JCB's new plant at Pune to serve as outsourcing hub

Bureau

Hyderabad, May 18

JCB India, part of the $2-billion JC Bamford Excavators Limited, is bullish on the Indian construction equipment industry and is in the process of commissioning its second India plant at Pune with an investment outlay of $100 million (Rs 4500.000 Millions).

This new plant would serve as an outsourcing hub for its global requirements and manufacture various parts that go into construction-related equipment and excavators. Even as the Pune plant is underway, the company is investing about Rs 1000.000 Millions in its Delhi facility.

The Managing Director of JCB India, Mr Onkar Singh Sunar, said the new plant is being funded through internal accruals and has been positioned to serve as a sourcing facility for its global requirements.

"We are bullish on the construction industry in India. Given the tight schedules set by project promoters, it is not possible to handle all construction work with human support. Therefore, we see that construction-related equipment and excavators are increasingly being used in India and the market is projected to grow by over 50 per cent this year," he said.

Commissioning the company's 37th dealership in the country, Mr Sunar said, "About 50 per cent of new customer additions in the country was through existing clientele. This called for better service facilities. Therefore, we are investing significantly in strengthening existing dealers and expanding the footprint."

In 2004, the company sold about 2,500 units of equipment for various requirements and this year JCB hopes to cross the 7,000-mark driven by increasing usage of construction related equipment.

"The Asia Pacific region accounts for a significant chunk of the company market and this has prompted us to establish a centre in China," he said.

Apart from expanding operations, JCB is launching a range of equipment for excavation requirements. The southern market accounts for about 30 per cent of the total JCB sales in India and Andhra Pradesh has emerged as a key growth area. The commissioning of the MGB Motor & Auto Agencies in Hyderabad, will help expand the market and strengthen services, he said.

JCB India aims at Rs 6000.000 Millions turnover

Bureau

New Delhi , Nov. 13

EARTH moving equipment maker JCB India Limited aims to increase its turnover to Rs 6000.000 Millions in the current financial year and Rs 7000.000 Millions in 2004-05.

The company claims to have a 82 per cent market share in backhoe loaders, a product that is extensively used in the roads, housing and mining industries. JCB introduced backhoe loaders in the country in the 1960s, and hopes to maintain its share in the Indian market, according to top company officials.

"We have recently launched a new version of the industry leading 3D backhoe loader. The equipment comes with a 4x4 drive that enables the machine to climb steep inclines and offer higher efficiency," JCB Director (Marketing), Mr Sandeep Singh, told Business Line.

With an upturn in the mining sector and continued growth of the roads sector, the company hopes to run its Ballabhgarh facility on the outskirts of the city at full capacity.

JCB's product portfolio also includes loading shovels and excavators and the company has achieved over 90 per cent indigenisation on its products. Engines for the equipment are sourced from Kirloskar, Mr singh said.
