High-horsepower rollout

Sanjeev Kumar, President - MHCV, Ashok Leyland, discusses new high-horsepower tippers, haulage demand and segment growth

- 

India’s tipper market is on a strong growth trajectory, driven by Government's continued push for infrastructure development, large-scale road-building programs, and a steady revival in mining activity. While the first half of the year saw a slight dip in volumes due to an early and prolonged monsoon, the outlook remains positive as execution accelerates across NHAI highway packages, rail projects, and BRO road works.

At Ashok Leyland, we are witnessing robust demand, especially for our newly launched high horsepower tippers. Customers are valuing their superior power, proven reliability, and optimized total cost of ownership, making them the preferred choice for demanding construction and mining operations.

What are the new demand areas for tippers in the construction industry?

The construction industry is widening beyond traditional road and real estate sectors. Irrigation projects, metro rail systems, renewable energy balance of plant, industrial parks, and smart city upgrades are all generating requirement of high-performance tippers for specific applications. The western and southern regions of India are leading this surge, driven by industrial corridors, port connectivity and manufacturing clusters.

Our industry leading AVTR modular platform allows us to deliver tippers for these emerging sectors with unprecedented performance, durability, and versatility.

How is the mining sector supporting the growth of tippers?
