JCB hits 100,000 excavators in India

JCB is one of largest construction equipment manufacturers in the world, producing backhoe loaders, excavators, compactors, skid steer loaders and mini diggers for sale across the world. In fact JCB India has reached landmark by recently producing the 100,000 excavator that they have manufactured in India.

The milestone vehicle was unveiled by visiting dignitaries, including: Kamal Nath, the Minister for Road Transport and Highways; Vince Cable, the British Secretary of State for Business and Vipin Sondhi, the chief executive officer of JCB India Ltd. Kamal Nath stressed that India's vast infrastructural road-building project required them to maximise their use of the latest technological innovations, and that JCB were an important part of that, bringing cutting edge construction technology into the country.

Vince Cable stated that JCB had built a worldwide network from their original location in the UK, and was committed to creating jobs in many countries. He also said that considering India's modernising projects, there was plenty of scope for further collaboration.

Vipin Sondhi expressed his delight that JCB's factory in Ballabhgarh was now the largest backhoe loader manufacturing facility in the world, and commented that JCB had a market share of more than 50 percent in India. JCB is looking to meet demand by eventually manufacturing a full range of equipment in India, including wheel loaders and compactors. The company is constantly investing in its Indian facility, especially the plants in Ballabhgarh and Pune, in order to be able to meet the constantly growing need for equipment.
