Speaking at the occasion, JCB India, CEO and Managing Director, Deepak Shetty said, "JCB Excavators have been helping build infrastructure in India for over two decades. They are manufactured at our state-of-the-art facility in Pune with a high degree of localization. In addition to the domestic market, JCB Excavators are also exported to over 80 countries, in line with the vision of an Atmanirbhar Bharat. Infrastructure development activity is set to increase significantly, and these machines will play a leading role in this development. We have invested significantly in the Design, Engineering and Manufacture of these machines to one-global-quality standards in India"

The company showcased its range of 16 different models of Excavators during the event; from the 1.6 Ton Mini Excavator, which is used for smaller applications, to the larger 38.5 Ton Excavator used for bulk Excavation and Mining work. The machines are Engineered for Indian Applications. The Structures and Design are validated at the Test Track at the state-of-the-art Research Centre at Pune.
