How is L&T positioning its construction and mining machinery business to achieve healthy growth, particularly through investments in service capabilities?

Our growth strategy is closely aligned with the Government of India's infrastructure and road-building push, which is creating unprecedented opportunities for the construction equipment sector. Flagship initiatives, such as Bharatmala, PM Gati Shakti, and the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP), are driving massive investments in highways, expressways, and multimodal logistics corridors. Alongside these, ambitious projects in railways, ports, and airports are further transforming the country's connectivity landscape. Simultaneously, rural connectivity schemes, such as PMGSY, and the focus on modernising urban infrastructure are accelerating demand for advanced equipment. These programmes require machines that deliver speed, reliability, and efficiency at scale—capabilities that L&T is uniquely positioned to provide.

To support this growth, L&T Construction & Mining Machinery is positioning itself as a complete solutions provider, combining robust machine engineering with lifecycle service excellence. A key enabler is the state-of-the-art Central Warehouse at Nagpur, designed to transform spare parts logistics nationwide. The facility utilises AI-backed predictive systems to forecast demand for various categories of parts, including fast-moving consumables, critical components, and seasonal wear parts, ensuring faster availability and minimising downtime for customers.
