INDIA WILL EMERGE AS HUB FOR CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT: CII

With a robust manufacturing presence in India, the CE industry is increasingly catering to not only India but to Asia and some parts of Africa

With a projected investment in the infrastructure sector in the 12th Plan period (2012-17), which is pegged at $1 trillion, the global players in the infrastructure sector, especially theconstruction equipment (CE) industry have immense opportunity to participate in India's infrastructure growth story, according to the CII.

With a robust manufacturing presence in India, the CE industry is increasingly catering to not only India but to Asia and some parts of Africa.
CII added that like the automotive industry, the CE industry would soon position India as a global hub for CE manufacturing, design, R & D and components outsourcing.

"Backed by the government's keen and consistent focus on developing the country's infrastructure in order to holistically progress, indeed the segment is phenomenally evolving and is deploying the best of machines, technology and manpower to raise its standards to global levels," Sondhi said.

"Also, to cater to international needs, OEMs & component manufacturers from India have huge export opportunities in countries in the Middle-East and Africa which could be tapped during Excon," he added.

The group, which plans to invest 70 billion Yen (Rs 4,700 crore) by the financial year 2015-16, would bolster the businesses supported by production for consumption in India by increasing localisation component, said Hitachi Executive Vice President and Executive Officer Junzo Nakajima.

"We would strengthen the partnership with the local India partners and as a part of that, human resource pool of the India would be utilised for that," said Nakajima.
Hitachi is expanding its Ahmedabad based Hitachi Hi-Rel Power Electronic Ltd, which produces industrial power electronics.

Moreover, the company is starting a new factory for power metallurgy and friction materials by Hitachi Chemical at Neemrana in Rajasthan. In Neemrana, Hitachi is also setting up its first solar power generation unit in India.
"We would have new R&D centre in Bangalore for construction machinery," he said, adding that Hitachi would also open a automotive device manufacturing facility in Chennai and the construction for this has been started.
"Keeping these bases in India, we would like to expand our business in Africa, Middle East and South East Asia," Nakajima said here during a press meet at Hitachi Social Innovation Forum.
Hitachi has so far invested approximately 35 billion Yen (Rs 2,300 crore) in India.
The group has recently acquired ATM services provider Prizm Payment Service. The company is looking to expand its footprint in the Indian IT sector through acquisitions.
"We would like to do more acquisitions like we have done in case of Prism. If you look at IT-related other acquisitions, in 2011 also we had acquired Hyderabad based Sierra Atlantic," he said adding that the group would continue to look at more such opportunities.
Moreover, Hitachi India Managing Director Ichiro Iino said the company would in January 2014 bid for the railway signalling systems of the Delhi-Mumbai section of the Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) project.

He further informed that Hitachi was seriously looking at an opportunity to supply nuclear power plants in India. It has a JV with US-based GE for its nuclear power business called as GE-Hitachi Nuclear Energy.

On Hitachi's growth in India this financial year, Iino said: "We expect the Hitachi India's revenue for financial year 2013 to grow in double digits."
In FY 2012-13, Hitachi's 59 per cent revenues came from Japan and 41 per cent from overseas. India's contribution was around 1 per cent. Hitachi is now aiming at least 50 per cent revenue to come from overseas by FY 2015-16 and to increase, India's share up to 3 per cent.
