Its common knowledge by now that India needs more focus on Infrastructure growth.  The government has also accorded priority for investments in Power, Ports, Transportation and public utility services.  This has triggered new projects in Airports, highways and metro train services, flyovers, across the nation and as a result we are seeing a high demand for construction related equipment from the main contractors as well as subcontractors involved in execution of these projects.

We offer a wide variety of machines and equipment which help in timely completion of projects. But most importantly we offer new and revolutionary products for earlier set up of terrain in new projects with the help of our ground stabilization mats. We have ushered in a new trend in projects where the time consuming procedure of laying new roads, creating special terrain for cranes and other heavy machinery to move is now a thing of the past. The project location can be made ready much earlier than before with these new systems making moving of men and machinery more convenient and easier.
