion-

ElectroMech booth visitors will get to experience the wide range

of tower cranes and passenger hoists used in the construction

industry.

What will be the focus of display from your company? Can

you share what new developments, innovations and launches

we can expect during the expo?

We are displaying Zoomlion’s latest range of passenger hoists

for high rise construction. We are also showcasing several marquee

installations we have done across different sites in India.

At ElectroMech we are displaying a wide showcase of our

installations across the world and would be interacting with our

existing and new customers and understanding as to how we can

help them with our solutions approach to solve their material

handling problems.


bcIndia 2016 is being held on the background of increased spend

in the construction equipment sector. Hence we are sure that

we will be meeting a number of new customers at this show as

well as the show allows us to reinforce our relations with existing

customers.

This opportune timing also bodes well from point of view of

generating serious enquiries for the equipment and I am sure, this

will be a busy show for all the participants.


in India?

The government should keep spending on infrastructure!

There is a serious dearth of infrastructure in the country and I am

sure that even if we continue building infrastructure for next 25

years, we still wouldn’t have met all the demands of the Indian

populace. Hence the only request is to keep continuing the razor

sharp focus that the government has today and make India at par

with developed countries.
