Ease of travel is now a major priority I for India. According to government statistics, over Rs 11 lakh crore was allocated for infrastructure development in the last year's budget. Some time ago, the Prime Minister highlighted that multi-lane highways and expressways were being constructed across India. He remarked that the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan had accelerated multimodal connectivity and reduced logistics costs. He emphasized that the National Logistics Policy will make India the country with the most competitive logistics costs globally. These efforts are opening numerous new opportunities for the auto industry and are a significant reason for the increasing demand for vehicles in the country.

Considering the vast number of roads and highways being constructed across the country, concrete machines are becoming increasingly popular. Concrete transit mixers, boom placers, self-loading mixers and truck mounted concrete batch mix plant are being redesigned and repackaged as re-engineered machines to reduce the costs associated with concrete transportation and placement. They aim to deliver greater precision and efficiency to meet the specific construction requirements of mega projects such as airports, dams, highways, high-rise buildings, bridges, and more. Perceived as powerhouses of concrete transportation, they are being integrated with advanced technology and a robust structure to ensure that the consistency of the concrete mix is maintained throughout the batching and transit process, closely adhering to project specifications.

Here we bring you some of the innovations and technological advancements in road construction equipment."
