Briefly give us an overview of the Backhoe Loader market in India, the
latest trends, current business drivers, sector challenges and market
dynamics?
With the government of India’s focus on infrastructure development,
we believe the construction industry in India will continue to grow in the
long term. This marks a golden era for the Indian construction industry,
with an escalating demand for critical infrastructure projects spanning
railways, road networks, highways, dedicated freight corridors, airports,
electrification initiatives. Together, all these developments and projects
would lead to a parallel growth of the construction equipment market
across the rural as well as urban segment of the country which implies
that there will be a strongly growing demand for backhoe loaders along
with other equipment for supporting these developments. The recent
growth projections for the backhoe loader market reflect this growing
demand.

Detail us on the range of backhoe loaders offered by your company,
in terms of types, capacities and applications.
