transition toward performance-led adoption.

For over 90 years, FAYAT Road Equipment, has helped construct roads and paths with its technologically

In a exclusive interview to CONSTRUCTION OPPORTUNITIES, RAGHAVENDRA NAIK, GLOBAL DIGITAL
SOLUTIONS & PRODUCT MANAGEMENT INDIA, FAYAT ROAD EQUIPMENT DIVISION – INDIA, gives an
overview on the compaction industry, cutting edge technologies and a lot more.
Briefly give us an overview of the compaction equipment industry, the
latest trends and market dynamics.
India’s Compaction Market is Moving from Volume to Value.
The Indian compaction equipment market today reflects a clear
shift in customer mindset. Historically, procurement decisions were
largely acquisition-cost driven. However, increasing project complexity
and tighter delivery timelines are pushing contractors to prioritize
productivity, reliability, and lifecycle performance.
Large national infrastructure programs, combined with growing
private participation and mechanization of road construction, are
creating sustained demand across both soil and asphalt compaction
segments. Fleet owners are increasingly evaluating machines based
on fuel efficiency, uptime, and measurable output rather than just
machine price.
This marks India’s transition from a volume-led market to a value-led
market — a transition strongly aligned with Dynapac’s philosophy of
delivering performance-driven compaction solutions rather than simply
machines.
