JCB MD bullish on rural infra, sees India as manufacturing hub
The Statesman Delhi
|November 27, 2025
NEARLY 70 PC OFJCB SALES ARE IN RURAL INDIA; EXPORTS REACH 135+ COUNTRIES, WITH UNIFORM QUALITY STANDARDS ACROSS ALL FACTORIES. 2024-25 VOLUMES EXPECTED TO FALL (DOMESTIC: 50K->47K, EXPORTS: 14K->11.5K) DUE TO FUNDING ISSUES, UNEVEN INFRASTRUCTURE ROLLOUT, AND WEAKER EXPORTS.
India's construction equipment industry may be navigating a softer year, but JCB India CEO & Managing Director Deepak Shetty remains firmly optimistic. With a renewed rural infrastructure push, a favourable monsoon cycle and a likely easing of the Trump-era US tariffs, Shetty believes India is on the cusp of emerging as the world's premier manufacturing hub for construction machinery-surpassing even China in the coming decade.
