Pai Machines has announced a landmark acquisition of the manufacturing facilities of L&T Construction Equipment, marking a major leap into the construction equipment sector. The deal, finalized in December 2024, includes a state-of-the-art plant with a production capacity of 1,800 units annually and a skilled workforce of 70 employees, with 40 dedicated to product development.
This acquisition enhances Pai Machines’ ability to deliver a wide range of construction and earth-moving machinery, priced between ₹25 lakh and ₹75 lakh. The company plans to innovate further by developing electric equipment, including batching plants, electric tractors, wheel loaders, and mini excavators. Leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for predictive maintenance, Pai Machines aims to boost performance and reliability.
With India’s construction equipment market projected to grow at an 18% annual rate and reach USD 25 billion by 2030, Pai Machines is strategically positioned to meet rising demand. As urbanisation and the National Infrastructure Pipeline advance, the company’s focus on innovation and sustainability will support the sector’s transition to greener technologies.
This move establishes Pai Machines as a significant player in India’s construction machinery market, poised to reduce dependence on international manufacturers while driving industry progress.
