Mr. Shashank Pandey, Business Unit Head – Key Accounts Management, SANY India, highlights the company's focus on technology, localisation and customer-centric innovation to strengthen its leadership in the construction equipment industry. He discusses SANY India's roadmap for 2026, advancements in all-terrain crane technology, upcoming product innovations, and the company's commitment to supporting India's infrastructure growth through sustainable and intelligent equipment solutions.

1. How has SANY India achieved market leadership in various construction equipment segments?

SANY India has built a strong position across multiple construction equipment segments by combining product reliability, technology, localisation and a customer-centric approach. Over the years, we have continuously expanded our product portfolio across excavators, cranes, piling equipment, concrete machinery, road equipment, mining and material-handling solutions, enabling us to address diverse infrastructure and industrial requirements.

A key strength has been our ability to understand evolving customer needs and develop products suited to Indian operating conditions. Our local manufacturing capabilities, expanding dealer and service network, availability of spare parts and strong after-sales support have further strengthened customer confidence. At the same time, SANY is investing significantly in electrification, automation, intelligent controls and digital technologies to prepare customers for the next phase of infrastructure development.

Our objective is not simply to grow market share, but to become a long-term technology and solutions partner for India's infrastructure sector, supporting customers through productivity, lower operating costs and dependable equipment performance.

2. How do your all-terrain cranes deliver excellent load-lifting capacity and superior lifting performance across construction, ocean engineering, nuclear power and wind farm projects?

SANY's all-terrain cranes are engineered to deliver high lifting capacity, stability and mobility across demanding applications. Their combination of robust structural design, advanced hydraulic systems, intelligent control technologies and sophisticated safety systems enables precise and efficient lifting even in challenging project environments.

A major advantage of all-terrain cranes is their ability to travel between locations and operate on varied terrain, providing greater flexibility compared with conventional lifting solutions. Advanced boom configurations and lifting systems allow the cranes to handle demanding loads while maintaining stability and operational control.

These capabilities make them suitable for a wide range of applications, including large-scale construction, infrastructure development, port and ocean-engineering projects, power plants, nuclear power projects and wind-farm construction, where high lifting heights, heavy loads and precise positioning are critical. SANY continues to enhance crane technology to meet the increasingly complex lifting requirements of India's infrastructure and energy sectors.

3. Are there any new products that SANY India is planning to launch this year?

SANY India is continuously strengthening its portfolio with products aligned to the changing requirements of India's infrastructure and construction industry. Our focus for the year is on introducing next-generation equipment with improved productivity, fuel efficiency, operator comfort, connectivity and lower total cost of ownership.

We are particularly looking at opportunities in electrification, intelligent and connected equipment, road machinery, material handling and specialised construction equipment. Some of these products are being evaluated and localised specifically for Indian applications.

We will announce specific new product launches at the appropriate time, as we believe every new introduction should bring a meaningful improvement in productivity, efficiency or application capability for our customers.

4. What will be the roadmap and vision of SANY India in 2026?

Our roadmap for 2026 is centred around technology, localisation, customer value and sustainable growth. India is entering a significant phase of infrastructure development, and SANY aims to play a meaningful role by providing equipment and technology that can help customers execute projects faster, more efficiently and sustainably.

Our key priorities will be to expand and strengthen our product portfolio, deepen localisation and manufacturing capabilities, accelerate the adoption of electric and intelligent equipment, strengthen our after-sales and service ecosystem, and leverage digital technologies for better fleet productivity and customer support.

We will also continue investing in technologies such as telematics, automation, remote operations and electrification, while adapting global SANY technologies to Indian requirements.

Our larger vision is aligned with India's infrastructure ambitions and the journey towards Viksit Bharat 2047. We want SANY India to be more than an equipment manufacturer—we aim to be a trusted technology and solutions partner in building India's next generation of infrastructure.
