Unique position supporting India’s ongoing infrastructure buildout
Volvo Construction Equipment is all eager to highlight its strength in depth as well as display the superior productivity of its machines during the upcoming EXCON 2017 show.
Q 1.) Tell us about the road building and coal mining demands and relative growth in India in 2017-18?
The Indian government’s ambitious plan to improve infrastructure will facilitate further growth in the construction equipment industry, notably in road building which remains a very active sector. We also expect that more equipment will be required in coal mining, particularly large excavators.
Q 2.) What are your growth predictions of development for “Volvo Construction Equipment”? How it will push your business?
In the short to medium term, we see a very bright outlook for the Volvo Construction Equipment. India has a lot of potential thanks to the government’s strong push for infrastructure development. This will almost certainly lead to stronger growth in the construction equipment industry. As a market leader, Volvo CE is excited to play a part in facilitating India’s development.
Q 3.) What strengths are you seeking from EXCON 2017? In what ways your company’s future prospects will benefit from this experience?
For Volvo CE, Excon 2017 is a perfect platform to highlight our unique position in supporting India’s ongoing infrastructure buildout.
