In a major boost for India’s manufacturing sector, LiuGong India has laid the foundation stone for its state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in Pithampur. Spanning a 20-acre site, the new facility marks a $2.8 million investment and underscores the company’s long-term commitment to India’s growth and industrial development.
Located in Pithampur, a prominent industrial hub in Madhya Pradesh, the plant is set to revolutionize India’s construction equipment industry, particularly with a focus on local production of excavators. The facility will initially have a production capacity of 6,500 units, aimed at meeting the growing demand for high-quality construction machinery in the country.
The groundbreaking ceremony saw the participation of key industry leaders, government officials, and LiuGong’s senior management. Wu Song, Managing Director of LiuGong India, expressed enthusiasm about the project, emphasizing the company’s commitment to innovation and local manufacturing. “This new facility underscores our long-term commitment to the Indian market. We are excited to bring our advanced manufacturing capabilities to Pithampur, fostering innovation and creating new job opportunities,” Wu Song stated.
The new plant in Pithampur is a significant step toward enhancing India’s self-reliance in the construction machinery sector. With a focus on domestic production, LiuGong aims to reduce dependency on imports and strengthen India’s position as a manufacturing powerhouse. The plant will leverage cutting-edge technology and streamlined production processes to ensure the manufacture of high-quality excavators that meet global standards.
The establishment of the plant is also expected to generate substantial employment opportunities, contributing to the socio-economic development of Pithampur and surrounding areas. LiuGong India’s new venture aligns with the nation’s vision to become a global manufacturing leader, playing a crucial role in the expansion of India’s infrastructure.
As LiuGong India embarks on this new chapter, it remains dedicated to sustainable growth, innovation, and excellence in manufacturing, marking the beginning of a promising future for both the company and the broader construction equipment industry in India.
