Schwing Stetter looks to expand base in Chhattisgarh


Schwing Stetter India, one of the pioneers of concrete construction equipment in India, has inaugurated its upgraded branch in Raipur. The event was attended by Anand Sundaresan, Managing Director, SCHWING Stetter India and. VG Sakthikumar, Chief Operating Officer, SCHWING Stetter India. With the commencement of this upgraded branch, Schwing Stetter aims to target the booming construction market and active customer base in Raipur.


Speaking on the occasion, Anand Sundaresan said, “Schwing Stetter is getting ready to tap the US$ 1 trillion funds, the government has earmarked for infrastructure development under the 12th Five-Year plan starting 2012. We are also looking at setting up a manufacturing plant in Raipur for which we are scouting for land.”

While lamenting on Schwing Stetter’s recently opened branches in Goa, Patna, Jamshedpur and now in Raipur, VG Sakthikumar said, “Construction equipment industry is expected to do much better than last year in terms of domestic sales and exports. Steady prices of raw materials, new launches, increase in competition and a healthy economy will also contribute towards the growth of the manufacturing industry in India.”

According to a recent Morgan Stanley Research Report, Raipur will be the next city of opportunities in the region and with state government encouraging industries to set shops in the state by giving various tax soaps, several infrastructure and construction activities have been picked up in the state for the last two years.

Media reports, suggesting construction boom in the state, said that the state government has collected revenue of Rs 800 crore from stamp duty and registration fee on land transactions, due to which the size of the real estate industry has grown to over Rs. 11,000 crore in Chhattisgarh in the current fiscal year.
