Known for its technologically advanced and cost efficient machines Schwing Stetter India has recently

under the title ‘U’ series. The new series of machinery is mainly categorized as the 20U, 28U, and 38U

to CONSTRUCTION OPPORTUNITIES, V. G. SAKTHIKUMAR, MD, SCHWING STETTER INDIA PVT LTD, gives a
overview on the latest trends, his company’s range of mini excavators, after market services and a lot more.

Give us an overview on the Mini Excavators industry in India, latest trends
and market dynamics.
The current market dynamics facilitate the sale of approximately 1100 to
1200 units of mini-excavators in 2022. We believe that with the rising market
trends and requirements the number of units can go up to 1500 by 2023.
The mini-excavator market is purely a product and performance-oriented
market that receives most of its consumption from the demands of the rural
construction sector. The major consumer of mini-excavators is the South
Indian market but with the wide range of applications of the product, we are
receiving more and more attention from the Pan-Indian market.

Tell us about the range of Mini Excavators offered by you, in terms of types,
capacities and applications. Any new launches or new variants to your
existing range.
