Despite challenges posed by the pandemic, construction equipment maker JCB said it was ‘confident’ of starting operations at its export-focused manufacturing plant in Vadodara, Gujarat, in the first quarter of 2022, CEO and MD Deepak Shetty said.
The company, for which India is one of the largest markets, is seeing increased demand for construction equipment world over as economies are recovering from the pandemic, he pointed out.
“JCB operates in more than 155 countries around the world and India is one of the largest markets for JCB globally… this is a unique year. Following actions taken by governments of various countries, almost all economies are recovering well. So, we are seeing a great opportunity everywhere, but India continues to remain one of the largest and the biggest markets for JCB,” Mr. Shetty said.
According to BACL, the biophilic-inspired business park will offer smart workspaces within a vibrant public realm. The project’s most exceptional and breathtaking attribute lies in the Urban Forest, a lush oasis in the centre of the development. This green space will serve as a focal point, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the area. The upcoming metro station in Airport City will provide seamless connectivity to the business park from the northern side, ensuring convenient accessibility.
