Give us an overview of the Motor Graders industry in India, latest
trends and market dynamics
The Motor Graders industry in India has witnessed a significant
boost due to large-scale infrastructure projects under the
National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP). With major projects like high-
speed railways, metro rail expansions, and massive connectivity
projects such as Bharatmala and SagarMala, there has been a
positive surge in demand for motor graders. As transportation
costs decrease and new projects are sanctioned to extend the
network for easy logistics, the construction equipment industry
is poised for considerable growth. We expect orders for over
10 motor graders per month for the remaining fiscal year and
over 150 units for FY24, indicating a robust and optimistic market
outlook.
