In recent years, India’s demand for construction machinery has grown substantially. It is expected that market demand will become stronger in the next five years. This is the best time for the Chinese construction machinery industry to expand the Indian market. If China’s construction machinery companies can understand India’s key infrastructure projects in time, they will master information and target the Indian market. At the same time, to maintain the cost-effective advantages of China's construction machinery products, and strengthen after-sales service and spare parts supply, can fully open the Indian market.
In recent years, India’s sales of construction machinery and equipment are between 1.5 billion and 2 billion US dollars, and its annual growth rate is 20% to 30%. At present, the use rate of commercial concrete in India is less than 1%, and the use volume in the next five years may increase at a rate of 30%. Therefore, the market for concrete conveying equipment has great potential. At present, the Indian concrete conveying equipment market is dominated by low-end products (about 70%), and the demand for high-end products is gradually increasing.
At present, the Indian government regards infrastructure as one of the key points for economic development. It only costs about 12 billion U.S. dollars for the National Highway "dream project." In the next five to eight years, state-level roads will invest US$1.1 billion each year in addition to the construction of the National Road. It can be said that the road construction equipment market in India has broad prospects, and the demand for cranes, elevators, material handling equipment, and heavy-duty transportation tools will increase. At present, the capacity of the crane market in India is about 100 million U.S. dollars and the market capacity of material handling equipment is about 300 million U.S. dollars.
In 2006, the Indian cabinet approved a $7.5 billion plan to build 10,000 kilometers of highways in mountainous and underdeveloped areas in northern India. The plan will be carried out in two phases, spanning seven northern provinces with a freeway mileage of 10,396 kilometers. The Indian Highway Minister declared that the plan also includes the expansion of highways in 16 provinces.
In the next five years, the funds required for India’s infrastructure construction should be more than US$200 billion, covering infrastructure areas such as electricity, communications, ports, highways, railways, and oil. It is understood that India’s national highways currently account for only about 2%. India is implementing the construction of a gold quadrilateral highway network and a railway network connecting New Delhi, Calcutta, Chennai, and Mumbai, and has now received World Bank, ADB, etc. International organizations offer concessional loans. In the next few years, India will invest 30 billion U.S. dollars in the construction of 12 highways, 3.2 billion U.S. dollars in railway reconstruction, and 2 billion U.S. dollars in the construction of ports. The potential of the Indian market is huge. Chinese construction machinery companies must seize the opportunity to strengthen their export advantages in order to further open the Indian market.
